Nothing. Whatever blows your skirt up, honey. Just don't be surprised when others are laughing at you.

C-ya

Man! LOL, I LOVE that reply PKRWUD. There's a lot of wisdom in that sarcasm...

And yeah, many of us DIE HARD MUSTANGERS may have started out a bit ricey. Especially if we didn't grow up around many real car enthusiasts and didn't have direction and the right influence when we were younger. I remember when I had my other V6 stang, I put this shiny exhaust tip on it b/c the other one looked rotten but the new one stuck out too much. But I still liked it b/c it was shiny . There are a few other things I did that I'm not so proud of, but over time and a little good influence and direction and common sense, I soon grew out of it. There's gotta be a time to grow up. And I don't mean going out and buying yourself a 2003 Cobra, get what you like, import or domestic and try to be honorable in what you do. Don't degrade a decent car WHATEVER IT MAY BE with cheap/stupid/flashy little trinkets and dodads thinking "oh wow, I'm cool now and can hang with the big dogs". Dont' pull up beside stangs and with a nasty attitude like your their daddy.

And stang guys, every once in a while, have a little sympathy on the respectful ricer guys, if you act snobby to them all the time, they're just gonna have the same stinking attitude towards you as you do to them. Hey, maybe you can influence them in a good way, I know I have (from experience). That's converting one ricer at a time.....

I'm quoting this off a site I found....

The term "Rice-Boy" is meant to be a derogatory term. But not racially derogatory. Some people might say that regardless of what this disclaimer says, it makes Asians look bad. Well, I hate to break it to these people but asians are not the only people on this planet who eat rice. Everyone eats rice. White people eat rice. Black people eat rice. Native Americans? They eat rice. Europeans eat rice!! And, if you open your eyes, you might notice that a whole lot of the rice-boys out there aren't even asian! The "rice" really refers to their cars. It's not about their race, it's about their attitude!


If you want to read more of a definition check out his page.

I think it's a great site and makes some really valid points.

I think the whole "rice" thing has gotten way outta hand...

however, PKRWUD..... I nearly fell out of my chair after reading your reply! I'm dyin' over here!!!! LOL!

That was great!

Yeah, but we're right and they're morons.

I'm feeling unusually fiesty. I'm having an overwhelming desire to go to the local mall and let the air out of the tires on every Rabbit, er, GTI I can find.

Sure. You just go right ahead and burst my bubble.

Hey, this is kinda fun, thinking like an idiot. No wonder so many ricers do it.

okay, i posted the other thread, i completely understand where you are coming from.........

-i do think all the "rice" jokes are pretty much played out

-i do think that some people don't have a fair definition of rice......if i a guy is building a show car or a stereo car and it is done right and isn't concerned with street racing at all, i don't think his car is rice at all

-i don't like the term "ricer"........it kinda carries racial overtones and doesn't necessarily make the user sound intelligent......i think "poser" would be a more accurate description

okay, back to my question:

would you consider this rice? the guys that run around in the stock or relatively stock (read intake/exhaust only) 5.0's, or 4.6's, or camaro's, or whatever..........often have decals, or cowl hoods, or blackouts and drive around like they are billy badarse and the fastest thing on the road

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yes, even tho I am relatively stock, this is kinda the newbie-teen driver-goin-nuts-with-daddies-credit-card-driver-thing I beleive. i see these kids in my town, tryin to be billy badass, runnin people off the road, drivin like morons... i don't like it even though some of em are stang drivers. you can easily tell when someone has gone too far in the looks dept.. cause ford designed these cars with a killer look, and it takes very little to improve on the looks of a pony car.

