not flaming...jus saying

Eclipse 4 cylinder engine with turbo isn't that impressive, not that much output. The fact that the car is lightweight makes it quick. And then of course the turbo's added. but the main factor is the low weight. The old eclipse engine on the new eclipses which are heavier wouldn't do much.

nonono...u missed my point. not the stock turbo...'m sayin if it has an aftermarket turbo the size of ur head or bigger...then its gonna be a mean lookin 4 banger. i agree 100 percent, stock, I4's are not much to look at.

I don't I think a hatch with a b-series swap or how bout an h22? I think its very impressive. Now the clear hood thing is kinda gay but other than that I disagree.

my definition of riece is either:

A) Anyone that spends more money on the looks of their car than making it perform better

or

B) Anyone that has a combination of alteezas, rims on the back and not the front, and anyone which those huge ass APC stickers (or any APC stickers for that matter

)

So all those people who have cars that can leave you coughing from exhaust, but choose to make it look good are ricers?

not quite sure what you meant about coughing from the exhaust, I think you either meant their cars are hoopdie or they're really fast, but I still stick to my definition.

Yea, if you are coughing from exhaust, it's probably burning oil, in that case it would be behind you if you were trying to say it would win races.
When spending all that on looks, they are so broke all they have left to spend is on a fart can.

This is how i look at it, im not a ricer fan as you prob already figured out, but that doesn't mean that any bodykit is rice at all. I just think there are some ridiculous looking ones that are just too exaggerated with the whole curves and ripple thing they got going on there. Some kits that ive actually liked are such... my fav was a 300zx body kit which created a larger front intake, besides the front, i liked the car stock better. A 3000gt, nice looking with a kit. I reciently saw what i think was an Acura TL with a tricked out kit covering just about anything< never thought id like my mom's car more than mine

But i do have to admit, all of these did look really nice. Of course these are just the minority though

Ok i gotta argue with that. Ricers are wannabe racers. Jews are not wannabe nazis....
