Re: is this rice?
 

if the the gauges all have a specific use/purpos its not rice, but if the are there for looks its rice, the wing looks like ass, whats that remote on the steering wheel?

edit: as a matter of fact yes its rice. all them damn der stickers on them doors are you getting paid for them?

Re: is this rice?
 

;DDunt tell me dats ur car....

Re: is this rice?
 

it looks German. a tow hook on it with big plates, they have trailer tow hooks on everything here

Re: is this rice?
 

hahah... no... not mine. It's one of our reader's cars, we featured it in our 'Readers Rides' section in our magazine (www.speednsound.co.za). Just got a whole lot of emails from other readers moaning that we featured it.... but I think we just put it in to be 'controversial'.

Edit: It's South African

Cheap & Fast = Not reliable.
Fast & Reliable = Not cheap.
Cheap & Reliable = Not fast.
BAD TRADER : shortkj (owes me 1500 / 4x DSM 450's)

this is not true.

my car is cheap, i have about $2500 into the entire car, including the car with a turbo kit which i put together, and i would consider it fast on the street for what it is, and i trust it to take me anywhere.


among the rice....if it doesnt have a purpose, its rice. everyone has there own definition of rice. I have been called rice, to me my car is as far from rice as it comes, everything on the car is functional.

but the peorson that called me a ricer, was as riced out as they come IMO. unpainted body kit, wing, big wheels, dual exhaust...that to me is rice. to that "ricer", he thinks he has an extremly aero dynamic car.

to each his own. ;)

Re: is this rice?
 

About the comment on my sig.: I totally agree with my statement, the thing is, it depends on what your definition of 'cheap' is... cos someone earning 10k/m versus someone earning 2k/m will definitely have different opinions. Btw, whats the ave. salary in the states?

About the rice thing: That's what I hate, everyone has their own opinion, they should list it in the Oxford dictionary so no-one's confused in the future. Where can I see a pic of your car jr?

this is mine:

as for interior, its 100% stock with the exception of a short shifter, and a boost gauge.
my car is 100% ghetto and its getting real old real quick. my next project will be done 100% correct and 100% neat.

wow I wasn't expecting something like that from South Africa :o

:P no offense, I just really didn't :D Car looks real good man. When your car has a nice glossy paint job, the 'euro' clear corners and all that really come together quite nicely. I'm loving your choice of color, looks fantastic! And a four door... sweet. :)

Re: is this rice?
 

I'll give it a few point for being old skool, but all the rest is RICE

wow that is very clean, i like it :)

Re: is this rice?
 

Ha ha ha..... yes that is a fine example of the rare confused foreign rice thought to be extinct about 1and a half after the fast and the furious came out but made a huge comeback when 2fast 2 furious went overseas.

Re: is this rice?
 

WTF is the purpose for a trailer hitch on that pos? :'(

Re: is this rice?
 

Probably cause it breaks down a lot... :P

Re: is this rice?
 

Agreed. Franknstein, thats a beautiful car :o

But yeah, that car looks rice to me.

Re: is this rice?
 

most cars with clear corners looks like ----, primered, big wing, missing peices, etc - that ---- is CLEAN

Re: is this rice?
 

nice 4 door, but, whats under the hood...... :-X

Re: is this rice?
 

Dude, it's probably a SOHC...

Re: is this rice?
 

your point? BBKA broke into teh 12's on his stock D16Z6 at like 12 psi. SOHC are no joke.

car looks good as ---- 8)

Re: is this rice?
 

yeah they kinda of are a joke, bbka is a rare example, show me more that consistently run that fast.. i dont see them....

ha\ving both motors boosted, i can honestly say sohc motors are a lame joke

Re: is this rice?
 

That ---- is clean....But im with teh hotrex on this one, Whats under that hood?

Re: is this rice?
 

C'mon! Stock at 12psi's? Yeah, that MIGHT not blow up... ::)

Re: is this rice?
 

That thing looks like something from Transformers..

definitely more than meets the eye..P.O.S. in disguise...

pos=piece of ----...

Re: is this rice?
 

lol......................Your a llama

Re: is this rice?
 

Thanks for the comments, I've basically just finished the exterior and interior, and working on the motor at the moment, it has a D16A7 in at the moment, and I have a ZC in the garage, along with a T25 and a few bits and pieces, going to be building my HMT kit this year (with a little help on the Uberdata side). Welding the manifold this month sometime.

Re: is this rice?
 

I have ---- in my car that most will consider rice, but who cares, I have 4 gauges that serves a very important purpose, I aftermarket seats, and steering wheel, but thats, for my taste plus you are required to have a atleast a 4 point harness to race on a track in Germany. the body just a lip kit/sideskirts. the engine as clean as they gets red wires, steel braided lines. I've been called a ricer for that, but by who? someone with 17 wheels a bunch of stickers on a slow ass neon.

Re: is this rice?
 

and its not like he daily drives it at 12psi...but pat's turbo sohc is nothin to laugh at deffinatly a rare exception, i've rode in it and i've seen him race, its a very fast car considering its sohc
