    Im kind of curious of what exactly defines a -ricer-...is it incorporated into every import tuner car...or are there special aspects of the car to call it a -ricer-
    • Aug 01, 2005 9:22:08 pm
    nah really though, ive been in -the scene- for about a year now, but i have personal definitive laws that dictate what -ricer- to me isanyone that these attributes apply to does not automatically make them or their car rice, its just the way i feel)lambo doors huge wings, or any wings on a FWD cargaudy huge front/rear kitsgiant vinylshood/roof scoopsunderglowand anything else thats useless***however, these things seem to be acceptable if youre car is a complete car show car. i just personally like clean looking, simple, -sleeper cars.- remember though...im just a newbie.

    Dictionary Term for 1. Ricer(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term -rice-) to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747- Lots of after-market company stickers they don-t have parts from, but must be cool- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire- Clear tail lights and corner signals- A -performace intake-- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX-s and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.The -ricer- attempts to make their car -performance- by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4- exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.2. RicerAny oriental import car that has been modified for no real performance gain.Ricer: An oriental car with no engine mods, a body kit, and possibly stickers. Made to look fast.Not a ricer: An oriental car with a fully built engine, drive train, and suspension reguardless of appearance3. RicerRicer - Any person who adds tasteless modifications to a perfectly normal automobile.We-re not anti-import...We-re anti-idiot......www.anti-rice.com4. Ricerany person who spends more money to make their car look like it goes fast than they spend on actually making it go fast.Usually people who try to get into the import tuning scene after watching the fast and the furious a few too many times. Not necessarily anyone who goes and buys a bodykit, because a few of those actually do decrease drag, increase cooling, etc., like veilside and stuff, just crappy ripoffs that dont do a damn thing except maybe increase downforce, but if you have a FWD car, a spoiler is just gonna make you go slower. Also, if you have any idea how cars work, you-d realize that there really is no point in making a car look fast if it cant go fast, and if you dont understand how cars work, or dont care, you have no business even pretending to be a part of the tuner scene.Billy and Bobby both have 6000 to spend on their car. Billy invests it in suspension and engine work, and Bobby buys a -sick- body kit, and some -tight- rims. So, Billy has a fast car that will surprise anyone wanting to race it, and bobby is hitching a ride back home, because his -sick- body kit blocked all air to the engine.Can you spot the ricer?5. RicerWhen a moron (see: retard, dumbass) decides to take a car (foreign or domestic) and tries to make it look fast. The car will not really gain any hp or performance, but it will gain numerous stickers and yellow paint. It can be identified by one of the following:1. The sound of a loud fart in a coffee can.2. The yellow blob with a bookshelf on the trunk that is 1/4 mile behind real cars.3. A Honda that has -performance mods- such as stickers, seat harnesses, and a fire extinguisher in full view (just in case the things catches on fire when it hits 40 mph).4. A driver who claims his car has 100hp per liter but will not fess up to the fact that his car has a total of 43 ft/lbs of torque.Ricers are fags.6. RicerSomeone regardless of ethnicity with any vehicle regardless of type that put money into the cosmetics of their vehicle instead of performance and treats it as though it will beat anything it up against.7. RicerThe process of taking an import car such as a Honda Civic, putting a fart pipe on it, spoilers and some stickers. Then you drive it around town flooring it out the corners, vainly beleiving people think you-re cool and have driving skills.8. RicerA small vehicle that-s big on ignorance. Usually laden with asinine -mods-, like garish plastic ground effects that were never painted to match the rest of the car, a giant whale-tail even though it-s front-wheel-drive, and a fart-can whose sound encourages everyone to turn and laugh at the driver.This phenomenon is sad, really. It may have resulted from the fact that stupid consumers flocked to front-wheel drive, despite the fact that these cars handle like a sled on concrete and AREN-T WORTH MODIFYING.Back in our parents- day, kids would save up to buy an old Chevelle and work on it until it was a V-8 powerhouse.Today, most of that demographic has been replaced with spoiled brats who think they can buy performance in the form of stickers and a subwoofer. Instead of wasting their money on these laughable ricers, they could have scoped out Auto Trader for a great muscle car and owned a classic.9. RicerEither a Japnease car tuned to sound like a crying baby, or the term used to describe a helpless teen that thinks his or her lawnmower-powered civic or eclipse could own a Vette or Ferrari.That cool civic you see haulin- down the freeway with an airplane wing for a spoiler.10. RicerAny of a number of persons, usually young males, who place numerous cosmetic enhancements to a vehicle in the belief that such enhancements will add performance to their vehicles. These -enhancements- include but are not limited to:1. Incorrect badging2. Insanely large exhaust tips (5- in diameter or greater)3. Spoilers & bodykits; especially those made of cardboard or plastic4. Offset tape stripes5. Single wiper conversion6. Oriental symbols; esp. on American carsCars do not neccesarily need to be imports to be considered -rice-- ex. -Cobra- badging and/or body kit on a V6 Mustang.I-ve seen myself the following examples:-RalliArt- badging on a Honda-Evolution- badging and bodykit attempt on 1989 Mirage-Neuspeed- badging on 1997 Lumina-Type-R- badge and 5- exhaust tip on 1980s Civic WagovanDouble spoiler, 18- rims and Type-R badge on Geo MetroType-R badge on Ford ProbeMore Definitions at Urban Dictionary: Ricer Definition

    Don-t forget the zip-ties and duct tape! And I don-t know if it was mentioned above (didn-t read it all it-s really long): any car that is primered and stays that way for months because the kid can-t afford to paint it yet.

