just to prop up the club thing - toymods is a GREAT club and has a real close knit feel about it most of people ive met who are actual toymods members have been awesome to me - perfect example is when i came up to join on Dyno day - The guys like rod , anhar , danny , george and a few of the others who put up with me perstering them were very tolerant - and ive recieved so much useful info on my GT4 modifications , and previous to that , my ta22 mechanicals rebuild then i would have ben able to find out for myself .. Dont disrespect toymods - they ARE worth joining . As for rice - once again - its pure all show no go .. Some kits on cars look awesome , as do bigger wheels - suspension swaps etc , BUT a kid who goes and buys - for example - a lancer - spends 10 grand on a bodykit and wheels , Chops the springs - but leaves the rest of the suspension stock , then goes off and puts a cannon on the stock exhaust system , then expects it to be faster than a formula one car - and draw in more ladies than a pheremone fight in a diamond ring factory is a ricer .. they use the car as a fashion extension . A GENUINE enthusiast will build up their car - with similar kits + wheels etc BUT they also do things like rebuilding or replacing the motor for more performance or drivability , swapping the FULL exhaust system to actually utilise flow benifits , puts on an air induction that Efficiently draws in COLD air into the motor to improve power + so on , then goes on to tweak the suspension to handle BETTER than the stock factory example using PROPER lowered springs with proper sport's type suspension components , resulting in a car that looks better , drives better , utilises its powerband more efficiently and that can be. either that or they will lovingly restore to original or as near to it as possible creating rolling works of art of which both can be THOROUGHLY enjoyed as a daily driver/weekend fun toy etc .. they will also join clubs like toymods to talk about and enjoy their cars and hobby with others who have similar interests.. That in my oppinion distances most of us here on this forum from the " ricer " image A hoon on the other hand IMHO will go out - just to do doughnuts and cause trouble on the roads , endangering other people on the roads at the same time - illegal Street drifters/drag racers and louts all fit into this category - if you want to go and create havoc and slip slide drag or fuck about - theres a lovely safe place for it called a RACE TRACK!..theres special people there called medics who can repair you if you screw up - and you dont take other innocent drivers with you to a painful dead type place [Report message to a moderator]
