what defines a RICER??

so i was driving down the interstate today and i was just thinking about how gay some kids make there cars and how many cars i see w/ cheap mufflers, gay rims and stickers that dont even go along w/ there car example nismo stickers on hondas and what not. so my question to all of u guys is what do you think defines a ricer. is it the big wings? cheap mufflers, horrible rims, or just plain out bad taste? i want to hear some people go all out on there opinions of what a ricer is and what seperates the real from the fake i think this will be funny

a ricer generally owns a civic or something that is not generally known as a great performance car. (civic = good gas milage and that's about it) Also they do have horrible taste and put big wings on there cars and crappy mufflers. also, not all civics are ricers because there are some nice civics.
also, sometimes you see a neon that is all "riced out" and has stickers all over it and half are freakin nismo (like sidewayz said). is there one nismo performance part on the car??? I seriously doubt that anything nismo makes is gonna fit a dodge neon, yet with those gay stickers it makes you a ricer to me. or what i define as a ricer. hope that helps.
here's some other peoples definitions and some are really funny.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricer&r=f

oh and i forgot to mention that i think its funny when ricers rev on anyone at a stop light including suv's and family sedans. its ok to rev on a suv if its the porshe suv i for get what its call but those r hella fast for a suv

hmm i never new teh defintion of a ricer. i actually thought it was some one who built or drove japanese import cars. huh makes sense though. oh if you see me driving i can't help it my cat was clogged and it was cheaper for me to do an entire exhaust... so i can't help it all i got is an exhaust. but i got some money and am getting everything ready to swap. hmm, guess i learn something new every day.

its ok if you just have an exhaust, that doesn't make you a ricer, thats a genuine performance upgrade, unless its the size of a coffee can on a N/A car... then you might be a ricer lol.

domestic owners think we are all ricers but this is like our opinion of what makes a ricer like someone who has a $900 hks exhaust probablly isnt a ricer but a person w/ a advanced auto parts muffler is more then likely a ricer

well currently i have 2 1/2" cat back exhaust. my brother owns a performence shop so he gives me all parts at cost. it is only temporary until i swap. needed something to make the ka bit quicker because it was and is starting to die on me. plus my previous stock exhaust was clogged so i did it just to hold me over

i've once seen a mustang with GT-R emblems on it. i wouldnt call that ricey, i'd call it dumb as hell. heres a better one. i've once seen a civic with "custom" girlls in the fender, Z3 style. BTW. you can tell they used a blow torch to make the gills. go figure, and ofcourse it had to be sporting that all to famous APC windshield sticker. did i mention the chrome blue windshield wipers and holes in the trunk obviously left from a spoiler taken off. oh it gets better my friends. i've seen an old school Porsche (928 i believe, i kinda dont know porches that well) it was a dull grey, with a faded yellow windsheild banner "Porshe 928" in the ugliest damn font ever. faded yellow windshield wipers and the cream of the crop, faded yellow painted wheels. man that poor poor porsche...moving along, this next one has to rank on the hillbilly hall of fame. i'm sittin at a stop light right, and what do you know, a old beater toyota truck comes to stop right next to me. you'd never guess what this cat had in his interior....CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, yes cristmas lights. guess he was too poor to get some neon lights, but clever enough to hook up some xmas lights to his truck. i swear to god all these sightings are real, but like i said ealier, i dont know if these are exactly examples of rice, but it sure is dumb as hell.

ahahaha, that's great man. christmas lights. :rofl:

yea i know man, i wanted to point and laugh so badly...but some horrible stuff must of happened in his life to make him want to go to extreme measures like that...damn that F&F!!!!!!!!!!! lately i've been seeing this old altima with a huge line up on his doors. mods? just some 16's, lol. i think i attract ricers, NOOOOOOO!!

dude, attracting ricers... like flies to fly paper maybe, but i hope you act like fly paper and KILL THEM!!! lol. some real horrible things must've happened.

