biased99 Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: What the deal with you fella and 'ricers' ? Fri, 15 August 2003 01:42 I think car modifying nowadays has gone more the way of "Style over subtance" (Rice) rather than years ago, when it was the other way 'round...You'd pull up at the lights next to a 60's model Valiant (complete with rust etc), only to be owned, as the 440cu in V8 disappeared into the distance... I'm not a modifier in the "true" sense of the word; I didn't do all the work on either of my cars...partially because I have very little time/patience or tools etc, and partially because I don't know a lot of people (personally, I mean) who could/would help on such a project. That said, I still drive 2 modified cars, and the "order of works" may give a clue as to my inclination in the Style Vs Subtance" debate... For the Corolla, we had a 100KW 4AG installed, along with extractors and exhaust and...that's it! It's still externally dead stock, and will remain so. The Cressida was a bit different, as we were doing this up as a car we could see clients in (for our Mortgage Brokerage business - Advertised now on these forums ), and also so we could do the long trips etc in it...It has nice suspension, 17" rims, BIG brakes, a decent stereo with good speakers, and amp and a sub...Oh, and a 1UZ-FE V8 up front. So, what was done first? That's right, the V8 conversion was the FIRST thing done to the car...In fact, we drove it, on it's first decent trip, to Bathurst last year. It had just had the V8 conversion finished and engineered and was still running around as an otherwise bog-standard car, including 15" rims. I see the the "rice mobiles" around, and am unimpressed...Putting stickers all over a car, and a loud exhaust, do NOT make a performance vehicle. IMHO, these are the hallmarks of someone who wishes he/she could own a performance car, but has neither the money/skills to do so. I saw a Lancer the other day, done the way I would do one of these...It was all white, and was lowered with a tasteful set of 17" rims, also in white. It had the clear tail-lights and a small factory spoiler on the boot...and that was it! Nice, clean and subtle - and importantly, not pretending to be something it wasn't... Just my 2c (Acually, more like $2, given the length of the post ) Sorry about said length... [Report message to a moderator]
