Rice 101

Ok, people time for School. Rice 101, this is a basic course on how to tell if you are a RICE driver. If you DO NOT fall under this category AWESOME! If you do, Maybe this list will help you fix the problem.


- you find yourself using the excuse 'yo, but you gots twice as many cylindas, dude after EVERY race
- you drive a 4 door 'type R'
- your gumby pants make it hard to shift
- more than 20 of your mods involve shielding what is actually underneath
- you have stickers that even most asians don't get
- you have stickers for parts you dont have
- you refer to 50hp as the 'big shot'
- your car has so much camber it can drive on its side
- when you drive by, WWII veterans run for shelter
- your exhaust tip diameter is 4 times the inner muffler diameter
- you have 'power by' anything anywhere on a car made by the engine manufacturer
- birds make nests on your spoiler because its taller than the trees
- you sell crack for the image...not the money
- you have 'N/T' polished on the side of car and you don't know what bracket racing is...
- you will only race if the other guy removes four sparkplugs
- you can't race uphills
- you have "All Motor" emblazoned on your rear hatch right next to your 14.50 dial in
- you brag to have nitrous and have a 14.50 dial in
- your exhaust system for your 1.8L is bigger than most Pro-stock cars
- you spent more money on stickers and stripes than your parents paid for your car
- you go to a performance shop and immediately start rummaging through the decal bin
- your tach is bigger than your head
- you have a shiftlight and your car is an automatic
- you refuse to race because it's a "show car"
- your only mods are cut factory springs and a 5" chrome exhaust tip
- at Autocross events you don't participate because you have a drag race setup and at drag events you brag about kicking ass on the autocross.
- you have more lights on the front of your car than the USS Voyager
- you brag about a turbo kit that never seems to get installed.
- your exhaust sounds like a dying Moose
- your bright green $300 air filter is bigger than your engine.


More power to the Quick Hondas and Acuras... Mazdas... Nissans.. and the Toyotas too... I just hope none of us fall under the category of... RICE.


This list was brought to you by Musclecarclub.com Yes, they like muscle cars, and Yes they have a section on Imports which is actually quite good.

I was never really thrilled about the 4 door Integra Type R:

But I'd love to get my hands on the Accord Euro R:

Nonetheless, both are 4-doors, and both are a rare jewel in North America...

But I know the Type-R-sticker-on-a-Civic-Ferio people that you mean... ;)

were you drunk when you wrote this ? hahaha kidding.

im not making fun of rice. well i am, but not the serious racer guys.
the ones with actual potential. mainly the posers with the Red Baron type wings.

oh man, that list is great, when I go the races in Ventura, they ALL fit under this list...even the musclecars :huh:

Ever seen a 65 Mugen 289 Mustang?....I have....:rolleyes:

Ok, thats unforgivable.

It does not get any lower then that.

No but seen a SIR Trans Am

If I ever see a camaro with "mugen" anywhere on the car, there is going to be a classic case of road rage when I get out of my car and bitch slap them until they swore they were a red-headed step child.

Haha, that one was great :)

Good for me, I don't even come close to any of those.

But a Fiero Type R would be rpetty bad, too. :p

I'm sorry but i don't agree with that one.......just because someone might have seatbelt covers or something, that say POWERED BY ????? doesn't mean they are a ricer...

yeah but it looks silly...

if you drive a ford, we know its powered by a ford.

if you drive a honda, we know theres a honda motor somewhere in there.

you dont need to advertise who's motor you have in your car... when its writen on your car already.

I have a few good ones, if I can find them I will post them up.

yah, i've seen a SiR Trans Am, ....I cryed....(kidding...mostly) :hehe:

Theres a Saturn running around here with a huge spoiler on it (it looks like he used a staple gun). I am going to see if I can catch it on Camera. Its truely the best visual aid in describing rice that I have ever seen.

in the UK we dont normally use the term "ricer", in fact i neva heard of it til i came on here. is the car in my signature a ricer?

Back home, we have way cooler namez for our cars!

89-93 Galant = Eterna
Accord = Maestro, Cielo
Civic = Ferio, Genio, Estillo
3000GT = GTO
Supra = 3000GT
MR2 = 2000GT
Altima = Optima
240SX = Silvia
300ZX = Fairlady
Lexus RX300 = Toyota Harrier

Lots more, but can't think of 'em quite off the bat!

We also have some really cool cars we don't get here:

Honda City (looks like a Civic-sized Accord), comes in Type Z flavor
Galant VR-4 (2.5L twin-turbo AWD, my vote for phattest sedan EVER)
Evo I-VII (my vote for second-phattest sedan/s? ever)
Toyota Crown (big-ass Toy boat)
Toyota Corona (slightly smaller than a Camry)
