Of course anyone can rice out a fast car. But at the end of the day the car still looks stupid.

In the beginning I thought so to, but I still think it'll be funny.

No offence,

but these parts

Chrome Dipstick
Chrome Fan Blade
Chrome Timing Chain Cover
Crome Alternator
Chrome Alternator Bracket

shouldn't be considered engine specs, more like dress up. Plus they don't do crap for the engne hp.

Sounds like he'll have one quick car when he's done!

Stupid ricers, but don't worry guys. . . . some young people are making it threw the ricer fad with Muscle. I'm 17 and have a '69 Mach 1 with a 351 in it. This was my idea, and my favorite car. But to help me out said money to

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

That's the point.

He's ricing out his Porsche. The funny part is it's supposed to look like a rice mobile, but it actually isn't.

Here's another link to more info about his car:

http://www.mechaps.com/odd/924Se/

BTW, he's 24. His last job was working for Universal Studios as a computer programmer. He got laid off a few months ago and decided to take a few months off of work. He wanted to work on this car during that time, but my Mustang keeps dieing. We've only been to make it to the place it's stored a few times. Right now the old engine's on the cherry picker, we're in the process of taking it out.

There's actually a "Ricer Haters Club"???

StangFlyer · 07-31-2002, 05:40 PM

Yeah know, it's not the import cars themselves that give them a bad name in my book. What makes the term "ricers" imply something bad is that the majority of these "import" owners (supposedly into performance) don't know anything about cars.

Point of example:

Someone that I used to work with that shall rename nameless, owns a Suburu. He's all into that car and imports, and thinks they are fast too. Now, some dude he knows is selling a Mustang that's in "ok" condition supposedly and that he was saying he might buy. In fact, he got all hot and bothered over the idea because it had a V8. That's all he knows, and so he thinks V8 (of any condition) equals FAST.

Any ways, at the time he wanted to get the car from the guy for a day just to bring it over for me to "check out for him" and tell him what's what. I was busy at the time, so I couldn't be here. So, he's got the car for a few days and starts complaining to me and another guy that worked there (Aka: BlackVert00 - who has a 2000 GT Convertible) that it doesn't seem that fast and his Suburu seems faster. Well, he's told us this is a V8 Mustang and we're like "that can't be". Well, not unless the guys total screwed the motor. Even stock it a 5.0L Mustang should be making over 200 HP and 300 ft-lbs of torque and blow the doors off that 4-cylinder Suburu.

In the end, what it turns out is that it's actually a 4 Cylinder Mustang!! The dude didn't even know the fricking difference! Even looking at the engine, he still thought it was a V8 until I got a real description from him of what the engine looked like and started laughing at him, telling him it was a flipping 4-cylinder Mustang!

Any ways, he didn't buy it needless to say. I think that was good thing that it turned out that way, because someone like that shouldn't have a car with any real power any ways...

In closing, it's a real bummer because knowing the guy personally he's actually a nice guy. He just buys into all that import nonesense and never will really learn anything having an import and hanging around nothing but other people that don't know anything either. Too sad.

I know there must be some import owners out there that actually do know about cars, but unfortunately I've never personally met one (yet).

Have you guys seen this site yet?

The Deuce · 07-31-2002, 05:53 PM

Dan, that is an awesome story. I knew a guy who was into imports and knew about cars once. He had an integra he'd built up with his dad and set up for autocrossing. The car would run in the 12's with a 100 shot if memory serves correctly. Of course that was about 5 years ago when anyone modifying a car only wanted it to go fast.

Oh yeah, his dad had a '66 with a built 289 and cutouts. Maybe that was why his kid knew about cars.

...waiting to be lucky 13 in the club.
