definition of ricer?

Can someone tell me the exact meaning of the word ricer. I have general idea but thats all.

I think it gets kind of dumb but from what I've gathered it's the kids with the huge exhausts that are useless and the big wings and unpainted body kits and neon etc. Though some of these cars like in HCi and stuff have had a lot of work put into them and I respect them for doing it because thats a lot of skill and money involved most of the time. Basically it's the people who buy those cheap 300$ weight adding kits and the huge wings that probably slow you down and ruin your gas mileage. I'm gonna stop there because I don't want to get into an argument. 'cuz getting in an argument on the internet is like the special olympics. Even if you win you're still retarded.

It includes but is not limited to the following:

Not knowing what speed is.
Making a car look faster then it is.
Civic.
Parts that wouldnt even make sense on a spaceship.

And im jk about the civic, some do have some punch, but not many.

Haha man I didn't know what to say about the civic thing. Yeah some of them do. Actually I have a HCi a while back with Lisa Kubo's(hot car) drag car on the fornt with a small 93 civic. Looks nice and basic with a butt load of hp and tq.

being a ricer is more of an attitude than what you do to your car.

I think when you add stuff to your car for the sake of having something on your car is rice. It may not fit the color scheme, look, or even make and model ::cough:: type - r stickers on civics ::cough:: but they do it anyways. Wheel covers that say NOS.

More so I think then the cars themselves, its the punk kids who drive them. Often having no respect for other cars, and refusing to compliment someone on their accomplishments like flipping people off after they beat you in a race instead of a thumbs up or wave.

I think it also has to do with uninformed people who do Huge burnouts to get their tires sticky (on stock tires) , double clutch in a drag race, and assumptions about other cars and their performance.

thats just my :2cents:

It's one persons opinion of someone or something else.

Here in MN, ricer: 2 front wheels donuts
-LOTS and LOTS of stickers
-a big a$$ exhaust
-a big a$$ wing that looks like its gonna fly
-back two rims are either Integra GS, LS, GSR rims, Honda Si rims
-any thing that sounds like a fart can...yep..only some civics/tegs/ricers have the power not to be called a ricer...i think...?

So what if your car is fast, but looks like crap? What does that make me?

A ricer is the poser of the car world. JekylandHyde posted a pretty good link. We could use that as a sticky.

Car is fast but looks like crap: Racer on a budget.

lol ok I'll use that from now on.

So what if your car is fast, but looks like crap? What does that make me?

sleeper status b/c no one suspects a thing.. hehe

:D no body kits or wings for me just turbo w/ a side mount and all u can hear is a pshaaawww when i shift... BWAHAHAHAHA...sorry got lost in my head again

i also beleive that ricer is mostly attitude.

you wouldn't beleive the things some ricers beleive, seriously.
stock civics being faster than lightnings. rsx-s are 10 sec cars stock. my friend with exhaust and intake on his neon beat a corvette.......... list goes on and on. they live in the fantasy world of F&F

I just thought of a good example. Twice already I've heard people say that "srt-4's can run low 12's"...... STOCK. With all honesty they belive the srt-4 can whoop on an srt-10 in stock configuration. Ricers tend to act like they know facts when half of the time it is BS. There is a difference between not knowing (uninformed), and posing like you know information when you actually have no clue (uninformed ricer). Even if you try to call them out on their "facts" they won't back down. Trust me I tried to convince the two people about the srt-4's that vipers are quicker, and they won't have it.

If you think that a viper would win, check yourself...and remember the SRT has nawz in it's mufflers and a beefed up rotary engine. It has at least 500hp rwhp, and does a 1/4 in like 3.5 seconds. Mine has racing stripes and a new body for mad aero yo! specially when im hitting 300mph. v8 killah 4 sho!
^enough said.

Ricers are the kids who beg their mom and dad's for popular cars at the time, place gigantic spoilers and huge exaust pipes on it, believe that every sticker adds horsepower, or by some way, putting a Type - R Sticker will give it that sort of performance, claiming that their basically stock acura legend or honda civic can beat a v8 stang... etc...

or the domestic ricer is the kid who has a v6 stang that adds a gigantic spoiler on it with huge exaust and puts a damn hemi sticker on the side. No i'm not kidding.. there's one that drives a horrid yellow 01 stang v6 with it on it... i've challenged him when i had my j30 but he said 'your not worth the gas" in front of his girl... and i even bet him gas money, he backed down...

