^ thats just wrong

I'm not a great fan of ricing, but i chose the focus simply because you can stick a V8, sound system etc in the back :D
 
It really depends on how far you intend to go. There is also the issue of what your intended purpose is.

Is this going to be a show car? daily driver? weekend racer?

If you're doing a show car you want something that will stand out, and be different for the judges. For that purpose, I would say 350Z. Simply, there aren't that many of them out there yet. Or you could find a 240 or 280 and do some "old school" stuff.

Now if you're doing a daily driver, and you just want a comfy, moderately fast car, that also happens to look good.
Most anything on that list would make a good, reliable daily driver. I tend to lean toward the Evo, and Impreza. But they're both big enough to cart your crew around for that utility (to please the wife/girlfriend). They also ain't no joke in the power dept. (to please you).

Yeah. But there is a difference between 'ricing' and modifying. I would definitely be making changes to a 3rd Gen. But nothing to spacifically change its appearance. Maybe a custom paint job. I drove one once that was black with tan stripes. Absolutely beautiful. I would probably do dark red with gray/silver stripes or the opposite. I'd like that on just about any car.
 
sounds like a sweet car, ive never driven a 3rd gen, but i have driven 1st and 2nd gens.

I could say my car has a custom paint job. The faded sunset red rx-7 with purple fenders :)
 
The best thing for "ricing" would be a large manual on "How not to completely **** up a car", a good smack round the back of the head, a girlfriend and several pounds of high explosive.
 
I chose the civic for two reasons
1) so no one harms one of the real cars(skyline,supra rx7,etc.)
2)all those aftermarket parts make it real easy

The integral word in my post is most.

I also do not condone "ricing" in any sense. But If you search it out, you will note that I have stated, more than once, that I believe "rice" is more of an attitude, than what is actually done to the car.
That attitude, includes thinking your lame car, is faster because of the fart can exhaust, and "makeshift picnic table" wing hanging off its butt.
Lest I forget, there's also the stereo components that are worth more than the car, and loud enough that you have blood running out of your ears, and windows blowing out thru the 'hood.

Mods done well, and purposefully, (not some hodge-podge of crap) are okay.
 
Are there really people dumb enough to rice out the Eunos Roadster? The Eunos was the luxury version of the car, the regular Roadster is a lot cheaper.

The Miata as a whole generally looks like crap with exterior mods.

My vote: Honda Civic HX and DX, or any of the other lower line models. Especially automatics with hubcaps.

I don't know... I quite liked the Mazdaspeed A-spec from GT2.
 
BMW 3 series does not belong in tha category in any way, first off its german kinda hard to bolt japanese parts on to german engineering, its actuly kinda hard to bolt german parts on to german engineering. And Rice and i define it stands for something thats supposed to Be fast, in the owners mind, yet its not posibly fast with its few thousand dollar body kit that does nothing but spoil the air flow, and if anything make the car unstable at speed since maybe body kits have lips and **** that would actully create lift. Also any car that has a Muffle thats more than 3" in diameter gets into the elimination round, also if it has Neon lights or a LCD/DVD Screen in it anywhere (who the hell watches TV when they are driving? I know i dont want to be near anyone on teh road that has a tv in thier car, they should be driving not watching a movie) Also any gaming systems automatically qualify it as a Ricer, Any subwoofer that is not properlly equalized with the rest of the sound qualifies you as a ricer. I dont need to hear your bass, I know its in there I dont want to hear your body panels shake its retarded and subwoofers are too heavy, besides you shouldnt be listening to music that loud anyway you should be listening to your car, and performance driver knows that. Also If your call wheels "Rims" you classify as a tool, Rims are the outside edge of a wheel also known as lip. Also if you use NOS you are a RICER, NOS not only is the worst thing you could do to an engine but it also shows how much of a girl you are, you need the hell of a fuel to go fast. The only people that should use NOS are the ones that have replaced thier Pistons, Valves, Cam Belt with a Chain, Block, Crankshaft with ones that will withstand the high temperatures also known as race parts since they are able to handle the heat generated by High Octane Fuels like 115 and 108. Also if your car has chrome wheels, anyone looking for performance knows Chrome is weak, heavy and over priced its only a plating but still heavy. If your wheels Spin on a bearing = ricer, or if you replaced your tail lights or head lights with some clear euro hell, taillights dont make you go faster, buy something thats not useless. Same with shift knobs, dont buy one unless you need one, that means if your last one broke in half than you can buy one. Also do not call your car fast unless you know it is for a fact, do not talk about horsepower of your car unless you have taken it to a dyno, adding an airfilter doesnt give you mroe HP you can BUY HP, you have to buy parts that allow the engine to generate more hp. Dont do burnouts in front wheel drive cars it looks retarded, and also dont do burnouts in rear wheel drive cars that dont have a LSD or Locked Differential. Cause 1 wheel spinning looks equally retarded. Dont do burnouts, it only demonstrated that your a tool and you can piss your money away on tires (maybe this explains why people buy spares as the actual wheel) If you must spin your tires, do it in 2nd or 3rd gear and dont drop the clutch then tell me about it or do donuts/circles whatever you like to call them.

I guess now that god has laid his opinion down we should abide by it. :rolleyes:

You can sit there and piss and moan like an inconsiderate prick, or you can shut up (this goes for the rest of you too) and realize that it doesn't matter what you say, people are going to do what they want to do to their cars.

Who cares if someone has stupid stickers, who cares if they have neon lights, who cares about stupid wings?

It’s their car! Your not the one driving it, so relax already.

Not every chick can be a supermodel, but they all put on makeup and nice clothes to try and look like one even if they end up still looking like a turd. Not everyone can afford a sports car, but they mod up their regular cars in an attempt to make their car look better even if it is still going to look like a turd.

Who are you to take that from them? Who are you to say what they can and can't do to their own car?

If you don't like it, tough ****. Once again I will say IT'S THEIR CAR, not yours.

They paid the thousands of dollars for it; they can do with it what they like.

If you don't like rice, then don't rice out your car. But some people do like it and that's their choice.

Give it a break already.
