All my friends buy Polish mags such as "GT" where on the front cover ya can see a red Daewoo Matiz with 18' rims instead of a F430. A small part of our population makes up a subculture we call 'dresiarze'. They find it cool to walk aroud in the latest luminescent Addidas clothes and drive around in their 30 year old BMW's with moddified exhausts, their speakers playing techno at max volume. They just piss everybody off all the time. That's why Beemers have lost a lot of reputation in my eyes, I love these cars the fact that they are riced out by these assholes makes me mad. "The fast and the furious" and "2 fast 2 furious" were both commercial hits here in Poland. Maybe this film has such bad influence.

same thing here in Norway, especialy the '86 bmw is popular....I get embaressed on their behalf

hrmmm lets see
the rice argument again
heres my two cents

NOT RICE but a "econobox"
http://sportcompactcarweb.com/featur...scc_hondataeg/

track car, and fast, function wing, and body mods

this argument can go on for days

basically here is a ricer:
stock engine, or only the ever so popular "intake" and "fart can" lots of body mods and/or stickers, and a shitty ass attitude, also has things such as huge stereos, tvs, or unpainted body kits on their "track/race car"

not rice :
someone who has say a civic, and we will say with a b series motor or something similair with vtec, who may have a slight amount of body mods, but has some actualy power mods under the hood, but appreciates the car for the technology that has gone into the development of his VTEC engine, and considers tuning to be an art, and usually this car is fast, and has good power for what it is

the point i am trying to make, is that labeling every modded civic, mazda, nissan, etc as rice isnt the right way to do it, rice is as much, if not more the personality of the person, rather than the car. granted the number of "ricers" outnumber the "enthusiast" thats no reason to bash a whole group of vehicles.

If you want to see rice, go to a sonic or something on a friday/sat night
if you want to see fast, functional, hondas, go to a honda challenge event, or some autocrosses, or visit small tuning shops, or watch the "pro-am" class of import drag racing, its full of street driven 10 sec hondas

i can speak from experience when i say, yeah dumping 20 grand in a civic is kinda silly, but most people dont plan on it...most buy the car, and say i want some more go...so they add intake, headers, exhuast, maybe some cams....then like it and say ok maybe a lil more, then comes a turbo....etc etc and by the time its done the have spent the money...most real import enthusiasts dont buy a cheapo car, and then dump the money in it right away....its a long process where you dont really realize the money in the car, but that is a null point anyhows, cause if the person is not a ricer, then they prolly have a pretty awesome fast econobox, which is cool, cause if thats what that person likes, and if that person built that car, or that tuning shop built that car and is proud of it, then more power to them

judge the driver, not the kind of car.....

drifting, drifting appears at its surface to be rice, japanese cars, stickered and kitted up, sure, but all race cars have crazy paint jobs and stickers, its part of advertising and sponsors, whether you likd drifting or not, you have to admit the skill of the top drivers is pretty awesome the way the can control a car, and alot of drift drivers came from other forms of motorsport and view drifting as a more easy going and cheaper way to have alot of fun in a car. i also like the affect drifting is having on manufacturers who previously didnt car about the younger demographic, pontiac giving rhys a GTO to drift is cool, its different, and good things will come of it. its also having a impact on tire development as manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon and developing new tires that last longer and can withstand more abuse. so if you hate it, hate it, if you love it, then love it, but either way, good things are coming out of it, =)


just bash the idiots ricing, not the cars

I love EVO mag and CAR mag, but i love my VW magazines which have rice crap in it as well as great engine tuning advice. I also would like to see you try to drift even close to how they do it, don't talk about something you yourself cannot do. All those drifters are also professional race drivers, some of them from best motoring. Just leave them all alone, it's not like a disease thats going to affect you, it's their life not yours. Man you are so lost. RICERS SAY THEIR CARS ARE FAST, BUT THEY ARENT. How hard is it to understand 1 in 100 drifters is a proffesional racer, Tsychia is one of the few. And yes I can drift a car. Give me a car and watch. I havn't met any ricers that have ever said there cars are fast, now they may like to race whatever car they pull up next to and look like an idiot, but they just want to race which i have no problem with. It doesn't mean i'de race them and waist my gas. And their car may be fast enough for them. My point is this topic isn't worth talking about. Let the ricers do what they want, it's always good for a laugh, and my ass you know how to drift. You couldn't go around a whole circle, let alone a circuit if you had to. Everything sounds and looks easy doesn't it, but try it an you'll see. What do you drive by the way, i'm just curious?

If you talk to people who say their car in not fast while it might look fast then you are not TALKING TO A RICER. Jezzzz for fucks sake people do you read or do you beat off?

Ricer are hyporcrites, just like me the crazy hyprocrite from canukistan.

And and I drive a 92' HONDA CIVIC with a big wing, big body kit, a pimp pink paint job, with a knob off of a manual car on my 4 speed auto.


Do you know what rice is? I mean jezzzzz.People start reading and stop beating off.

Thank you man. That was a good read. For once somebody actually has the right mind and READS.

I have no problem with guys putting a little body kit or something like that, again look at Koenig I previously talked about.

Getting back at drifting...again I see it more as a form of art and I like your tire point...I just dont agree when people try to say that its a motorposrt. Because motrosports are not judged buy how good you look doing somethiung.

AC Schnitzer is not rice. AC schnitzer is firm that works with many teams in touring car series etc. What they put on their cars is straight from the race track, so it doesnt take a genious to figure out that their body kits are actually aerodynamic aids, and not "HEY LOOK AT ME" material. Their diffusers are functional, actually stock sports cars are coming out with rear diffusers these days.

