really rice?
 

im j/w if a car is really rice when it has a body kit and a wing but goes fast(ie turbo,nitrous,etc.)? ive always wondered if some1 is a ricer but can back it up w/ power. thanks for the replies

Re:really rice?
 

Its all a matter of opinion

Re:really rice?
 

imo, a person who has a both rice and race oriented car, is still a ricer..

reason being, they have the fast ---- such as boost of nitrous just because the see it of F & F, not beacause they understand the concept of function over form.

my 0.02

Re:really rice?
 

i think rice and fast/power in the same sentence is an oxymoron.
Ricers usually don't know crap about engines except chrome plating ----, painting it bright colored w/ matching tubing, and having neon lights in the engine bay.

Re:really rice?
 

i think alot of people (not all) start out as ricers, they they "CONVERT" to racerISM. SO ALL THOUGH their cars may look all ricey, they are racers at heart.


sorry if im post whoring i just came back from the track, and drank 5 red bulls, now i cant sleep for ----.

Re:really rice?
 

"Rice" is an attitude my friend. If you have ever caught yourself saying "My stock civic with an intake and a muffler is fast" then your a ricer. If when you go to the races and you like to rev you engine at other cars as you pass them, you're a ------- faggot and a ricer. And if by putting a wing on your car adds performance, you are a ricer. You see, a wing is designed to keep the back end of a RWD car on the pavment for better traction. Your honda is not RWD; congradulations, you just put a parachute on the back of your car.

Body kits are a matter of opinion. I myself believe there is only one reason to get a new front end, and that is if you need something that will hold your massive intercooler.
Other people like them and i will not hold that agianst them.

Re:really rice?
 

thanks for the replies guys. i was always curious about that question but i guess its a matter of opinion. and that is true most ricers dont know anything about performance. they r just homo fucktards. :P

Re:really rice?
 

Well a fwd car also needs to keep the rear end down at high speeds for stability reasons, although not a single rice boy's car has enough power to go fast enough to have to worry about that.

Re:really rice?
 

IMO......
you are on crack. ok, how many FWD cars on any kind of race circuit, anything with NASA or SCCA (world challenge) race cars use wings for stability? none. even very very few RWD cars use wings. ever go to a drag race? how many wings do you see on a car that runs a 8 sec pass. no one around here uses them, or from home in Indiana. I have been to many many drag races, never once seen a wing on a camaro, nova, chevelle, mustang, mach1, whatever it is unless its factory.

the only reason I can think of any FWD car NEEDING a wing is if they are gonna do some bonniville speed racing where 200+ mph will be obtained. then maybe a wing might be necessary.

to anwser the ? on the toipc, I agree with paperchaser.

Re:really rice?
 

I saw this "Definition of Rice" on a kid's page on Cardomain, and its on mine as well.. Just a matter of opinion, its up to you if you believe it or not:

Although one statement like this:
" You can add a huge wing expensive body kit and NO engine mods and still not be rice. "
I can't exactly agree with :-\

MUST READ!!!

MY DEFINITION OF RICE:

Rice is not a car, its an attitude! The quality of the look of a car is an opinion, what you may not like someone else may like. A car with stickers and a huge wing isn't rice unless the driver talks like his car is the ---- and lies or exaggerates. You may not like the way it looks but maybe the driver does; he's the one that drives it... not you. If he thinks the big wing helps performance... thats not rice either... thats ignorance. I'll give you an example of rice and non-rice:

If you claim any car made in Japan and has been modified as rice or just any car modified in a similar fashion as rice...then these are examples of the difference between GOOD RICE AND BAD RICE!

RICE (bad rice):
Joe owns a Civic DX... he (his parents) bought it because of the Fast and the Furious and he couldn't afford (parents wouldnt pay) for a Supra. He buys an APC (A Piece of Crap) intake from Kragen and a muffler with a 5" exhaust tip (no catback). Joe thinks no more about his engine... believing that its fast, because he doesn't know the truth. He then spends $2000 dollars of his parents money to buy a black widow body kit. So far he's not rice. Then he gets rims, a HUGE wing, exterior graphics, and neons. (still not rice, may be ugly to you, or stupid to you, but still not rice) then he takes his Civic down to the local street racing gathering place... and starts talking ---- about how fast his car is. NOW HE IS RICE!!!! The key to this is the ---- talking not what he did to his car. You can also buy all the correct expensive good parts and still not put forced induction on, and still be a ricer if you talk ----.

