I don't know why people get offended by it, if people add body kits & big wings & massive tips & neons etc for their own pleasure/amusement whatever, then why worry about what other people think?
Why be annoyed or dissapointed by other people having different taste?
This's something I've said before on these forums, if we all had the exact same attitudes & opinions on everything, we'd all be driving around in identicle bright orange RA-23 celicas, and that wouldn't be much fun would it?

I think i'll sum up what i have to say in two sentences.
Joel and Rod have struck a nugget of truth, and i agree 100% with their view as would almost any Toymods Financial Club Member (generally speaking).
Rice is just another person's big single turbo, HKS manifold, aftermarket ECU, 1g-gte conversion or hilux diff upgrade - just another way of doing what they want to their car.

Well I think there is a little ricer in every one of us....come on search your inner self, you know he wants to get out and make your car beautiful
Me, well where does the list start, It would have to be the immitation Momo shift knob and wheel, That wood look can be pretty slippery with sweaty palms (   ) but it looks cool with the dash.
Oh and dont forget how I swapped the 14in ROH allows for some sexy 16in Borbet copies. They are a fair bit heavier but look fantastic.
And yes I do drive a mass produced Japanese built 4 banger. I guess I should go and hang my head in shame.
Sorry Rod but I just had to get another Members view on this thread, It was getting sooooooooo interesting. Maybe we should move it to the Tech section

Ahh but the car also has a shit hot 2tg turbo on the way , a custom gearbox setup , a swapped diff and has the Go to match the looks rod ( when the motor ever gets done ) If you consider your car as ricey - im sorry rod , but ill have to confiscate it for the greater good of the toymods community * chuckle *
|
So does this mean that some1 can do whatever they want to their car within reason and it wont be labeled "rice" as long as they have a tough engine on the cards as well. If this be the case then just by looking at a car in the street, how would you be able to tell if it doesnt have the go to match the looks or if the person has a conversion planned???

Well, I think its also in attitude as well, cause you could be driving around in a 'non-rice' car but your attitude would make it rice, ie. thinking that your lancer with a R Evolution kit on it could take on say an SS commonwhore.
Note: I don't think the Lancer R-Evolution is rice, but the attitude of the driver could make it rice. I do think its stupid however, as the only lancer's imho that should have kits on them are the proper Evo's

Well, i'm so stoked that so many people replied to a somewhat touchy subject, but after reading half the replies i know the diff between a ricer and performance, so those japanese, what are they classed as, like after reading ALL the posts (fark there was a lot) its clear that to not be a ricer go performance and fark the rest, so what about those Jap's, the shit they do to car performance wise is outrageous, yet everything you said about being a ricer, they incorporate onto there car as well, so are they a hybrid of performance-ricer ?
But till, i see nothing wrong with shoving neon lights under or in the car, having accessories, or making my car look a little better, so what if i don't go all out for an engine conversion, i don't care thats my business, i prefer BIG audio systems then going fast, if i wanted a fast car to hoon in i would buy a fast car.
Oh well, doesn't worry me, i still love my toyota ^^*

funnily enough, I don't actually mind the look of those blatently over the top vans. Probably because they make no apologies about what they are designed for, and have no intention of setting the drag strip alight. I wouldn't cruise around town in one, and def not over any speedbumps but for what they are, they are pretty cool. Almost like a modern day japanese sandman

Isnt it more about - "Its not how you stand next to your car... Its how you race / drive it..."
Where im from RICE is... A: Standing in a car park with mummy or daddys daily driver or B: Driving like a dick head (read: racing in daylight, suburban streets, between red lights etc.)

Now I REALLY couldnt be bothered reading this whole thread. Really way too long, but this is my view.
Each to his own I say. If "ricer boy" wants to do up his car, then fair enough. Let him do up his car. Who am I so say he cannot. Of course I will oblige him by burning him at the lights every time, but that is his choice to go with looks and not performance.
My personal opinion is that if you want looks, you need to have performance to go with it. If your car is going to be "fully sik bro" you need to get it "fully sik" under the hood before anywhere else.
My thoughts anyway. I dont think we should jump on them for making their cars look good. That is their choice, performance is ours.

by that rationale, a guu in a gt-40 who was going for it in daylight would be a ricer?!
driving like a dickhead has nothing to do with rice, no does mums daily driver (unless it has stickers etc)

The driver doesn't make a car rice... its the car itself
i rekon rice is nething having to do with lancers and excels and mummies cars.. that has non performance enhancing modifications such as stickers and neons..
basically you wouldn't call a WRX with neons a full ricer because WRX's are quite fast.. even stock ones...
stickers n shit are alrite.. as long as the car it is on has a bit of go in it... although some are distastefully done..
peace