I try to relate rice with this formula:

supercar looks-actual performance+ignorant ******* attitude=rice

rice is kinda racial because its term came mainly from the old days of true "only commuter" car status of imports, before there were any true import sports cars. i'm glad there is a wakeup call to get some serious performing imports on the market, it keeps the ford, chevy guys on there toes and make this game more fun.

rice is more of a mentality IMO, its negating a simple fact that you wanna be respected in the racing world, but don't got the stones to lay down the rubber so they make the car the most interesting car they can with huge wings, foglights, etc. rice is imitation. but to run with the racing pack you better have money under the hood to justify that conning tower rear wing set up. bad atittudes can happen to anybody,
domestic...import.. ford or ferarri, an ****** is an ****** in my opinion, i don't care what you drive.

plus poser is skateboard lexicon, i like the fact cars guys have there own language.

orginially posted by this is not cbring
you're actually right dan-man, he ran a 15.01 at his only track visit.........so i guess it isn't a 15 second flat car

how you figure i'm tryin' to BS you? don't think civics could possibly run decent times...........magazine guys clocked mid-15's stock and i somewhat doubt that magazine guys know how to extract full potential out of a car with such a narrow powerband..........

i know or know of at least a half dozen 99-00 civic si's (with more mods than that) that have ran a proven better time

How do I think that your bs us? Well, for one you have a problem with the whole rice boy fad. You call us extreme (or something of the sorts). I don't think that you get the whole picture on RHC.

As far as that 15 sec Honda, well, it sounds like a fast car (for a civic.). However, I'm not about to sink a bunch of money into a front wheel drive car like that just to go 15's when I could put half as much into a 5.0 Mustang and go 13's or 12's.

Most of these rice boys don't even know what their cars are pathetic pos's. They think that if they put on a fart can and a wing they're ready to whoop on every domestic that they line up againist. I just don't understand their mentality.

Look, I own a import. You can read my sig and tell that. You own a import. Do I plan to rice it out? Hell no! If anything, it'll get bigger mud tires on it and a lift, but that's it.

My question to you is, do you plan to rice out your car?

Daniel.

[this is not cbring]

do i plan to rice my car?

well, dan, i guess it depends who's defining rice. these are my plans (though i seriously doubt they will all come to fruition, and if they do, it'll take several years)

-rear sway bar
-strut tower brace
-aftermarket diverter valve
-intake
-1.1 bar (16 psi) chip
-exhaust
-downpipe
-lowering springs
-beat lots of mustangs at the track and at the autocross

then i'll add 18"s wheels, bigger brakes, color-matched chin spoiler and rear valence, grill insert, some sort of subtle rear spoiler up top

then when i burn up the clutch, ima add:
-short shift kit
-upgraded clutch
-lightened flywheel
-Automatic Torque Biasing Differential

[95mustanggt]

Sounds like great mods. Looks like your going to be an auto cross racer. That's great there are some guys like that here too, but they are a little more rare. The Cobra is the good handling car of our breed (stock), but sounds like you'll have fun.

Chris, buddy, where are you coming up with this stuff, LMAO, too funny!

What i dont understand, why would you put 600 horses on a FWD car? THAT IS RICE! regaurdless how fast it is, it is RICE!

Remember Cbring, American Muscle has been here WAY before hopped up FWD 4 cylinders. Ever hear of the "FLATHEAD FORD"? Where was your "Race car"? oh thats right, wasnt around! You RICERS got the racing/horsepower from the good ole' Americans! As for German engineering, i cant say any real bad stuff about them. It is just the ASIAN auto market. Rice term was directed toward the birthplace of the vehicle, Japan. Since Japan is part of Asia, and Asians ate alot of rice in their culture, you can put the two together and see where it came from. Since stupid people started to breed, so did the cars. They got really dumb. The first? Japanese cars. It eventually bled out to German Automobiles and American automobiles.(remember, we are talking about ricers!)

