YOUR definition of RICE

cars with bad-ass kits and damn loud exaust, but strugle to even do 17 or 18 second quater miles.

in other words, looks the buisness but no balls at all...

I think he hit the nail on the head... Cars that are all show no go... a celica is a good example, nice looking, but slow as a mutha.

of course there is always some meaningful things you could do to a celica to make it quick, but that doesn't involve lights, rims, or a fart can.

I hate the term. I personally think that if thats what they want to do thats what they should.People say If its a honda its automatically rice. I never use it becuase I repsect what other people like. I mean no one calls us fast and furious wannabes if we race do they?

But what if someone plans on getting a kit, rims, underbody lights, an exhaust and intake, and a turbo kit...In that order.
If they can only afford the kit and rims at first is their car rice? I don't think it would be...See what I mean? Very few people can afford to drop $10,000 at one time on mods. So while they're working towards a goal, their car may be unfinished. That doesn't mean they're ricey though...

save up and buy the turbo first. hten buy the rest. i believe in kits being backed up by engines. or buy it in that order and wait to put it on all at once.

But not everyone does that. And not everyone will go turbo, either. Nor would everyone even consider going turbo first. Self has a point: most wouldn't drop $10,000 one-time for mods. Unless they're rich or can at least afford it.

actualyl self did mention turbo thats why i said turbo. and fine say they dont go turbo and htey go all motor i would still do the engine work first. and i never said it would be 10k at once all i say is buy it over time then install at once. or buyo over time starting with performance mods. especially the ones that arent noisy

Yes, I agree with you that engine work should go first, though that again is according to one's preference. Not all will go after performance--some might go mainly for looks.

Well than, that person should worry about making the stock car FAST before he worries about making the stock car LOOK fast. And anyone who could afford a kit and rims set definatly has enough cash to put towards some performance mods. I've seen what some of those kits go for, you can almost buy a new engine with some of those prices. I got a Jegs mag. right here... heres the price of a body kit on a civic $920.99 and this plus a spoiler ($403.99) that right there is a total of $1324.98!!! AND THE CAR IS STILL STOCK (than add tax) That's not even with the rims. I relize that exhaust and stuff can be expensive too, but that's the whole point of what saving for it is. So if people say they don't have enough for some performance mods and are spending it on all this stuff without anything to back up the looks. They are plain and simply a ricer. I don't care if they make the car look fast at the end, but performance should always be number one. And nobody is saying you have to spend 10,000 on mods right away, there are always small and cheep things you could do that make a more meaningful difference than ground effects.

Well then I guess I'm officially a ricer...On my old Z28, I most definitely bought an SS spoiler, rims, and got my windows tinted before I did anything else. Next I got an exhaust...