Everything PEP Boys, Autozone and every auto place has to offer. Maybe all these ricers get a discount at those places. It's funny how everyone describes a ricer the same way...they all get their parts at the same place....maybe even take turns switching parts out.

Just because a car with a big aluminum wing and tacky paint job is fast doesn't mean it's not a ricer :2cents:

I had a kid tell me that I was stupid for buying off line when I should buy at autozone, since their stuf is 'the best of the best performance wise'. I wanted to waste him. He had a corsica with a ugly ass spoiler and the important 4 inch exhaust. I can't race anymore, I just found out that I have a blown ring in the second cylinder of my accord :-( I'll have the vtec soon so its okay, just has to last me a little while. Then I'll waste that little ricer and laugh at his ugly spoiler.

i have a little neon under my driverside dash dose that make me a ricer it looks pretty cool at night but dose not give me horse power. But i bought it form a friend for like $10 so it was cheap thats the only thing i have on my car except for under the hood.

I agree with all of this but hasnt the fast and furious movies played a big role in the whole "ricer" movement? I swear if a 3rd movie comes out things will just get worse. Ricers are already ruining mustangs, camaros, and firebirds with their wings and fart cans. It will be a sign of end times when we see Z06 corvettes and dodge vipers rolling down the stree with spinner rims, 120 lb wings, fart can tips, and NOS stickers.

simply put.. that won't happen. no parent in their right mind would buy their 16 year old kid a viper or a z06 vette. the reason kids are getting those neon's, accords, civics, etc are because of 3 reasons
1. they are relatively cheap
2. they get good gas milege
3. they get a lower insurance rate

viper is none of the above, nor is the vette. so no worries lol. i'm happy because i won't ever see a ricer in an infiniti for that reason as well

I heard a few weeks ago that a 3rd F&F got the greenlight....
There is on campus here, a Chevy Lumina (I wanna say '96...) that has a paint job that looks like a splash (from the top down...dammit I need a camera), and an aluminum wing. I wish I was kidding.

oooh don't worry, i'll have some hella great pics come november (my birthday 22!!) when i get my niiiice digi cam... u'll see the rice crap we deal with here, on top of the great cars that are just out and about.

stockton is full of the "ricer" type cars. although there are some kickass civics around here. the ratio of nice worthy cars to riced out whatever the shit they are is not cool... anyhow, my 2cents on ricers.
15-19 year old(maybye older) kids who think that becuase jesse james goes to autozone that they have to go buy from there, its also those people who honestly think they are the einstien of the car world and when they get proved wrong or say something stupid they wont take it back or admit to being wrong, its the guys who think that its a bad thing to loose a race even tho they should have "smoked your ass" off the line or if they didnt have a passenger in the car they would have won... and then flip you the bird cuz you beat them. honestly a ricer to me is a kid with rich parents who buys them whatever their heart desires and doesnt know how to handle the car and then goes and kills themself trying to show off for their "girl"(who is probably a slut in the first place). and ruins the fun of racing or having a good time with cars for the rest of us. i gotta stop before i get mad

ok i think u all miss the point..... the only real ricers are the ones that THINK they know about cars, but they dont. They think owning a "done up" car makes them automatically an expert. a few other things... i wont say stickers are wrong - to each his own right? but if u put a brand sticker u have to have something on/in the car from that company... and v-tec is only for hondas never cross breed stickers .... like i have seen mitsubishis with V-tec and VTi-R stickers and ive seen a corolla with a ralliart sticker...

i've seen a v6 stang with a hemi sticker

i've seen a nissan altima with a type -r and my favorite

a chevy impala (newer model) with a skyline logo with the gt-r

viper is none of the above, nor is the vette. so no worries lol. i'm happy because i won't ever see a ricer in an infiniti for that reason as well

sorry buddy, but it has already been done. seen a kid in a infiniti q45 riced out.
and beleive it or not, a C5 corvette with a huge wing on the back and stickers all over.
i've seen it all :grinno:

no!!!! that's not true! that's impossible!!!

well... i thought there was hope... i guess there's too many parents with too much money and kids with no taste.