funny thing happened this weekend: story time.
my brother and i were driving in his s14 240sx with a s15sr20det swap in it (mroe upgrades, but rather not list them) and we saw this group of people standing around their cars in a parking lot. there was a non turbo eclipse and some other cars. i look at my brother and said, "you should drive into the parking lot crack it sideways then leave thru the other exit." the entrance and exit were right beside each other so it was pretty much sideways 180 turn then blast sideways back out. anyway, the drivers jump in their car and follow us through our town. so we were thinking maybe they didn't like that and they might have been angry. but to our suprise they were in awe and wanted us to come back.
we said we would, but we never did. my brother's reasoning was he made his car known to them. great story i think i will tell my grand children that when i am much older than 19.

crackin a 180 to show of to some ricers, pretty funny . u should have offered them to race and when they asked what mods he had just be like oh i have headers and a AEP cold air intake or some shit like that so its sounds like what the rest of the world has then he should have fucking blow there doors off and they would have bowed to the 240 when they heard the loud PPPPPSSSSSHHHHHHHHH

yeah, it was incredibly fun. he blew off couple times in the sideway show but he did blow off when they were following us. He has a R/F BOV so it is loud. i have my own 240sx, but he can crack sideways better than i can, but i got some problems with mine and it doesn't like to handle. plus i need to learn a bit.

haha that's awesome. pulling and 180 for the ricers. and sidewayz had a good idea, to blow there doors off for fun...

sometimes i think what i would be driving if it weren't for my brother doing what he does. he is the one that got me bit into racing. and it just happened that i found a 1991 240sx se coupe like that week when i started getting interested in what i can do. my first choice was an rx-7 but i think i am liking the 240 better looks more like a sleeper.

that's cool, i have an 89 hb but its not running :disappoin but its still cool cause it will have an SR when it gets done.

(KA lovers don't on me. had my car come with a good KA i probably would have stayed KA and gone KA-T in the future but i had no engine and the SR came with the car...)

yea i guess its a great story but you enticed the ricers in a way....ya know what i mean? if i saw a herd of ricers and i ownd a car that would be superior to anything they will ever get done, then i generally wouldnt "show-off" in front of them. I would know what i have and wouldnt bother with them you get what im saying? EX. Like if i saw them at mcdonalds(i must eat there like 3 times a day, no im not fat), i would drive in the lot park(let them look and drool) and go in, then come out and leave. No unecessary reving to hear the BOV as that will sound off by itself. They will all look and what not and be like damn and realize wtf they are. If that makes sense to anyone.

that first ricer list is funny as hell from amigo!!! I just got an idea to print out a bunch of copies. Highlight what rule ricers have violated and leave it on the window. You know there is always one at the mall parking lot or something, being i work there i have nothing else to do.

hahaha, that would be awesome chuki, putting that on ricer's windshields, i would have never thought of that. my internet messed up so i can't see the whole one thing, (it stops midway through a sentence) but i posted the link anywayz caus i thought it was funny.
a little off topic but what does chuki mean??? i've heard it before and i was thinking it might be canadian but that's probably not right. anwayz i was just wonderin.

for the most part he doesn't show off. it was just we were bored. so when bored make oneself not bored.

chuki that is awesome i think i may have to steal ur idea and walk around my schools campus and do that to cars i love that idea . i may go as fas as putting my cell number down for them so they call me on advice to make there car less ricer but i will never give out our little secret of the 240 i mean it isnt a secret but i would never tell a ricer to buy a 240 unless they would buy it and give it to me i can dream.

i was also thinkign about this im sure there are some sleepers out there that intentionaly make themselves look like ricers to decieve there prey when they race

maybe i should put a trd sticker on my 240 haha just playin i would never disrespect my beloved nissan like that

The "You might be a ricer," list
Cat back muffler(preferably Autozone performance)
Body kit
Spray-painted rims
Type whatever emblems
Giant wing
Guages you have no use for(AF with no mods)
Colored window tint
Audio system that sounds like shit
Steering wheel covor or different steering wheel(unless its a Sparco or something)
APC seats
APC anything
Every sticker imaginable everywhere on the car
If its a civic, then a B16 with a cold air intake.
Flashy engine compartment
shift knob
neons
euro lights
CF hood
rims with cheap tires
I should have just eliminated this list with a simple "If you spend more time buying parts at Autozone than putting parts on your car," but feel free to add on. Maybe this could be a sticky. LMFAO

