Ugh!!! Stop the madness!! That poor RX-7! They're ruining my favourite car!!
 
The front looks decent but the back is meh....and sweet lord that's some extreme deep dishness
 
Veilside's bodykit "designers" need to be rounded up and run over with this:

Edit: Spare a thought for the engineers tho..."holy mother of crap...THIS is an Rx7? We need atleast 1000hp so it'll be long gone by the time people see the ugly..."
 
Holy crap dude! I think I'm going to cry or something.
 
AGH!!!

The RX-7 is such a beautiful car! Why mess with success? Veilside's designers are a little over confident... I second the runem over idea. But run em over with a GMC cabover powered by the 702 V12. :dopey: That.. would leave a mark.


I didn't think it was possible to uglify an already ugly ducling... I guess they might be somewhat skilled, at least in beating the already battered H2 even more with the ugly stick.
 
Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

I don't think that RX-7 body kit look too bad. Its ok. :O 👍

We should all get ready to see more ricers and accidents being together again when this movie comes out. :indiff:
 
The Veilside Fortune kit for the FD? Rice? Please. :rolleyes:

Tack an unpainted Veilside kit onto a rusty, base-model Civic, and then you've got rice.

If a car is clean and well-built, even if you don't like it, and even if it's slow, it's just a show car.
If a car is fast, even if you don't like how it looks, it's still a performance car.

The term "rice" only applies when a "tricked out" car fails to do either of the above.

True that...not really rice. Just a bunch of cars which take ugly to the point of making you want to claw your eyeballs out so you don't have to see them.

And, to be perfectly honest, I find show cars to be a waste of time, money and effort. Why own a car you're afraid to drive? Isn't that the point of automobiles? But thats just me...
 
I used to be a fan of the older VeilSide designs, but these Majesty and Fortune kits I don't like at all.



I think there was a Majest Fortune-kitted NSX for sale here in Sweden a while ago... They had not done anything with the engine.
 
I can't believe I got turned away from the casting call for the movie cuz my car wasn't "Rice" enough. I thought all you need just a mismatch bodykit, "Lambo" doors, a crazy drop with some 20s, 2 12s in the trunk with neons all over the car, a pair of racing seats(I'm still using stock seatbelts though), carbon fiber interior parts, and just a HKS muffler replacing the stock one, to get into the movie. I haven't even touched the engine, it still has the rusted looking stock exhaust manifold so when they asked I refused to open the hood. Boycott the movie ya'll. :sly:

Anyways, I think Wolfe's definition of rice is correctly stated, and that's how I view "tuned" import cars. I used to say all kinds of cars were rice left and right back then but it was that they were just for show, which is why you'd never really see them raced. Not a lot have the performance to match with their looks which is sad. I really appreciate the cars that carry a clean look with none of the vinyls and have the performance to back it up.

Pfft, been there, done that. No one just understands the term anymore.

So a bodykit is never, ever, ever a good thing? :indiff:

well, there is some exception. But bodykits on Civic's, its ugly now, the era is over. Touring bodykits are aight.

I pretty much talk about the aesthetic bodykits with 1000000000 curves in it. Come ooooon, a lip does the job so weeeeeeeell...

Those are all purpose-built race cars. If you saw cars that looked like that on the street, it would be gag-inducing. "Bodykits" on race cars are integrated into the design as a functional unit. Bodykits on street cars are usually a mis-matched afterthought. Cars with a top speed of 115 mph do not need a rear diffuser, or a bumper that looks like one.

Pfft, you've obviously not done your research very well...here are some aspects you need to work on..

Body kit:yes, but for maximum effect, must be primered or painted in a completely different colour.

Lambo doors: Good call.

20 inch wheels: Get real, any car with wheels that small don't stand a chance. I mean, you might even get some average ride quality...it's nor M@D TYT3 if you don't climb out straight into a wheelchair...

2*12's: This is probably your biggest mistake. You need atleast 8, if they're 12s, to produce enough bass to give your opponent in the street quarter mile race a reason to ph3ar you and your modzzz.

Racing Seats: Good, but you don't specify if the seatbelts have NOS or MOMO pads on them. Important.

Carbon Fibre, neons and HKS muffler: Good, though the muffler would be better if it was a genuine JDM spec one.

Correct these problems, and chrome everything in the engine bay (modifying anything is upto you, but keep in mind a pod filter makes your car unbeatable). And you don't even mention gauges. You need a 5-inch (or bigger) tacho, as well as Air Temp., Water Temp., Oil Temp., Boost, Nitrous, Oil pressure and blood pressure gauges.

Then, you will have a truly amazing pice of s**t...i mean, art.

Or you could go out and buy a decent car. Your Call.
 
^I'm going to make some paper maché body kits, and spraypaint some discharged fire extinguishers blue.

If I saw an M3 GTR, C5R, or JGTC NSX on the street, I doubt I'd gag... :drool:

In any case, you missed my point. You're saying that gaudy/ugly bodykits on slow cars are bad. I'm saying that not all bodykits are bad, and provided examples of good ones.

None of those examples are slow cars.

If someone put the wide fenders of the M3-GTR on his 318, or a C5-R wing on a street Vette, it would look incredibly stupid, and serve no functional purpose whatsoever. THOSE are the body kits I am against.

I wasn't referring to you referring to those cars. :sly:

Exactly. You don't like bodykits on cars that don't deserve them, and I was saying to MugenVTEC that not all bodykits are bad.

We're arguing with each other, when in fact we're talking about two different things. :lol:
 
Anyone seen the storyline yet?

Don't. This movie follows the same situation as the 1st one except its just chopped up a bit and changed.

Here, I'll put it into good perspective.

Movie
Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor. But it doesn’t take long for him to find some action when a fellow American buddy, Twinkie, introduces him to the underground world of drift racing. Sean’s simple drag racing gets replaced by a rubber-burning, automotive art form—with an exhilarating balance of speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of hairpin turns and switchbacks. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the “Drift King,” a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean’s loss comes at a high price tag when he’s forced to work off the debt under the thumb of ex-pat, Han. Han soon welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduces him to the real principles of drifting. But when Sean falls for D.K.’s girlfriend, Neela, an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with a high stakes face off.

Brian from #1

Movie
it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities
Just chopped up a bit from #1

Movie
To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo.
Same thing. #1=dealed with government officials after arrest.

Movie
foreign customs and codes of honor
Big whoop. Same thing.
Vin had the same crap with his gang.

Sound familiar?

Where have I seen this before?

Oh yeah, when Brian fell for Vin's sister, and at the end, raced a "battle."


This movie is #1, just rearranged to get a "better" storyline around drifting.

Save your money and make this a rent. The storyline gives it all away as a pretty much....remade Fast & Furious 1.

Even better, take said money and rent something better.

Like Thomas the tank engine.
 
If you're going to rent any of the F&F movies, you might as well just use that money for toilet paper.
 
Sadly even though the F&F series is obviously horrible I still feel as a car nut I MUST have it in my DVD collection (used prices of course)... :grumpy: I will not lower my standards down to Torque or Biker boyz though. :dopey:
