[amgarrety]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/04/TC1PxaTpng-1.jpg

Interiors took the spot light in March, and a big congratulations to Shiv for taking the trophy in that respect! Are you ready for April? I am. Let's do it.

This month, lets focus on wheels. Show me your favorite setup. This includes rims, tires, suspension, rolled fenders, stance, ect.

Here are 4 simple rules before you nominate someone (and yes, you can nominate yourself). Please read over the entire rule list. [LINK] (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=24958&p=295563#p295563)

1) ROTM is open to all active members with a MR1 thread.
2) Must be a Legacy, Outback, or Baja.
3) No nominating a car that has won within the past 12 months. A winning user may compete again with a different car.
4) No nominating a car that participated in a voting round within the past 3 months. If the car was nominated but not chosen to compete, it may be re-submitted this month.

View the full set of rules here (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=24958&p=295563#p295563). The rules listed above are the most important to take note of before submitting.

When submitting, choose the best full car picture you think best represents the nominated car. Remember, this will be the competing photo, unless the owner of the car themselves requests a different photo. In addition to a photo, include a link to the MR1 thread.

Nominations end Sunday, April 6th, 2014 at 11:59pm PST. That is less time than normal, only about4 days to make a decision on who you would like to nominate, so choose quickly. After that, we will choose the three best contenders for a tight race. We are not just taking the first three submissions, we are taking the cars we think will put up a good fight against each other, so even if you are the 30th nomination, you still have a chance.

I know it states in the rules that ROTM staff cannot compete. I don't see what type of advantage they would have when its the members who nominate and vote.

The reasoning isn't so much the voting round, but instead my selections for who competes. I try not to be biased in my selections, and to me, it would be suspicious if my own selections included myself. Since we have 4 nominations, I won't run this time since I have to choose 3, but if I'm ever nominated and there are only 2 other nominations, I would compete to make 3 contestants since there would obviously be no preferential treatment in my choices.

Thanks for the nomination though!

I was gonna nominate the S401, but I'm a little late. haha...

I will toss this in though.... He is a sleeper member with a really nice setup, however, the details are not there... I'll bug Ken about it.

Kraziken's BD... Believe it has Willwoods now though, with some nice coilovers.