Chuki you make perfect sense....you would be humble about it. Proving that you dont have to show off your car to get the oooo's and ahhhs and prolly getting more respect that way. Otherwise they might think that ur a "cocky show off"....but showing off once in a while is ok too. I just love it when im at a stop light and i have my system goin and some ricer thinks that im cocking off to him in some way so he revs is car and stares....so i just shake my head...he takes off when the light turns....i either just let him go or if im in the mood i let him get a lil lead and then i race and catch his ass and pass him and let his lil ego go down the drain when my 93 accord beats him.....sad....but true. When or if i ever get my sx done i wouldnt go around reving the car racing everyone at every light....id drive it normal... knowing the fact taht i could prolly beat most of the cars on the road. i agree with chuki and that acting normal or humble is the way to go.

unless i misunderstood you chuki???

no unclebenrep thats perfect understanding. LOL your name is awesome uncle ben as in uncle bens rice lol nice nice. There was a prelude that drove around here with a "powered by uncle bens" sticker on it lol i laughed because its pretty clever.

and as far as what chuki means....i dont know!!! i read what it meant somewhere along time ago but forgot, lol i saw it on jspec.coms site and thought it was a japanese word for "throwup" lol atleast it sounds like it. Ex. Aww man last night i got so wasted and i had to "chuki". Dunno just thought it was funny....but iv heard the word before, i think it goes along the lines of the "kouki" and "zenki" thing....but im not sure. So anyone with more experience on this plz tell. But the "chuki" lights they were selling were hot!!!

hey now nissanfanatic i have a carbon fiber hood but i plan on painting it the same color as the rest of my car and im not a ricer by any means

NOT FAIR i was gonna do that....damnit now its not original!!!! o well im still doin it

Not to target anyone in here, but a surefire way to spot a ricer is to find one who makes fun of ricers and has a ricy car of their own.

Usually people who ask: 'WHAT DEFINES A RICER'... are ricers!

They are just looking for a ricer support group on the net so they can make fun of other ricers.

thats cute ur tryin to call me out on being a ricer. i just wanted to hear everyones feedback to dont be a jackass and try to call me out. i could say usually people who call others ricers are ricers(1viadrift)

*Call me out* <term used by ricer to describe a challenge

I was just kidding man. But, that being said, many people who have posted here sound like ricers to me. This is possibly in reference to chuki's BOV post and peoples acceptance of the lameness contained within. :loser:

i just dont like when someone (iviadrift) trys to call me a ricer when he knows nothing about me or my car or what is done to my car. so know ur shit before u talk shit. if u think im a ricer fine think that but im not i dont have stickers on my car i dont have a wind i dont even have a after market exhaust for gods sake. so fuck u all i have is the s13 front end w/ cf hood (i got a deal on it i dont liek the carbon look i plan to paint it same color as my car) and a sr20 red top no mods on it except for a hks downpipe so my car is not ricey u fucker

I was just kidding, boyo... Don't get all bent out of shape.





BTW: People who usually get bent out of shape about this topic... ARE INDEED RICERS!

*Call me out* <term used by ricer to describe a challenge

I was just kidding man. But, that being said, many people who have posted here sound like ricers to me. This is possibly in reference to chuki's BOV post and peoples acceptance of the lameness contained within. :loser:


lol i dont even have a BOV, i was just saying what i would do if i had his car..... wow its funny how you come in and try to call us out(your totally doing what your making fun of us for)...he must have gotten offended while reading those lists...tisk tisk well back to the neon wiring. Plus thats what many douche bag ricers do is go put a bov on there stock turbo eclipse and rev it up to look cool so yea go away.....back to walmart for lightup air stem caps seems like every accord has those.

LoL

basically a ricer is a person with no performance upgrades and huge ass wings with body kits.


Cat back muffler(preferably Autozone performance)


dont you mean a muffler tip ;)

Biggest ricer I saw was this cat with a 96 eclipse, had neons inside and out, loud exhaust, and then tried to race my 90 Taurus SHO which had 180K and he still lost, and he had a hissing sound like a blow off or NOS, all I know he picked up when I heard it but never got pas me. That was sad, 180K 4dr sedan and you still loose.

biggest ricer ive seen was actually a mustang w/ greddy and nos stickers all over this car was black covered in yellow vinyl everywhere if i nkew how to post pics i would cause i have pics of it

yea a ricer is one thing but a DOMESTIC ricer is just...... the only thing you could do to help you in that situation is just pull the trigger and kill yourself. i mean its one or the other your a domestic guy or an import NO crossbreeds. Cuz really the domestic guys hate to see that and so do the import guys so......atleast thats how it is around here.

