Re: Riced Out!!!!!

Rice

I eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. American muscle baby. When my 95 4.6 Thunderbird was stock it beat a civic with the cold air intake and muffler like it was nothing. I might have been able to stop 2 times in the rice start back and still win. Keep ricing those imports I'll just add more horses not near the same in gears.

I know ricers have fealings also I'm sorry lol.

Some rice is good for your diet though. I love teh RX7 and twin turbo supra

a ricer is someone who makes his car look fast without making it go fast. "all show, no go"

you think you can pump out alot of power with a stock muffler? if it were me.. and say.. i had a nissan se-r or somethign i would go for the nismo exhaust system, and get a carbon fiber hood/trunk and paint them the color of my car, so the weight would be pretty balanced, as for spoilers have you seen the gt races? those cars look riced as hell.. the only different is they are actually fast

Re: Riced Out!!!!!

but the gt races have those big spoilers for a reason. as you said, they go fast, but i dont think a ricer with a big wing is ever going to hit even 120.

Re: Riced Out!!!!!

What do you guys think of cars that are fast with a body kit and spoiler? I kinda wanna buy a 240sx and super charge it after I do some engine work, maybe blueprint it or something. I still think that a decent looking spoiler, not a universal, and a body kit look good. I guess that attracts all the cops tho.

lol...mate, a supercharged 240sx wud attract more than it's fair share of attention - rice or no rice!! pretty good choice though, spoiler and decent body kit go good on a car like that
..but if it's cops u wana avoid, consider a good sleeper project...a decent civic is a popular choice

"Rice" isnt' only limited to exterior changes, there's also alot of "interior" stuff that isn't seen , like to do with engine and exhaust, that doesn't really do much (if any at all) for performance

I don't have the money to buy a half way decent car so I figured if I'm gonna have to drive a piece, I might as well make fun of rice while I'm at it. I'm gonna make A huge wooden spoiler and put on my vehicle and get a bunch of bicycle reflectors and put them all over the exterior. I'll send in pics when I get off my lazy butt and do it.

how can you treat your car that way? a car is a car, atleast give it some respect, and whats worse you are TALKING about ricing ur car, usually people jus throw on a muffler and altezzas n call it a day, your goin all into the bicycle mirrors (the high end ricer stuff)

Hey man, what disrespect. How can you forget decals? I mean c'mon, DECALS!! All ricers gotta have decals, they're dyno-tested to increase horsepower by at least 150%!!

On a different note, I read in a Gran Turrismo book I saw at borders that a particular racing team got 926 horses out of a 1.5 liter engine at 12,500. THat's insane. I don't remember who did it though...
