Well, I'm going to let it all come out...

Both my friends, as well as myself consider me a ricer. I have the underglow, the blue bulbs, the rims, everything that makes the car look "faster." And what have I got to show for it under the hood? Nothing. Just a cold air, and an exhaust. Mind you there isn't a whole lot available for the car yet (Mom granted me a Jackson Racing Supercharger when I graduate though...) But I still feel like such a ricer since the car is made to look and sound fast, yet I've been regularly spanked by 15 year old 240SX's and ****...

So, I'm laying it all out. As far as I can tell, I'm a ricer. I'm not all show and no go, but there is definitly a steeper margin towards the looks department. (See mods list below for details.)

I'll now return to my SCC magazine, and wallow in my own crapulence.

alcoholiday

thank god. i've been wanting to call you a ricer for a long time.

alcoholiday

what happened to mr. seatbelt?


and maxx, are you going to take the underglow off for winter? the sanding etc. is going to kick the crud out of it i would think.

I don't think your car is rice, as matter of fact, if making ones car look nicer is considered rice, then I'm a riceboy and proud of it.

I think ricers are the ones that put stickers, badges, etc... from things they don't have in their cars, like a V-tec sticker on a protege for example. It also includes bad taste aesthetic mods such as huge non-functional wings.

My god, 'we' have been waiting to let you know that too! Ricer-boy, I am just jealous...

alcoholiday

it's true.

if i didn't have a mortgage and car payments, i'd be mod'ing mine 8 ways from sunday. i *am* jealous of the freedom to mod certainly.

Oh crap I never even noticed your wing in your sig! Your right, your now Ricer-grl!

Maxx Mazda

Excuse me whilst I hang my head in shame...

LOL! And Foxy, please call me Nick!

Edit: I think I'm going to leave the underglow on for the winter... It's kind of a pain to take off... Would it really be that bad for it?

alcoholiday

seriously dude, it's a nice car. the only bit i don't like is the white grill but that's just personal preference.

as for performance, the supercharger route is groovy.

Hey pass the Uncle Bens please!!! LOL

We are all ricers to a certain extent or this site would not be here. What the hell would we chat about then.....and just where is the fun in that.

If you think back you will find that it went from muscle cars to lowriders, to mini trucks, to mintrucks with exhaust and intakes with spoke wheels, to hydrulics and graphics in metallic paint still on cars with wings and intakes with exhaust to what we have now the refined ricer look!

lost_concept

Hi,

1. Riceboy has a vehicle that is generally not considered a performance car, ("performance car" meaning it stems from the sports car or muscle car background).

2. Riceboy starts by adding visual modifications to the vehicle, to give it the image of "looking fast." This can be done by adding a body kit, a performance uni-blade windshield wiper, vast amounts of stickers strategically placed on any part of the vehicle, performance seat belt covers, PIAA driving lights that are fluroescent or blue colored, large exhaust tip (at least twice the size of the actual exhaust pipe), 130+ decibel stereo system, and an oversized rear wing/spoiler.

Keep in mind, THESE ARE NOT PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS. Riceboys think they are, and as a result will cruise around town like they are fast. Zooming around corners, riding laid back, and music cranked with the windows down to make it known that there is a loud stereo in the vehicle all to make it APPEAR as if they are tough, have a fast vehicle, and aren't to be messed with.

3. Riceboys "race" from a rolling start of about 30mph. This is not a real race.

4. Riceboys on several occasions will cruise the streets with their local car club which should actually be called a decal club. They typically flaunt their newest windshield stickers while sporting other offset sticker designs they came up with to promote the club for their economy-cars-turned-race-cars.

5. Riceboys call their exhaust systems "high-tech" sounding. We don't know about the rest of the world, but our farts sure don't sound remotely high-tech. Riced out vehicles sound like a fart, a gnat, or a swarm of bees when travelling in packs.

6. To draw more attention to their vehicles, when large crowds are in the area, they tend to drive by several times at about 6000rpm so everyone can see their immaculate vehicle speed by and fart. Riceboy drives fast or in crowded areas doing all that he can to attract the most attention and turn the most heads. Ultimately, this is riceboy's goal.

7. Whenever riceboys park, they like to keep their windshield wipers up. This is still a mystery to us, but for some reason this is cool. Why, we do not know. Maybe to prove that the ricer has the coordination and timing to turn off the vehicle before his or her wiper(s) retract.

Many riceboys deal with what they have. Unfortunately, they go overboard with whatever vehicle they can afford, was handed down to them, or was purchased for them by mommy and daddy. Because of this, there are literally several thousand 4-banger, 6-banger, and even some 8 cylinder vehicles roaming the streets with extremely poor taste in exterior body modifications. This poor taste somehow translates into an image of performance, and to the average person these vehicles might actually look "fast." Keep in mind that riceboys can drive any type of vehicle, not just an import.

OK ok ok....

taht's good....

So I should consider myslef sort of a rice boy.
since I had a "form fit" sticker on my bug deflector