Hey guys,

I think we should just assume that we are all ricers and call it even. I think that it is funny that everytime I make a ricer comment someone attacks my accord. I haven't done anything to my car and have no intentions to do anything to it. I might have to get some of those caps that you were talking about tho, those sound tight. We need to stop the "What defines a RICER" threads if we can't take the heat when we ourselves are ricers.

We need to stop fighting amongst ourselves. And the term "ricer" really doesn't make any sense for what we use it for. It made sense for domestics to call us ricers, but not for us to call each other ricers. What we are referring to I think is a "POSER".

hmmm never thought of it that way nissanfanatic i have to agree, but now a days i think there is a difference amongst the imports of "ricers" and so called "tuners" if you get what im saying. I wouldnt consider myself a "ricer" because i drive an import but maybe a "riceburner" because its an asian car..... But when all that shit is done to a car and it just looks like a UFO on wheels with all lights and huge wings, i mean come on wtf is that? I have no "ricer" mods on my car so i dont consider myself in with the UFO type crowd, if that makes any sense to anyone. So yes a "ricer" could be considered a "poser" but not all imports i would consider "ricers". From a domestic point of veiw i can see why they would say that because they prolly dont give a shit about it since its not american.

The difference between a ricer and a tuner is the ricer wants to make his car look, sound, and feel fast when what he is doing does not make it actually go fast. The tuner will like looks but will not want to simply look fast, he wants the go-fast features above all else. That is how we can find known preformance cars riced out, because some people try to look fast with the stickers and rims and spoilers and sound "fast" with fart cans. Never be ashamed of doing prefprmance/power modifications to your car, but do be ashamed of cheep Christmass lights! :looser:

I'm not saying everyone who drives an asian car is a ricer. I'm just saying that the people who put all that wanna-be racer shit from autozone on thier cars are posers. Those are the car people that I don't have a lot of respect for. I believe any vehicle that goes fast or has a lot of work in it deserves respect no matter what the make. And I will say that a 13 or even a 14 second civic deserves respect.

Basically, a ricer is someone who pays more attention to form over function. The parts a ricer installs on his/her car do not increase the horsepower whatsoever and sometimes even hinder it. A ricer is also someone who advertises that he has parts that he clearly doesn't have, like the previously mentionned Nismo stickers on a Neon example. Riced-up cars ironically turnout to be slower and uglier than stock cars.

I only got to see this post today soo plz bear with me
i got school so i cant check the forum all the time anymore

well i wanted to put up my story
its this one RICED out stealth, in my city, OK well here it is this guy has a red dodge stealth i forget the year with this silver racing strip down the middle like that of the vipers [the two bar strip that goes down the middle of the car], its an automatic, only has an intake and exhuast [and yes one of thse autozone megaphone coffe cans], blue neon lights inside and out, a wing that makes it look like he could drive off a cliff and float safely back to earth, chrome looking rims, and subs w/ case that probly weigh more than me.

i mean my friend took him in 4th, the stealth was flooring his car i could hear the engine stressing out, i also got a glimsp of his car trembling and weaving b/c the wing LoL

It's sad to see a riced out 3S, I'm glad most people who have them tend to know not to do shit like that.

I hate to see riced out cars like that. Stealths, Zs, 3ks, MKs, RXs, 240s all the real cars. You expect to see civics and shit riced. It actually hurts you when someone treats them like that.

The small colored lights on the hoods wiper fluid nipples...what are those things for??? I'd rather hook up the X-mas lights in my interior any day, even old school x-mas lights that'll burn ya!!!

