YOUR definition of RICE

well...thought i'd jus start a new thread an get some ppl talkin in here. wut all to u guys signifies rice?

here's my list:

-Altezzas (unless it is on the Altezza or any other lexus)
-Exhaust that has a diameter over 4.5 inches
-Lots an lots of stickers that the person when the person has only one of the named products, an that is the headlights
-HUGE aluminum spoilers (they jus don't fit)
-Guys in ANY car that sit there rev'n on everything that moves, simply because they have an exhaust system (unless its a fast car ie: SVT Cobra, Z06, Ferrari...etc u get the point).
-People who believe the Fast and the Furious was based on a true story
-Cars with rim's that are worth more than the car.
-People who truly believe that a civic with exhaust can beat almost anything because it is "MAD TYTE YO"

well...add on as u please, but lets keep this a flame free thread, jus want to kno wut u guys think of when u hear "rice."

here is some true rice:D http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t79600.html

I should move this but I'll let it stay to try to lighten up the mood of the room. Please people, refer to the guidelines I put at the top of the page and try to follow them.

Sincerly,

The Dictator:devil:

1. Altezzas (minus the CF or black housing ones they are OK on some cars)
2. Huge wings
3. Rims on back and steelies up front on a slow car....(cavy, stock crx hf, etc..)
4. Type R badges on anything that isnt a Type R
5. APC stickers anywhere
6. Just a muffler and they say they have exaust
7. Valve cap lights, lisence plate screw lights....etc
8. Anything on your car Performance wise from Pep Boys

Just to add on to that etc., wiper nozzle lights and those exhaust tips that light up. Those things annoy the crap out of me. My basic breakdown is anything that's not clean is rice. It's gotta be a clean job. There is some leniency (sp) for vehicles that are in the works, but driving around with a kit on your car when it's not painted is rice, IMO. Save the extra few bucks before you get it to paint it.

My definition of rice...hmmm...\/\/\/\/:D

ooo...adding to the lights...the tire caps that light up...those things SCREAM rice

1. All of the lights people mentioned before.
2. Stickers for products you don't have.
3. HUGE aluminum wings(I usually thing the smaller more conservative ones look ok).
4. Unpainted body panels
5. Steelies/donuts on the street
6. Dropped cars(sure you've all seen those...The style of lowering where they push the wheels out further from the body and make the car looks like an RC car only not as good and a whole lot GHEYER).
7. Bad interior paint jobs. If you can't afford to get it done by the pros you're probably better off not doing it, b/c 90% of interior paintjobs chip, fade, peel, and flake and look extremely bad.

:) :D

found this web site fits what u are talking about:o

I've actually stopped defining what rice is, mainly because people have different tastes. Some might go for looks, and others for performance. However, if I might define who's a ricer, it's one who wants to look fast, but can't even do squat once you race them, and I've seen lots of them out on the road.

Neon underbody kits are extreme rice:p
Also the little flame stickers, yuck :apuke:
And anyone who drives like Paul Walker :hehe:

Shh, butthole!!! :D

Rice is defined by a mixture of the car and the driver.

Wings.......meaning the ones that are bigger than the car.

That about sums it up.

A ricer is also someone with euro's, and a sound system that vibrates so badly that the car looses traction. << u know it!

RICE= a car that's slower then it's stock version

that's true too. and i hate fart cans, next time i see one im gona kick it off.

IMO, "rice" is a stereotype that serves as a crutch for the weak-minded. On top of that, it has been over-used and abused to the point where it can be highly offensive to some people in Asian communities.

Calling stuff "rice" is so passee. :rolleyes: Get over it. We all know bad taste when we see it.

I certainly wouldn't mind at all if the word dropped out of our lexicon.

i am of asian heritage (100% Korean), an it doesn't offend me. nor does it offend many of the asians i hang out w/. everyone eats rice, american, mexican, cuban, african...so u can't really say it'd only offend asians. i think the term is fine. IMO

That's really mature of you KrNx racer to be cool with that. It's good to see that you are confident enough to not care about petty slang.

I'll tell you what I really hate seeing, ppl who put acura emblems upside down on their honda :angryfire I hate that more than almost anything!
Also ppl who put GTR emblems on their mustang, PEOPLE COME ON GTR IS A NISSAN SKYLINE, NOT A V6 MUSTANG!!!!

not as bad ass a 1988 nissan sentra gtr type r

I have never seen anyone do that, I must be out of the loop, or out of High school...That is dumb, I agree about putting other emblems on cars. I have seen the Acura upside down thing, but not the GTR on a mustang. That is new to me. Why would they even do that. Must be some form of rice.

I am pretty new to this forum, can some one tell me how to post a pic in my message. It is not there when I preview my post.

I gave up on trying to post the pic...try this link to see it, and I think you will see some rice and a nice mustang.

haha, Ive seen that too but it dosen't bother me as much. I think its rather clever, do you know what it stands for? I would never do it to my car, but I've seen it and I still get a kick out of it.

God, emblem upsidedown, do they think their car is a joke or something. That is someone with no pride for their car.

