carta79 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 so what does "rice" mean? To sum it up "rice" is any car modification that is done without taste. A ricer could be looked at as one who only concentrates on appearance modifications and buys cheap performance upgrades. Example: Aluminum spoilers, Graphics, Altezzas, Decals, cheap ass OBX mufflers. People should consider doing modifications that help the car function and forget about fashion, that's all. Trust me, your stock taillights are way better quality and better looking then any aftermarket tails. If you want to start modifying your car start with the basics- ex: intake, header, and exhaust. Welcome and if you need help don't be afraid to use the PM function. -Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensamblador Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 What's the PM function?, to make a quotation about the "ricers" term... there are some modifications you can make to your car appearance (in or out) which can be dissapointing for a high percenteage of the guys of this site, that would be considered to be a ricer here, I saw a few days ago a "jedi" honda which on my opinion was aufull but it is ok 'cause that guy could do whatever he wanted with his car, somebody call it "original" but as it was only my opinion that guy wasn't considered a ricer - you should check that car -... It's also my personal opinion that engineers from the honda or whatever industry it is, spent a lot of time designing these cars from the botton 'til the top and what we try to do is change all that cience to our believes... I got projector headlights for my 94 civic and besides they look better I bought them 'cause the light better dark roads, everything else is stock except the ride which I'm testing, but I guess it will remain unchanged unless I'm convinced that the car behavior would improve if I change something, some people here gives too much importance to that term... "ricer" who cares to be called like that anyway?, little fellows without selfsteem?, people who are in the need of being recognized and hugged by big groups?, respect is not about doing what others tell you what to do, respect is about conquering your ideas with arguments and reasons behind them... If you wanna convert your car on a "popeye" car, go ahead, do it, if you wanna keep it stock, then do it, but do it because you're convinced of it without nobody else guiding your decisions...

carta79 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 What's the PM function?.. This is the PM function, AKA private message. -----> Your still a newbie so I'll let it slide. Just kidding man, your a cool newbie though. Anyways, I know I have a tendacy to flame ricers on this board. That's just me, if I see a ricer on the street I'll flag them down and break their balls. It's all in good fun. My town is infested with ricers, so I've really grown to dislike them that's all. You don't know what it's like not being able to get sleep because some ricer is flying by with their fart cannon exhaust. It happens all day, all night, everyday.

..SSR.. Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Keep it stock. Rice is nasty. Anything after the TB or before the CAT will void the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carta79 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Keep it stock. Rice is nasty. Anything after the TB or before the CAT will void the warranty. Dam that's a good point about the warranty. I retract my previous statement about modifying her car. Keep it stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what it's like not being able to get sleep because some ricer is flying by with their fart cannon exhaust. It happens all day, all night, everyday. You're right Carta79, I don't know what's that about, from where I am we pay more attention on how a car looks like than how it sounds - specially with those exhausts systems which all of us find anoying -, we enjoy the natural sound of a V6 mustang GT engine running at high aceleration but no way we're gonna tolerate to be waked up on the morning for some stupid kiddo with an intentionally made hole on his exhaust... I agree with it, and also I'm suprised that old cars get warranties on the states, from where I am those cars are just luxury and you got to run with all the expenses... Let those exhausts systems die, let the anoying stuff to dissapear, let the smooth lines come and the good taste to survive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. I can only think of a few new cars that I like(besides ferrari, porsche, etc.). I love the styling of the CRX, G4 civic hatches, G2 integras, and G1 NSX.