Next mod: Aluminum beach chair drivers seat and astroturf carpets. Neon exhaust tips are as bad as anything, and by the way - so is the word "ricer". Funny thread, but if I were Asian I might seriously consider if that use of words is funny. Look - if you can take the part off the car and you don't lose any speed, etc... or if no one even notices your car in the first place without some tacky Auto Zone BS on it or inside, then you are an official punkass and need to report to a friendly garage that will let you get dirty in anyway possible and learn about cars and what makes them work well. Inside every poser there's a genuine speed freak just waitin' to be hatched. The mass application of the word "tuner" is worthy of a bitch-slap most times too.

am I one? My rims are worth about what my car is

sexy sw388s ;)

on hey needed my C/F hood and i have a b16 with intake

oh well i'm a ricer

The best deffinition of a ricer is Honda CRX with a huge crap exhaust, a wing that stands a foot high, a bright yellow shitty paint job, and a fire exstinguisher hanging in the front like he races. Then he pulls up next to me in my civic and revs up. I dust his doors and slow down. He then pulls up next to me again and revs up again. That is a ricer. My civic looks like shit but it has an LS/Vtec with a couple mods. 14.1 best on stock steelies. 14.3's consistantly. Sleeper 4-door with altezza lights and a gay oval exhaust tip, but it's quick.

to me, there seems to be a constant opinion here, and on links people have posted, and its this:

a "ricer" is somebody who adds parts to their car which do not increase power/performance or are absolutely pointless. stickers, badges and paint jobs may also qualify a car as a "ricer's ride", ie "type-R" badges on a stock accord. most of the time these parts are simply accessories but other times, they have potential to create power and/or increase performance, for example 1) exhaust (or fart can), 2) wing.
1) $49 fart cans on 94 neons won't increase the hp but will make them louder, simulating an exhaust. the principal is there but you've got the wrong hardware big guy
2) wing because there are cars out there that have functional spoilers, like F1 cars, but unfortunately, your 92 civic doesn't go 220mph so the spoiler doesn't change anything but the looks. the principal is there but you've got the wrong hardware big guy.

there are also cars that some people consider ricers but others don't. there will always be arguments b/w people about this. acesnyper says his rims are worth more than his car. well, almost any S13 chassis (sometimes even S14) 240 with a N/A KA will probably not be worth as much as a set of decent rims, so that argument is not very reasonable. this is going nowhere but in a circle.

a riced up car is basically anything but fast.

damn, ive got alot of work to do...

Why is it in any post I go to lately, there is some argument over some topic, to put paspective into place, all y'alls' posts are our defination of Ricers, but in actual sense the term: RICER (s) was first used by your own flesh and blood on thier own flesh and blood.
Basically your daddys with the big block Elcaminos/Z28s/Stangs (cars that when you tapped the gas, the frame vibrated so hard that your mommy got an instant orgasm, haven't y'all realised the Baby boom era went hand in hand with the Big Block era???? F*** the small displacement/emission era, I could be getting laid like a MotherF**** with my T-RAm, with a big block, sheet metal that transmits all engine and road vibration, it would be a 3800lb Vibrator ) called all the little discplacement auto owning drivers, Ricers.As the trend got a big following, then came the split of the Domestic crowd (cheap HP) and the import (Ricers) crowds, and then the none decided idiots who couldn't choose and stayed in between.
So wether you CRX or 240 has 600hp, your dady still refers you as a Ricers to his friends when you aren't around.
Now we came up with our version of Ricers mainlys as the MOFOs who want to LOO fast instead of also having the ability to go fast.


So quit bitching, go order my favourite, Fried Lice and Sesemi chicken, and enjoy your meal inside your RICE MOBILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Oh by the way, notice my use of "YOUR DADDYS", as I wasn't raised in the states, and we really didn't have any domestic cars, as all our cars were F****** imports, from the Fords to the Jags and Benzes, down to the Pegeuots (miss these cars), so I definately know my Daddy never called me a "Rice driving MOFO" behind my back. WOOOOHOOOoooooo





















In actuall sense, we were so F***** poor driving a nissan Sentra was big pimping, and yet we had MotherF***** driving Big body bullet proof Benzes.

now that i think of it in the terms of imports vs north american cars, it seems more like a racial thing.. which i'm not gonna get into cause i don't agree with it.. but anybody else who doesn't care, feel free cause you probably know what i'm thinking

"Hooptes" . There is this one young guy running around with a
Civic with "picinic table" wing and clear lens.He trys to race everything
with it.also drives crazy.rode on my ass with my wife's mini van.
There alot of those types in S.Fla