No way, I bet the vette was a joke. I've seen lots of cars with funny ricer mocking stickers and crap on them like this chick in a shagin-wagon van that had all sorts of honda VTEC and NOS crap on it, she smiled when I laughed and gave her the thumbs up, that was most definately a joke.

no, if you seen this you would no it was no joke. the paint was that ugly gray color the ricers paint it.

sucks

Oh my... I just didn't want to think of a corvette being defaced like that... Some people...

It's a damn shame.

ok i bought a 87 RX7 it came with a borla catback exhaust and street glow neon lights does this make me a ricer?

I saw a Viper Venom 600 with a big ass wing on the back... convertible... prolly a 1 foot aluminum CF wing... Ugly... Old dude drivin it.

In that case, it was probably necessary, so he can stick to the Earth. (Because, Vipers are the be-all-and-end-all of sports cars.....right? lol)

Actually, I feel that somebody may as well be a ricer by having a beautiful car like a Corvette, or a Viper, or some such, and then NOT know how to drive it properly. People who buy cars just for the "status points" and not for the joy of driving them.

i saw an explorer with a wing on it today... damn funny stuff there

I think that the ricer problem will just get worse. It is true about vettes being "riced" out. Late 70s-early 90s vettes are easy to get ahold of and many kids I see are buying them and ricing them out. It won't be long until all cars, viper, porshe, ferrari will be vulnerable to "ricing". And god help us all if the producers of Fast and Furious 3 get their hands on an enzo and go to rice town with it.

why is being a ricer suck a bad thing. i mean i understand the whole body kits not matching colors and all the ghetto looking shit but i dont consider myself a ricer even though my CIVIC has a different colored driver door wing trunk and rear bumper, but because i bought the car and salvaged it and have no money to continue right now to repair it further. So all you who think that is a ricer grow up and take your head out of you a$$.

This is why I think ricers suck. Ricers make their cars all show and NO go. Just because they got some flashy stuff on their car they think it's the fastest thing on earth. Then when somebody in a real car (mustang, vette, viper, camaro, ect) tries to call them on it, they back down.

for one thing a stang vette and camaro ill give you the viper, but the rest are not real cars. you take one ricer and think that everyone is like that. i have a civic and my car honestly looks like shit, mismatching color paints because of an accident, but instead of doing that i put a short shifter and intake and lowering springs instead of making my car look nice, and im a girl i think thats better than buying a mustang and putting no mods on it and still think your the sh*t

sorry didnt mean to swear

I'm not making fun of your Civic, I like how you've done something to your car (springs, intake, shifter). The fact is ricer kids don't do stuff like that. They'd rather put money into rims, wings, stickers, ect and they drive around thinking they have the fastest, best performing machine out there. Now you may say that they just want to make their car look nice and/or different. There is nothing wrong with that but please, just because they put the biggest wing they could find on their car doesn't mean it's the fastest. They don't mod like what you did, to them a good mod is putting a big 12 inch echo tip on their exhaust and a fake hood scoop.

My friend put spoiler on his mini van. Just to make fun of all the retards at school with spoilers on everything. I just don't understand those people. Sure it looks nice in some instances, but it serves them no purpose. Their cars can't even go fast enough to produce down force.

Supertunerchic, if you car came like that then ok. Otherwise, why would you put a spoiler on? Even though you don't think your a ricer, you are close. When will the Vtec stickers get smacked onto the back of your civic?

i don't think that's ricer scuba... there's a big difference in "different car color to impress" and "different car color cause you're broke" cause i'm the second one myself right now (silver and green) because i don't have the cash right now for a paintjob. if she bought a body kit and said it made her go super fast or threw 30 stickers on it all saying vtec or type r, that would be a bit different.... i don't think she's a ricer, but i mean i am just going by what she previously posted.

A lot of it is attitute, as was said before. What's sad is that it's mostly a result of where they grow up and what cars they're exposed to. I've had more than one would-be ricer go for a ride in my Cobra and get out of the car with a completely changed attitude regarding how fast a 'Stang is compared to their Civic or Sunfire or Cavalier (there's a lot of Domestic "rice" in Louisiana).

When I was a kid I thought Grand Am's and Beretta's were respectably quick, but I also grew up going to the local 1/2 mile dirt oval, smelling race fuel and rubber and listening to small and big block V-8's scream around the track, so naturally V-8 power is where I looked when I got my car my senior year. I was also fortunate to graduate in '99 so I was pre-ricer movement...The closest thing to rice in my hometown was my brother's '87 Nissan SE V6 King Cab 4x4 truck. It was actually one of the quicker trucks around. (Nearly all trucks in Iowa are 4x4).