No I don't know what it stands for, but I can see what they are tring to do is mahe an agressive H. But it looks more like a V to me! I once saw a kid at the speed shop I go to and he had a four door civic 98 model. He put acura emblems ( factory type) on it and tried to tell me it was a very rare acura prototype. I was like you are a fu*kin idiot!
I also ran in to this guy who works there kinda, And he has a 91 accord 2dr. He tried to tell me it was #24 of the type R's. He continued to tell me that it had DOHC VTEC with a turbo from the factory with 390hp:eek:. I look outside at the rice infested POS he called his type R and siad really what motor does it have? Is it the b22 (knowing there is no such thing lol) and he said yea that's it. I said I have never seen one in person lets go check it out. Then he was like well it is really dirty. I said I don't care lets have a look. Than he said well the motor is on a engine stand in my garage and that he had a stock accord motor in it till he got done "upgrading the type R motor". Then I perceeded to tell him how I made up the b22 thing and how it doesn't exsist and what a moron he is and so on. Before that day I did not know what a true RICER was LOL!

It stands for something?? I thought it was just them trying to "spruce up" the H emblem as well...What does it mean?

what does it stand for?

please #1 inform us all i wanna know. it always just looked lieka funny V to me.

-GTi-VR6_A3

i thought they were funny lookin h's

I say this one car that had his windshield wipers painted red for some odd reason. That looked pretty gay.

oh that reminds me those giant one blade windshield wipers they so funny

It stands for "this car will get you mad (vagina)" although it's severly abused, half the cars I see with it on it, look like ass.

guess i must be stupid or something but what does vagine have to do with being mad? and what does it have to do with an upside down a?

mad means "alot of" and an upside down Acura symbol looks like a V.
simplified for the ghetto impaired "this car will get you girls".

k thats a little gay but whatever floats your boat

chicks probally laugh at you cause they go hey look at that dumbass he put that on upside down

Hmmm, definitely never heard that. They shouldn't advertise that though, that's stupid, hahah. They should just say that they did it as a more aggressive looking "H":D :p

they should just leave their emblems stock or shaved...

-GTi-VR6_A3

like I said I'd never do it to my car, but i do find it rather clever.

I love it when they revv their engines, instead of thinking "damn that thing sounds fast" i think, "damn, that thing sounds like shiiit" Just making fools out of themselves.

a Trans AM with a combat spoiler (the one on the black civics in Fast and the furious) i actually have seen that

and also Mustangs with Enkei rims Black Purple paint and aforemention spoiler. Seen that too. Not to mention it was a six cylinder.

Old Grey painted Trans Am with High School Design painted onto the hood.

air intake and exhaust on anything less than a B16.

I can deal with the Trans Am with the spoiler, i think a rear wheel drive car like the Trans Am has more of a need for a spoiler than a front wheel drive civic. :D

Obviously I agree with inferno... I understand your thinking about the RWD, needing the down force on the rear tires, but the down force is used for in general traction and stability, when a spoiler is working the most, I am pretty sure that you are not going to have enough power to spin your tires, so it doesn't matter RWD or FWD...When the Audi TT first came out, they had to recall them after 6 months, because they did not come with a spoiler on the back, and at high speed, the number I heard was 125 mph, the car was too floaty, and the rear end was bounceing around...so the next year and every year since they have had a spoiler. The Audi TT that I am talking about is AWD...

Rice...hmmm...does the Ford F-150 with the Japanese Kanji lettering and the HUGE "R" emblem I saw today count?:D

That was pathetic.

To give you my definition:


Alteezas- EXCEPT on IS200's, ES300's, Passats, Mazda6's and FIAT Stilo Arabath's where they came on the car from the factroy.

Badly done graphics and paint

Emblems that don't belong on the car

Large Mufflers that are the only extra power the car has been given- and they don't even know how much the car has gotten as a result.

The driver thinks he can smash anything on the road

A Honda driver who revs at Ferraris, Corvettes, XR8's and HSV's

I know a good deal of Honda's who would not only rev on those cars, but beat them. Of course there are more that don't have anything done to their car and still rev thinking they have a chance.

Sorry for being indefinite- but yeah, those types :D

RICE= Long list of mods in your sig and the only performance parts is an intake.:rolleyes:

Would those mods happen to only be exterior ones, since that's the most those who are called ricers go for...

Inferno, i obviously don't understand how a front wheel drive car would need one more than a rear wheel drive one. Maybe you can explain for me than...? :rolleyes:

MODS
Indeglo Gauges
Razo pedals
Type R shift knob
Type R floor mats
Halo projector's
Hyper white headlights
Altezza Tails
R badges
Kenwood CD changer
APC INTAKE!!!

:hehehe:

hmmm...i would agree that if it were a list like that, then it'd be rice, but if someone goes ALL show, an not much go, then i don't really think they are rice. cars can have a ton of money into the exterior an jack shit in the motor, an i'd still think it was a nice ride. but, once again, i do agree that if u list things like "pedals/lighting" as a mod, an nothing else, then it would be rice.

If you're a true car enthusiast, you'd have heard of the the different Touring Car competitions across Europe and, for a VERY brief while, here in America. In Europe, these races are just about as big as NASCAR here is. These cars are somewhat at fault for how "ricers" came up with their ideas. They all have body cladding, HUGE wings, 19-inch rims, AND are all mostly FWD. The difference with those cars of course, is that the body kits actually reduced drag and produced downforce, which the wing also did. The rims allowed for VERY low-profile tires that had barely any sidewall flex to allow for very awesome handling cars.

Another good example is the Mugen bodykit/wing for the Acura RSX. Mugen is one of the very rare companies that actually do wind-tunnel testing on their kits. Mugen kits cost about $4,000...compared to about $1,500 for a Wings West kit. The reason being that the wind-tunnel tested Mugen kit/wing actually reduces the RSXs drag coefficient, therefore increasing top-speed and gas mileage, while you'd just have to pray and hope, and be satisfied with the looks of the WW kit.