Form and function. if you cant use either one of these (example,big wing!) then why bother?

dont get me wrong, i really do like imports. i own them and modify them, but making something asz-backwards seems like ricer mentality to me. Remember, about 85% of ricers have Japanese vehicles. (from what i noticed people talking about and around my hometown)

Japanese cars can be fast either FWD, AWD and RWD. If you were raised with a parent or a family member who owned an old muscle car, a very good chance it will be carried on in the family. My pops owned a 65 Fastback 2+2 289. look what i own. see the pattern? real horsepower and cool looking cars. your generation of rice? FWD small displacement, highly overpriced aftermarket, happy meal bolt ons, garbage pail kids stickers all over the Fuggng car, HUGE wing that doesnt do anything, exhaust that DOES sound like schit, taillights that look fake 10 miles away, booming rictor scale stereos, neon bar lights under the car, disco color gauges, huge wheels, small brakes, paint-to-match interior, Chinese writing on the car even the Chinese cant understand and window tint that changes color. Huh, i wonder why Ricers get picked on? i dont understand it myself that was the 85%
Here is the 15% of non Japanese vehicles: same as above, but RWD!

now us. Nice sounding exhaust. aftermarket bolt-ons that actually work, power that you can FEEL, numbers to prove it, your dad approves the Stang/Camaro, dad telling you stories when he was a kid, "i had a 67 bla bla bla, with a big block yada yada yada..."not "i had a 1.6 with yada yada yada", we can pull the front wheels off the ground, posi-traction that works, we can peg our 140 speedos with out any power adders, stock form they are pretty fast, we can drift better, we have a better useable torque range, we can Supercharge it, Turbo it, or Juice it(notice i didnt use NAWS!), we have pickups that are faster than most of your terrrbo FWD's, weight distrubution is better, if we have a wing, we can use it for the high speed the car can actually do, horns dont sound "gay", we can add more displacement without any power adders, we have unique names for our autoparts like Rockcrusher, 3 dueces and Shaker, and last but not least, you have no idea what i just said, cause you are part of a generation of automation, not automotive. Also, don't know what "heritage" is and something the Japanese imports will never have.
FLATHEAD FOREVER!

where is the pic of your car not a Cbring? do you have any? we all would like to see it!

Now just look back at what i read and pretend you are neutral on the subject. Say your not an automotive enthusiast, just an average Joe/Jane who thinks of the automobile as just "transportation". Of the two paragraphs, which one would you laugh at? nuff said!

my next project, maybe, 88 Supra Twin Turbo or hop up my 87 TBird.

Remember, IT GOES WITH THE TERRITORY!

p.s. just to make it clear, i still like imports, even FWD ones and even modding them, just wont sink 10 grand to go 14's! you get the point....

i kinda had trouble following.........

were the you's directed at me specifically?

LOL.........i sorta feel a need to defend myself

1) where does this 600 horse figure come from? i've never even heard of a FWD with 600 horses

2)sounds like you got me pegged with the description....
my first car was a 1977 ford f100, followed by a 1980 camaro.........if the owner will accept my $8300 cash offer, i'll own a 1968 chevelle with a 454 tomorrow.......i've never owned a japanese car.........i'll turn 24 this month, i'm a college graduate and i work for a finance company, about once a month, i thrash through mountain roads with a group of other european car owners and then talk about stocks, investments, and the business world in general over lunch............if i'm not wearing a shirt and tie, i'm wearing khaki's and a golf shirt................if that doesn't fit your ricer stereotypes, i don't know what does

3)sink 10 grand to break 14's?..........if my car can't break 14's bone stock, it can off of free mods............

when shopping for a new car, my final choices were my gti and a mustang gt.........i got my gti for 4k cheaper than the best price i could get on a mustang gt.........my insurance quotes: gti $742/6 mos, mustang gt, $1450/6 mos........that is $1406 per year.........that is $5624 over the 4 year time frame............a combined $9600 cheaper to operate than a mustang for the first 4 years..............for $9600, i can get all the mods i listed in the about post (resulting in a car that is capable of beating a stock 02 mustang gt in straight-line and road-racing performance) and have money left over for my Roth IRA

you didn't mention useable torque, but my gti's peak torque is at 1950 rpm's
