I like to look at cars to get ideas for my own. Can't see my car with a fishtank in the boot or tiger murals :D :D :D
I get some good ideas at track days, drags, motorkhanas.

No VTEC due to conversion. Computer wants signal from Vehicle Speed Sensor which is in the speedo. I swapped the speedo over but still no VTEC. I'm gonna spend today on it and see whether I can fix it.
When I say I've got photos, I mean I have normal (not digital) photos. Technology passed me by. :rolleyes:

where abouts you live....if you live near by, then I can always ask if my cousins are free, and no harm in them having a look at it.
They just did B18C5 swap into CRX recently.

Too much rice and all-show, no-go at autosalon for me.
It needs to be renamed the "making-a-sow's-ear-out-of-a-silk-purse-salon" :devil:
Still if you want to see the ugliest, most expensive cars that your drug money can buy that can't be driven because the plastic has been slapped on with a shovel, it's a goer :p
I guess SB and Oz will be there :finger:

There is actually a story behind that. I was trying to decide on a name and I originally chose sunriceboy. This was taken (this is 2 years ago when I first started visiting car forums). The slogan was going to be "Rice belongs in bags". So I chose Ozriceboy. And I may re-introduce that slogan.

Use your imagination.
1. Take a nice car
2. Put in a stereo system which effectively doubles the weight of the car.
3. Add a cheesy body kit with no aerodynamic features which actually increases wind resistance and increases the weight of the car further.
4. Slam the suspension so far that the thing will tear off said cheesy bodykit the moment you try and drive it.
5. Add a nice big wing (or two) that will only actually work at 160km/h - at which speed said plaistic body kit will delaminate and fly off the car.
6. Bolt on assorted engine parts which look cool - even though you will prolly never actually start the car. Don't forget to add stickers.
7. Paint on murals that look like a LSD trip gone wrong (hell, selling that shit is prolly how you paid for all the mods so far).
8. Make up BS stories about how much power your car makes - usually based on a multiplier of the number of stickers on your car - even if you've never started it.
It's not a car show, it's simply showing off how much you spent getting someone else to do your car up for you.
Give me a real car that actually sees use anytime. No respect for the saloon boys from me.