MORE RICE (bad rice)
Chris buys a Honda Civic because he thought how cool Joe is in his Civic. He got the DX model because he thought. "All Civics are alike." He doesn't have much money and is quite lazy. He wants to lower hsi car but doesn't want to pay for coilovers...so he lowers it by cutting the springs... which he does by himself and which he does it wrong. He adds no camber kit and rides on the sides of his tires. Chris clears out his tail lights himself and does a shitty job. Chris decides to tacket the engine... so he buys a bunch of cheap APC stuff and puts them in wrong too. He then gets some cheap imitation rims (or chrome hub caps from walwart). He puts spacers on and has the tires 3 inches out of the wheel well... He gets his car painted bright baby blue and paints his interior bright orange. Chris buys a huge aluminum spoiler and installs it. He then adds a crap load of decals depicting "NOS" "Greddy" "Mugen" etc. All stuff he doesn't have... He gets the 6 inch exhaust tip (nothing else, just the tip)... and puts on about 4 sets of fog lights... also he gets the front bumber from a body kit and nothing else. He then proceeds to bounce his way down the street to the local racing gathering place. He flips on his neons that are half broken from scraping the ground... he is missing on rim because he got a flat from too much camber and lies and says its for racing. Chris begans talking mad ---- about how fast is car is.

Chris is RICE and has been rice from the very beginning... this is the worse kind of rice. Does a ---- load of "mods" and does them all wrong... and also has the nerve to talk ----. The difference between Chris and Joe is that Joe did all his "mods" correctly and Chris didn't.


NOT RICE (good rice):
John buys (himself) a Civic SI because he's on a budget and wants a bit of a challenge (not because of the Fast & the Furious). He would have got a older 70's era car, but didn't want to deal with the maintenence, and gas prices. He wanted the ease of a newer car. He goes and gets an AEM CAI with a bypass valve (so no water gets in); he can't afford a turbo yet. He gets some 4-2-1 headers and a full catback system exhaust. He lowers his car with shocks and coilovers and adds a camber kit since he doesn't want to ---- up his tires. He gets rims and a system, because he wants to hear some good music while out cruising. He keeps his factory wing because any bigger and it would be stupid. He does some other cosmetic stuff to the inside. He adds some cam gears and a fuel rail and what not. He takes his Civic down to the street racing gathering place and watches the real fast cars race. He challenges a few stock cars and slightly modified cars to race for fun. He doesn't talk all this hype about how fast his car is, because he knows it isnt V8 worthy. He thinks is car is nice and he likes it a lot. John is not rice nor is his car. He still could have added graphics and stickers for parts he has but still wouldn't be a ricer. He takes his Civic home and is impatient about saving money and splurges on brakes and cosmetic stuff (body kit, nice subtle graphics, neons, etc)... all the while not talking ----. THIS IS NOT A RICER NOR IS HIS CAR!!!!

NOT RICE, (good rice)
Bobby, buys a Civic SI not because he can't afford a Supra, but for the challenge of making a small economy car fast. He starts to build up his engine. He thinks about doing a b18c1 engine swap but doesn't see the worth...the b16a2 is fine. So he gets some Headers, forge pistons, a stronger gasket, better Intake Manifold, etc. He buys a catback system exhaust to handle the extra flow from the T4 turbo he bought. He gets all that in with the intercooler. He gets some good rims and tires. Of course he lowers it correctly and puts in some big breaks for added stopping power. After he has finished all this he realizes that he only spent about 10K after buying the car. He takes it to the shop and gets it dynoed. 320 HP!!! hes surprised but disappointed so he goes and gets a 50 shot a nitrous oxide. He then takes his car down to the street racing gathering place and challenges cars left and right. Why? because he has to break it the new stuff in. He toasts a few "ricers" and even a V8 Mustang, but loses to WS6 Firebird. So the next week he takes his Civic to the track and runs a 12.9; 1/4 mile... feeling satisfied he starts working on the interior/exterior and other cosmetic (body kit, neons, etc) details... knowing that his true intent was not to build a dragster but to build fast, fun, entertaining, and nice looking car.

BOBBY IS NOT RICE!... why? because he has the car to back up his trash talking.

True "Rice" is a state of mind or an attitude. You can add a huge wing expensive body kit and NO engine mods and still not be rice. You become rice when you act and talk as if your car is the fastest ---- in the world. When in reality you drive 1994 Honda Civic DX(106 HP) with no forced induction or any performance engine mods. With a bunch of fast looking parts.

Re:really rice?
 

i like the definition. I think its stated well, and means well.

my defenition of a ricer, someone who buys a honda because everyone else does. then wants to get the "B22 Si motor, and a 5 stage clutch, and twin nitrus set-up" yep heard it before.


I think rice is pure opinion as sinister said. someone may not be rice if they have a front bumper, lips, CF hood, nice paint, etc....

is www.teamrice.org rice. I dont think so. some cars have body kits, nice paint, wheels, etc,(some classify as rice) but these guys mod there ---- with practicle mods, and they have nice clean cars. i love the cars...

Re:really rice?
 

IMO, if you have a car with all kinds of stickers/fart can/air intake etc and a big wing... you are RICE. I dont care wether you talk ---- or not, youre still rice, the car isnt any faster. Pointless mods like big wings are rice, the illusion of going fast, same with a fart can on a stock civic dx or a neon...

Re:really rice?
 