Back to the attitude, it gets down to the fact that many of these kids have no idea what horsepower is, or how to make it. I watched a kid run high 16's in a civic with nothing but exhaust, cold air, and 8 miles of colored wire loom, then proceed to tell everyone his civic had 600 horsepower.

The other thing is, it's a stereotype. I've been accused of it because I'm modding my Daytona, until the ignoramus discovers what else I drive....

My opinion a ricer is someone who has no real mods to their car, has no idea how much power it has, just adds up the advertisements on all their bolt ons, Only street races and makes an azz out of themselves doing so (in traffic, etc..) instead of running at the strip, And typically will usually frown on any car that isn't lowered with a body kit on it...

I'll leave fart pipes out of this. Just know that I think they are the WORST thing since communism to happen to the world.

The other day I saw a z28(93-96?) era V-6 Camaro badged as an SS with a huge single exhaust.

Whatever makes you happy, right?

Thank you for an educated post. Many of these people are saying that a ricer is someone with a huge spoiler, bodykit, exhaust, etc. when that really isn't a ricer. If a car is set up for show, why throw away money into making it fast? Fast cars aren't necessarily showstoppers...

Also, those huge exhausts you complain about actually do increase performance in some instances. A turbocharged Civic running 12's at the track may actually need 4" piping all the way to the exhaust tip, and it will probably sound exactly like a 16 second civic.

A "ricer" is really a state of mind, and I think it has little to nothing to do with the vehicle. I guess the rest is based on subjective taste, which you really have no right to judge.

the new guy-- Yes I agree some cars may need a huge exhaust, though I have yet to see where more than 3" per 4 cylinders is beneficial at all, but bottom line, a car needing that much exhaust flow doesn't have much of a place off the track, so really shouldn't need an exhaust system at all beyond a downpipe (in the case of a turbo car) or header extensions (on a muscle car. )

Again, to each his own, but I haven't yet heard a huge muffler/tip that sounded good to me. Then again I'm the 5.0 with flow's type...

i've seen a v6 stang with a hemi sticker

i've seen a nissan altima with a type -r and my favorite

a chevy impala (newer model) with a skyline logo with the gt-r

i kno a guy with around a 93 honda civic with ONE of the new dodge hemi stickiplates...just on the left fender...

I own a 89 Maxima 5-speed...and yes, to some people i "riced" it out because i put a cone filter on my factory intake tubing, a dual-tip DTM-style exhaust (sounds very damn nice btw...sounds nothing like an import...much deeper...), and cut my shift arm down approx. 3" to intall a shift knob and boot. in the somewhat near future i plan on putting an aftermarket y-pipe and a higher-flowing catalytic converter on it, which i kno will produce more HP because they both produce better flow, but i am not a ricer by any means.

i kno its not the fastest car in the world by any means, and i kno what i can and can't match up against...but the car is relatively quick for what it is. I kno for a fact that i can outrun V6 mustangs because in my old car (a 92 Grand Prix) they were just slightly faster than me...but my maxima is quite a bit faster than my grand prix, one because its a 5 speed and 2 because its got more HP...

I would say a ricer is someone who puts a couple sad mods in their car, goes around trying to race ferrari's (cause he saw it in the fast and the furious), revs his stupid engine for absolutely no reason, and peels out of his local coffee shop trying to impress everybody with his front wheel drive peel outs


Better yet a ricer is the dude in my signature thing

why is being a ricer suck a bad thing. i mean i understand the whole body kits not matching colors and all the ghetto looking shit but i dont consider myself a ricer even though my CIVIC has a different colored driver door wing trunk and rear bumper, but because i bought the car and salvaged it and have no money to continue right now to repair it further. So all you who think that is a ricer grow up and take your head out of you a$$.

I believe that is called a "budget". Ricer really is an attitude. Ricers can technically drive anything. Its the people that lose a race and fly by you or cut you off in an itersection. I had two redneck kids in a Z-71 with buckshots cut me off at a traffic light with no power(4-way stop) and point at me and laugh. Well needless to say I passed them, but I didn't risk an accident. In my book they are ricers.

Ricers are an infestation.

is a 2 color car concidered a ricer?