    Sorry unseen but (IMO) Lambo doors are NOT rice....too expensive to be.

    Is that not a prime example of rice? Way to expensive of a part for the car. That has not real functionality maybe even hinders the function of the car. I like the show but the most riced out cars in the world are coming from -Pimp My Ride- lately. Last weeks Ford Taurus was a prime example.
    • Aug 03, 2005 12:28:42 pm
    I love how every car on pimp my ride ends up with chrome wheels, some kind of nasty fabric for the headliner, and either orange flames or ghost flames.

    everyone is entitled to their own opinion. i think lambo doors look cool on someone elses car, just not mine. i was basically saying it may be inclusive to accomodations that are -overboard-. but again, if its a show car, thats what the point of adding them is for. if were entering my car as a show car, i might have them on there...actually i wouldnt, i hate lambo doors. but everyone has their own taste. ie. theres a reason i havent bought HIDs yet. i really like them, but i have found other things prioritized in the queue of modifications, such as a turbo kit. i plan on keeping the exterior as close to stock as i can, minus a few things, simply because its not my style. if you like lambo doors, go for it, i wont call you a ricer. i think ricers know who they are, and 99% of the heads here arent.

    It seems that RSworkstc has the most comprehensive description of what exactly the term means, however I would like to add a quite simple explanation. A -RIcer- is a car, or person, who tries way too hard to make their car look a certain way, whether it be with stickers, ugly wings and body kits, bad paint jobs, cheap rims, or any other ill-conceived amateur modification. I hesitate to say that having any of the particular mods listed above makes you a ricer, but a ricer will definitely have one of the above listed mods. Usually whatever is the cheapest way to make the car -unique- or custom (what normal people call -look like crap-)UNseen-I totally know what ur saying, I-m a fan of clean cars, but also remember, each person has their own unique style and may like different mods, but the key is,-does it work, does it fit with the car, is it a cry for attention?- While it is tough to describe, a ricer is something that you just know when u see it. Like cavaliers and sunfires with wings and rims...just doesn-t go with the cars. Just my 2 cents

    This morning driving to work at 4am I saw a ricey late 90s civic wanting to race me on the highway. It had a body kit, loud exhaust, altezza lights, and at least 5 lcd monitors all running something. It could have had more but it was dark out.
    • Aug 04, 2005 9:56:25 am
    I was having trouble making my own definition of a ricer, but TCFuzion led me in the right direction. A ricer is a person who builds a car without money or planning/forethought. You can tell because they primer and then can-t afford paint, or buy an exhaust but they can only afford the muffler, or if they have two side skirts that don-t match; that kind of stuff.

    please change #9 to non 4g63 powered eclipse. because im sure a majority of us know that not all eclipses are lawnmower-powered. and yes, there are plenty of eclipses out there that can own vettes or ferraris. a few that can own vipers even.

    when pimp my ride... when somethign is HORRENDOUS...it usually means they don-t like the person...Xzhibit did an interview where he said (not exactly) -we-ve pimped rides for people who ended up being jerks, so we made their cars... you know- hahah....sucks for them...

    We-re talking the F&F Eclipses out there. But I have yet to see but maybe a few drag racing Eclipse that can own a Ferrari or Viper, and only in a straight line, nothing road legal or able to be a reliable daily driver. And those able to build an Eclipse able to own a Ferrari are spending as much as a Ferrari to get it to that level. So why not just buy the Ferrari?

    Rice is a white automatic accord with a fart muffler and green neon washer lights revving you on your way home from work and backing off right after you peel out in 2nd..Happened tonite on my way home

    There is a pretty big park near my house that lots of people go to to ride bikes, walk their dogs, rollerblade, etc. And there is a main street that runs through the park. A TON of cars meet every friday night (and other nights too). If you want to see rice you should just go there. Ton-s of high school kids with like 1990 integras that are 4 different colors and with a rusty fart can on the back. The best part is, these kids go through the park reving and speeding constantly even though the park is full of cops that will pull you over for going 30 in a 25. I go rollerblading everynight and I see at least one ricer get pulled over every night for being stupid.

    btw.. are those gigantic dual mufflers in the first pic funtional?
    • Aug 08, 2005 11:37:13 pm
    Twice on my commute I-ve seen this guy with a Kia Sorento with an AMG emblem on the back. No other mods. That-s so over the top it-s funny.
