But he didn't clarify either. I agree with his idea of rice, to a point, except he just left out a few things, that might confuse some. Which I intern clarified. ;)

Also, simple is not always the best explanation. Some vague ideas like "rice" need to be more fleshed out so people get a clearer description. Not just any car that is slow, and made to look fast is rice, That's just silly. It's the lack of tuning knowledge, and complete lack of style that makes one a ricer.;)

I agree with Klos's definition. Just because a car is all show and no go doesn't make it rice, what makes a car rice is if it is made to look very fast, but isn't fast. For some examples:

Exhibit A: Honda Civic with stock engine, performance exhaust, intake, big wing, body kits, expensive paint, perfect interior, lots of shiny stuff. This is not a rice car, it's a show car. There's a difference.

Exhibit B: Honda Accord with Z3 fenders, huge wing, unpainted body kits, cat-back exhaust that leaks at the flange so it sounds like it's farting, 15 stickers for performance parts it doesn't have. This car is a rice car, no doubt about it. Don't even need to see inside.

Exhibit C: Chevy Cavalier lowered to the ground with ground effects and nasty leaky cat-back exhaust and a huge wing. This car is not Japanese but it's still a rice car. Riceboy is not racist, and doesn't categorize a certain ethnic origin. A riceboy can drive a Honda, a Ford, or even a BMW.

Riceboys are weak-minded and have low self confidence, that is why they feel they need a fast-looking car to fit into some sort of clique. They're posers, but a certain type of really pathetic poser. They park their car and lean on the hood and talk about this WRX they were whoopin on yesterday. They're the ones you see sizing you up at the light trying to figure out if there's any chance you'll beat them (in which case they won't race, or will dump the clutch hard and then back off as soon as you start to pull on them and say "I wasn't racing!")
 
There is NO real definetition (Thats spelled wrong..) for the term 'rice', its all by personal thoughts..
 
You agree with Klos but everything you typed up agrees with me.

Also, just cause it looks fast but isn't doesn't make it a ricer either. Not all race cars are all that fast yet they still look like race cars. So does that make them ricers?
 
maybe this can help define rice...

I would Just like to know what race cars you are talking about.
Just like to know.:)
 
I hate it when people say rice or ricer thats immature. Using the term rice or ricer to a car or the person who own the car... i dont believe in all this rice thing. I think that cars can be ugly and too overdone but i would NEVER use the word rice and ricers. peoples definition of rice is a guy who make his car seem fast but is slow or whatever i dont believe in that... i think they are dumb idiots but i dont believe in word ricers or rice... what really get me piss is when someone who love domestic cars and hate japanese imports call every japanese cars ricerockets... when it can be stock they dont care.. i get piss off easily.

This is my point of view.

No, I'm saying a Civic that has a whole 200hp doesnt need a Spoiler. Its there to make his car looks fast, not provide downforce.

actually, what model Civic. some arepretty light and if it is lightened even more than factory, with 200whp, he might actually need that wing. cause that is where the power to weight ratio come into play. From what I understand, the EG6 Civic is pretty light and can be even lighter. so you have to be spefic with wht model and if this is a show car or a car used for racing. because you never really can tell what the car is used for unless you talk to the driver. peace.
 
well actually that downforce would be helpful on a 90HP civic, let alone a 200HP one, the fact that the downforce adds to breaking stability, makes it an improvement to any car.

As I have said several times Rice is not about the stuff hanging off of your car. IMHO, and backed up by the last paragraph of pergatory's post, Rice is all about ATTITUDE.
Exhibits B and C above, are about shoddy workmanship, and a "I wanna have the biggest wing on my block attitude". Just make sure it's on level so we can use it for the serving table at the next pot-luck.

If you have a nice modified car and you roll thru my neighborhood, with your stereo at a reasonable volume you are not a ricer.
If you have a poorly fitted fart-can exhaust, 17-inch wheels that can only be rotated with the car at "redline". And your stereo is worth more than the car it's in and loud enough to wake my dead father 3 states away... And you come thru my neighborhood with that loud-ass car at twice the posted speed limit, scaring the dogs in the neighborhood with the noise and causing the parents to rush out of the house or off of the porch to snatch up their curtain-climbers lest they be hit by you and your "car", You just might be "rice." In fact you may be the poster child for "rice."
Funny thing, in my day we just called them A**holes.

:lol: A** holes :lol: so true
 
Back when i still had my 94 Integra RS (white) lowered with Konig rims. I was driving on a 2 lane street around 35-40 mph and this chubby dude with a red GSR 3 car lengths from behind comes screaming pedal to the metal up next to me. i was like WTF?! :odd: there was traffic and a stop light ahead of us. He kept his car in 2nd gear revving and revving hard.. i was like hell to the no i aint gonna race so i waved my hand, made a right turn and he flipped the birdy at me:rolleyes:

now that's a ricer. his car looked stock too.

I agree. I have seen this many times, for example, in the photoshop forum, where I usually call almost every entry in a PSC a riced up thing. and everyone jumps at me saying that it aint rice. well, for me something that has a body kit, ANY kind of body kit, any whacky paint, anything that really affects how the car looks, except for some wheels, is rice. even if it is a carbon fiber lip. even if it is a subtle wing. even if it is a cool looking fascia. its riced. good (the mentioned CF lip) or badly riced (as those who put 45 air intakes on the car and a snowplow on its front), it still is. I remember a red acura integra posted by punk rock some time ago. it had red wheels and a JDM frontend conversion. nothing that disturbed its body. and I tell you, nothing. Oh my god. altough I dont really am into imports, that car was incredible. subtle as hell, but looked awesome. its a testament as how the right stance and set of wheels can make a car. of course it had a modded engine and interior, but on the exterior, it had nothing. I think that rice is only on the exterior (and on the sound system. Im on that with Gil) because a honda can have 500hp but have a snowplow as a front fascia and being painted puke green with blue 1337 flames. get that honda to good hands, take off the snowplow, wingS, widebodykit, headlam covers, clear tailamps, stupid rear bumper, cofee can exhaust, 19 inch chromed Niche wheels, neon illumination, 200 kg of stereo system, yellow interior, billet steering wheel, air suspension, and get in some real suspension, lowered maybe an inch, put on some mugen wheels, repaint the car a good solid color, and maybe hint at the power of the car by opening a round hole in the bumper so the turbo will breathe and at the same time will be seen. or go sleepy and dont show it at all. add a LSD, a good, non-restrictive exhaust system, replace the interior with factory seats and some spoon products, and that is all, a cool ****ing import that even I would drive. apply this to every car that is "riced" and you will solve the problem.

I am also with gil in the a**hole stuff, but I prefer to call them a ricer a**hole.

Just go to Anti-Rice.com to see what ricers really are. It is despicable (sp?) :yuck:

The basic theory behind that site is a southern white punk, who has some basic knowledge as to what a computer is, so he made a site based on his views as to what a car other then some american-based car is when modified. That site has no value or pertinance to this discussion. I mark it under, "blatantly stupid".

If you need proof, go to his first set of photos and look for an orange Integra. His definition of that car does not include the fact that it the car is worth more than his life and his pathetic website.

No, there's a fundamental difference. You are saying that ricers just have different goals, they are into looks instead of performance. I'm saying they're not into looks, they're into performance, but they don't have the knowledge or experience to back them up so they just make themselves look like they are into performance.