I'd make a car look nice, but rice is a line that can't be crossed. It's a line that all of us know where it is, it's just hard to explain "the line".

The line is always shifting too. Because dirt bag kids may take a nice product and start putting it on ford escorts. After a while the product isn't considered "nice" anymore. That's the problem is too many people have hoopty's with one expensive something on it and ruin it for the rest. So until that ---- stops, I'll just spend on the motor. ;)

Re:really rice?
 

im with you on this one stealth... no body kit for me

Re:really rice?
 

if your going over like 125. you need downforce on the rear wheels or your car will start to get squirly even if its front wheel drive. you can also get wings with less drag to keep the "parachute" effct down and a larger downforce coefficient. witch is usualy lower than how much drag you get from the car. even if your car is RWD you dont need a wing unless your going 100+ or taking realy quick turns. in witch case you would need somthing to make downforce on your car even if you did have a front wheel drive.

and this kindove pisses me off. because i drive extremly fast in my car all the time. and i dont like how when im going 110+ my car gets unstable and feels floaty on the rear end. but i cant add a wing because then ill be a ricer :-\
but
imo body kits are gay. your cars not an evo or a skyline or anything else and they look like ---- after 3 months when the new style comes out. if you have the cash for style and power i think youd just go buy an STI insted of a civic in the first place.

Re:really rice?
 

anything that is form over function is rice in imports.

Re:really rice?
 

sinister is that ricer explination or ur cardomain site? i saw that somewhere but i havent seen it in a while...thanks for the replies guys. keep on postin ur opinons :)

sinistercrx quote "to lazy to sort throgh the post and delete what i dont want"

john is rice. john spent more on headers wing system cold air intake and brakes than a whole turbo system would cost..
MMM cam gears and fuel rail:X because you need a after market fuel rail with a stock engine right

Re:really rice?
 

wait whoa bobby is running headers and a t4?!

Re:really rice?
 

Damned right I'm too lazy. You'd be surprised at how many people don't think that its possible to create your own turbo system, its called ignorance not "rice" ::)

" So he gets some Headers, forge pistons, a stronger gasket, better Intake Manifold, etc. He buys a catback system exhaust to handle the extra flow from the T4 turbo he bought. "
LMFAO.. I didn't see that. Headers and a Turbo.. hmm.. I'll have to revise that ----. The person who wrote it was paying as much attention to it as me :P

Re:really rice?
 

Wait, so if you did the same thing to a Ford Escort it wouldn't be rice? :o ???

Yeah, its on there.. Needs revised as 3sge has pointed out. I think I got it from some guy named "redneckmobiles" on there, if I'm remembering correctly..

Re:really rice?
 

no i ment that I was to lazy to quote the whole thing and delete what i didint want out of the whole thing. sorry if it made me seem like an ass.

Re:really rice?
 

A wing in a FWD car has a lot of function if you are racing on a circuit....look at the BTCC most or all the cars on there are FWD and all have wings...
Like said before....it adds stability.
But i must say...on a daily driven or street car I wouldn't put a wing like that....there is no function.
If it came stock with a small wing...ok let it be, but other then that...no wing for me.
And a wing for drag racing??? There are wheelie bars to do the job, a wing would give to much drag for dragracing

Re:really rice?
 

when you got a time slip your not rice. until then, stay in the box.

Re:really rice?
 

I have a not-too gutted out, black primer-colored CRX with an LS motor, AEM CAI, and custom exhaust piping with Hi-Flo Cat, with N1 Exhaust. What rice am I? ???

Re:really rice?
 

I have a body kit. who cares. You can call me a ricer, I like the bling. You get more races if your rice, cause most people think you dont have crap in the car :-).

Re:really rice?
 

I was cruising down the highway the other day and came across this Eclipse with a crazy vinyl decal kit, carbon fiber Alteezas, oversized flashy rims, oversized flashy APC muffler, and 3 homosexual teenagers riding in it with the top down. I ------- smoked them in my POS Chevy S10. They tried to get all crazy and swoop on me to the next light, but the mighty mighty 4.3 V6 pwned them.

I'm getting sick of the word "rice". I prefer the word "homo" instead. That seems to fit better.

in my hometown rice is the new sleeper, b/c people have taken for granted that all that junk usually means the cars slow, theres a guy in my town with a 11sec civic with a wing altezzas, kit, etc, his turboed motor has dynoed right at 500hp, so he picks a race for $$$ with most any street car and whoops ass b/c the other people arent expecting it

the newer S10s with the 4.3l arent that bad. they're pretty getty... the 4.3l is a great engine. my boat has one :P

Re:really rice?
 

the fact that you drive a honda means you're half way to rice. Only reason why I would buy another honda is cause they are easy to turbo. Not like I'm going to add a big ass fart can on it and do a single wiper confersion.

No way am I a closet ricer ::)

I don't even like hondas... maybe at one point in time I thought about putting side marker signals on my car, but that's only cause I wanted that cool E-spec volvo look.