Same goes out for their wings.




I still think that certain people in this thread are either retarted or just dont read, or are a ricer.

Many still didnt pickup the defition of rice and ricers.....

Just stop posting, your making your self look bad. If you cared to read a few posts up then you would know what my reply to corvette97 would be

[mindgam3]

I think the biggest ricing drawback has yet to be mentioned and thats stereo's.....

Any car with a stupid stereo I consider rice, at least if it's supposed to be a performance car......

Lots of weight never does a car any good....

[twboy1999]

i like to make myself a jackass..and i dont think i would like to stop...

and i am 2 lazy to read every single word

btw.. i like bling bling rims

RICER POWER BITCH

as for bling bling rims........I think most that put them on just have bad taste....a Bentley arnage doesnt look good with spinners, it just doesnt

Haha

aint ricers just amazing..."92 Accord all pimped out....take a FErrari out on any strip any time"

And just look at all these drag racing enhancment mods. Heavy ass stereos....with 3 subwoofers that they took out of some speakers from Salvation army...

And wings along with body kits that cause more drag then a parachute lol

Gone are the days of the 1970s F1 beauties, gone are the days of mad group C racing gone are the days proper racing. Every time I go to a book store never do I see a younger person pickup an EVO or a Car magazine. What Im I talking about, anytime I see someone pickup a decent magazine its some man in his 40s going through a mid life crisis looking for a new toy to buy. The more I turn on the TV, the more rice I see. Drifting competitions, drag racing and other shiite. There seems to be no interest in Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos....all they care about these days is a riced out mazda, nissan or some other deep fryer. So what do you think is the future? I say, its gonna be full of electric cars with big wings, stickers and body kits straight out of the factory... We need to do something to bring back what cars should be all about. Slippery bodies, V12s and V8s, RWD, NO TC, NO ABS, no bullshit, nervous rear ends, and dashboards with big tachos in the middle. i think u are confused what really is rice.. yes i agree there alot of rice, specially in toronto... people modding their car, and buying performance magainze doesnt mean they are rice.. they simply like to trick out their car... drifting and drag racing is rice??? wtf did that come from?? whats wrong with body kit specially ones that come from factory? how is that rice?? yes.. sticker and big wing are rice on a low hp ghetto car there are v12 and v8 cars on the road.. and alot of cars on the road are rwd.. just dont buy a fwd.. .. and for traction control.. any true sports car, can turn it off.. is faimly car that cant totally turn it off.. and abs?? wtf is wrong with that.. you can simply stop shorter and no. i am not a ricer man.. and yes. i do know some knowledge about ferrari, lambo, porsche, konisegg, zonda No you are confused. Putting a turbo on your car doesnt make it rice, putting a useless body kit on your car is rice. Unless that body kit improves your downforce and lessens your drag its not rice...but lets be real here, 90% of those body kits just add drag and nothing else. And please how many of the rice mobiles arent shitty FWD low HP deep fryers?????Tell me please,,,its one in a thousand that you see a modded Evo or a WRX or a Skyline.........95% of that scene is full of fucking econo boxes. When they drop a line that goes along something like this -" thats all I can afford"...I just want to laugh. For the money they put into their econo boxes you can get your self a nicely used 944 or find a 914, a car that can actually go fast...unless you trick out your car to go fast, your just a fucking poser trying to look like your the sheeeet with your civic that looks like it can do a 1/4 miles in oh so many seconds. Fucking barely anyone "tricks out" their car under the hood. If you puting on some new blue led spark plug wires, and change your air filter for one with glitters its fucking rice. A wing on a civic wont do shit....half of those wings arent even designed with downforce in mind, just look at their shape. And tell me please what is that wing for if all you do is cone dodging at 20mph and possing at whatever those VTECs red line at in first gear. Drifting is FUCKING RICE WITH A CAPITAL R. Why? Because its all about looking good.....driving and racing is supposed to be about a challenge, about going that thousans of a second faster. Driving around in a circle at 40mph or less is nothing but throttle feathering and oppsite lock...yes its that easy...especialy when they setup the car just for that purpose talk about challenging. Its ok to drift for fun as a secondary thing you do on a track day etc....at a some decent speed at least......but when drifting becomes a full on "sport" it just makes me laugh......see no difference between an Armani model walking down the strip and some shit box going around is circles smoking the shit out of rear tires. ABS and TC was a side comment. And yeah, when you are on a Sunday drive if you are really an enthusiast you should turn all aids off. Its a challenge to feed the power with your own feet, its a challenge to work the brakes your self, not some computer. Might get your self a driver instead. Or take the Taxi. And what is up with stickers? Stickers are not cool. The only reason race teams use them is for sponsor ship....all it does is makes your car looks uglier....the less stickers the better....you didnt see to many racers with stickers in the 60s did you? Well thats because sponsorships were not as big back in the day. To the bottom line is this. FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION. Anything that is not functional on a car is rice, and goes against the three words above. Everything on a Ferrari on a Porsche is there for a reason. You dont see ferrari puting an air vent that is just for looks. They make their cars beautiful because they are shapped by the wind.

I agree. if i were to get a car and decided to modify it, the ast thing on my mind would be cheesy bodykits! no sir, the first thing i would do was consult a professional, and get immediatley to work on making the car DRIVE better, not look better. as for drifting, i dont really pay attention to that, and as such, have no comment.
