There's nothing unfortunate about that. DSM's are amazing machines. The 4G63 can easily make 400 horsepower with no internal mods.

That is true... once modded they get quick fast, and also relatively cheap to mod too.

The vast majority of people I would call ricers are rich white boys with big heads; has nothing to do with racism, just a clever word coined to describe a certain albeit immature style of automotive preference

When american people call asian ricers, they don't offend us... it's like a compliment.

OK THIS THREAD WAS TO COMMEND THE MODERATORS AND THE PPL OF THIS FORUM FOR THE QUALITY OF INFO AND THE AMOUNT OF LOVE YOU GET HERE.

As for the discussion how japanese racers get offended plz stfu what dont you understand that when somebody rags on ricers it has nothing to do with you being japanese, chinese, mexican, phillipino or whatecer you are its the attitude of the person the way his car looks has alot to do with it and the most important is the bragging about races that never happened that no one saw.

So plz i hate dam ppl who wanna scream racism for any little reason plz get a life nobody is being anywhere near racist if you wanna be ignorant and take it personal go ahead i wont loose no sleep

[Reckage]

Also yes even domestics are called ricers when they "rice out" their car by throwing on a bunch of pointless stickers and graphics and ovesized aluminum rings and so on and so foth.

[youngvr4]

calm the hell down man, i said in my post above everything you just said ^^ look i said a ricer is anyone who is ignorant of cars as in they think there civic with headers and a wing can beat a srt-4. i said if the moderator who i was talking to, was saying that all japanese cars are called ricers than that can be looked at as racist. i also said if you look agian before opening your mouth that a ricer can be a stang owner or the owner of anycar if there some f&f reject.

anything else you wanna complain about pm me!

[JoeWagon]

youngvr4 I now understand what you were trying to say, must have misunderstood. I was just mentioning what I did because there are adults who call my (almost) stock DSM a rice-burner. I'm not going to be angry at anyone for that, I just realize that some Americans will call Japanese cars certain things, no matter if they are our definition of 'riced out' with the wing, etc.

I agree I only think that a ricer is an 'anti-sleeper', but I know other meanings too, what I said above.

[Reckage]

ok youngvr4 i saw the previous responses i just thought you jumped the gun a little about asains gettind pissed off by the word ricer

Ok thats it if you guys want to discuss the ricer theory someone start a new thread this was a thread to compliment how kool and how awsome this forum is.

I will soon be heading to dallas dealer auctions to pick up a 2g eclipse I'm hoping for a 97 and up rs/gs wish me luck

[BoostedSpyder]

get a turbo!!! GST!!!!

[Nstyle29]

agreed, GS-T or GSX, you don't want to get a car like this that can't even beat a taurus off the line...unless you plan on puttin a turbo on it! IMO you would be happier with the GS-T or GSX

HISTORY LESSON:
there are two kind of rice.
a. the burnt, and overcooked smelly rice. (i'm sure you don't want that)

b. the medium well boiled yummy rice with clean shinny surface. cooked just about right. (now that's well done and yummy)

it's ok to be a ricer. in fact.. i am proud to be one. after all.... i AM asian and my rice is nicely modded IMO. and i don't think the term Ricer was eve meant to be racist. at least not that i know.
