Let me clear something up for y'all, the Primeira is the Nissan version of the G20, the Silvia is the japanese name of the 200SX, and there is no and never has been a Sentra in any of the GT series! Whew, I love proving people wrong.
Now, the rice deal. First off, I don't call any cars rice. Do they look like food to you? Second, I see a ton of Neons and Focuses with the same stuff seen on Integras and Civics, would you call them rice? Their not made in Japan, but they look the same. And not all Japanese cars are made in Japan. So technicly, you can't call them all rice either. And if anyone puts more money into the car than the car is worth, they don't know what they're doing. I'm just glad that most Mazda owners are smart enough to know that putting stickers and ugly and useless body panels, putting a sewer size exust tip that sounds like a muffled bus, and tinting the windows black isn't a good investment. Instead, the Mazda owners buy performance mods to make their cars run better track times, and be fun to drive. Being in a lowered Civic DX(for those with less knowlage, the DX is the bottom of the line), trying to talk to the driver over the loud muffler, and being bounced around when the car goes over bumps doesn't do anything for me.
And then someone said that "rice rockets are small Japanese cars", that just hits close to home, I have a 323 and its a small car, but there's no way in hell you could call it rice.
And the Altezza lights, I don't think of them as rice, they came on the car in its OE form, and I think they look ok on the car.
And Miatas are Japanese, small, quick cars, but they're not rice.
You people make me sick.
And Brian, if you're thinking of getting an RX-7, let me know, I can tell you what to look for.
and please don't call the Se-R a "rice rocket".
So, you're saying that all those guys out there with $5k DSM's or 'Stangs with $7-10k invested in performance parts making the cars run 10's don't know what they're doing?
