what is a ricer?

[bingisSD]

Def. ricer: rî-çerr :altezza or altezza-like, sharing initials with APC. remember, you cant spell CrAP without APC.

What I don't get is when people say I'm a ricer just because I have blue colored interior parts and blue hoses in the engine bay. Yeah, the engine is stock but it doesn't look or drive stock. It's a shame the car needs body work. Does all this make me a ricer? Oh yeah, I have an APC short shifter... oh well...

Wait.. your engine is stock.. but it doesn't drive stock? That makes zero sense.

I agree...whatever floats your boat. After getting a MASSIVE speeding ticket recently, i think im going to go mod my exterior for a while and leave my engine the fck alone. lol.

well apc makes resonable price parts, as long as you don't buy anything that is to actually gain power, that may be dangerous, but things like shifters are cool, yeah there are a lot of better ones, but for the time being I respect that, just tell them you are working at it, and respect them, they will shut up if you show respect.

RICER: a person you tell that you have a hatch and their first reaction is "Do you have a Vtec?", like thats the only thing they know about.

RICER: a dudde who reads all the car magezines and always try to look like the smartes one in the group, even when he does not know how to open a cilynder head.

RICER: a stupid person who makes fun of you when you are driving wiht 15" or 16", even when they are SI or Spoon because he only knows about 17".

Is this rice?

[GScivic7]

unlowered ricey wing that isn't painted on top of that + altezza taillights, all it needs is an unpainted bodykit and it would the absolute definition of rice. are those drums painted too...lol

[V T E C H]

Its hard to define rice. You just know it when you see/hear it. lol

[V T E C H]

Oh funny story. Out side my buildng is an old civic (80's?) that only has primer on it, and i kid you not, was colored with a purple permanent marker EVERYWHERE, to the point it almost looked painted, but the ink ran down the side a bit. Even the rims are colored with the marker. THe car is missing a hood as well so you can tell there are no performance mods (at least not visable). But if you like it, thats all that matters. To each his/her own.

I give all the "ricer" guys respect.

The only problem is when they see an import that is accually fast and think that their car can go fast as well. Then they try to roll with the big boys, They show up thinking that all the people with fast cars talk nothing but shit and are mean to eveyone, so they try to follow suit and do the same, then wonder why they are hated on.

A car that most people refer to as "rice" belongs at shows/nice car to cruise around, not at the track telling me that they are going to show my grandma Buick their taillights. (Yes it happend at a track during a midnight mayham night) I can understand why people do it. Honestly, it does not take all the much skill as compared to building and tuning an engine/fast race car. Alot of people don't have acess to the equipment and tools it takes to perform that stuff It's basically just money and hard work which anyone can do. I am not saying it takes no skill to wire up neons or do a body kit.... You guys know what I mean

[GScivic7]

I do not give the ricers any respect. There is a big difference between a ricer and a person who builds show cars. Show cars have a shit load of quality work put into them, most of the time. Ricers just hit up the local autozone and find all the "cool" stuff and just slap it on their car thinking they are fast and furious.

IMO people who build show quality cars aren't ricers. There's two aspects to modding cars, show and go. Some people opt for one or the other and some people try to integrate the two. Either way the real enthusiasts are people who put hard work and effort into their vehicles whether it be show or go. Ricers on the other hand just do it cause it's the cool thing to do IMO.

if there is an apc sticker,blitz bodykit, muffler tip and a advance auto intake then you are a ricer!
