The madness has to stop.
Wouldn't a ricer be a car from japan. Right?!?
Rice, like from japan.
Like nissan from japan. I mean although I don't consider myself a "ricer," my car is from japan and thus rice powered no?
Or am I missing something. Is there a group out there that call themselves ricers because they drive civics that have altezza lights?
the Poll is...
Nissans are just as much rice as a honda --- yeah or neah
ps. no offense to nissan owners or anything, just curious as to what you guys are really thinking
pps. i really do not like civics with altezzas. its a honda not a toyota you fool.

there is no rice per se froma name brand view. Hondas civics arent from the factory as tuner cars. Preludes are fairly quick from the factory. Point is, they dont come from teh factory "riced out". I have seen some RICED out Nissans. Go to Altimas.net. You will see some rice by most definitions. To me, if you liek a big *** double decker wing on YOUR car go ahead and to say anything about ALtezzas...LOL okay. TECHNICALLY SR20's belong in SILIVIA's, which we dont have. RB's belong in Skylines, which we do not have. Everyone just assumes because you drive a honda, you are rice. That is why my Civic will be a sleeper, but I would love nothing else than to boost my Civic, and throw everything rice on it and destroy cars at the track. AWWW THAT would be awesome

Rice is an over used term. Rice was used by the domestic crowd to define a Japanese car. Why do they call them Rice rockets or ricer burners.
Well, when people started doing the bad taste in cars (before the euro lights and big wings) the domestic crowd started coming up with some rice pages. this is where people started using the word "rice" to define anything they dont like.
GTune - You are right. It should stop, but believe it or not, the "rice" threads are found in every forum and differs in these forums.
People define FF hondas as rice, some say rwd car owners that associate with drifting (because its getting big) as rice.and it goes from every make and model car. People are bias from what they have.

thanks buud, but its a poll. opinion poll. I want to see what people think about the subject. you obviously are sick of it, as I am. the point of the poll is to really see why some think they are better than others at what I don't know. I can tune my car well, but there will always be someone better. The point is to be satisfied with what you can accomplish, and possibly laugh at what others may think is an acomplishment and to admire those who have attained realistic goals.

Someone already mentioned it, but Rice was originally used in context of all japanese cars.
Over the years, as "suping" up your import became more of a mainstream nonchalant hobby as opposed to an enthusiast driven love, the term "Rice" was adopted by import guys to describe the "wannabe's."
So nowadays, it's GENERALLY used to describe any sort of cheap, poorly made, second hand modification, that does nothing for performance, or is designed to DECEIVE you into thinking the car can perform, when it cannot.
i.e. Super wings, superflous stickers ( not sponsor stickers, which are a must for those that are sponsored ), Painting your brake calipers, Super loud exhaust with only the intent to make noise... etc. You get the idea.
Lot's of people who got into modifying imports after the culture has already been established for awhile, use the term "RICE" way to loosely. Everytim they see something they don't like, they start yelling rice.
BY THE WAY.. the amount of hp a car has doesn't always give the car default " Non rice " status.
EX. The Ferrari on BEATERZ.com with a porsche TURBO badge. Lol. Definately " Rice" . ( of the european blend )

riceburners, ricer......kinda like the "N" word one day it'll be cool to be a ricer....oh wait, it is....as much as you hate it, its the cool thing for youngins to do. Japenese cars are reliable,nice, cheap, and cheap to make psuedo-faster, hence young drivers buying them like a 2$ hooker on a .25 cent special but, they need some work to actually be fast...thats when you step out of the ricer profile and into.......an actual car junkie/buff/enthusiast.
In response to Wuss,
I only have one problem with your post.........I disagree that painting your calipers is considered rice. I just installed a 300zx conversion on my S13. Rebuilt calipers on new, cross-drilled rotors with braided steel lines. The rear brakes are stock S13's but I rebuilt the calipers, added cross-drilled rotors and steel lines.
My car is a gloss black coupe that, aside from the brakes, looks bone stock. I think that the yellow calipers add to the car, rather than detract. In my defense, this little bit of "show" does wonders for the car and looks far better than a goofy body kit and big wing ever could........
I guess what I'm getting at is that everyone has their own opinion of what rice is. I would say that if it's tasteful than it isn't rice, but who is to say what tasteful is? Apparently my painted calipers are rice to some, but not all...........
Lol. I love posts like this. I'm sure that most people would agree with me that "blingin' on 18's" in a stock civic sedan with painted rear drum brakes is probably considered rice.

no ,not everyone begins it that way, just right now its the trend.nnkfws333 wrote:Do you think this is true? Everyone begins there car journey with the ricer scene?
I personally hate the term "ricer" it's pretty gay, and is generally used by ricer's themselves. it also is a little derogatory to the asain ethnicity... something ugly is "riced out"
