rtbiscuit Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 if we're going to play at definitions here's one you should read carefully: ricer 3839 up, 349 down (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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 tuition - means you actually learn something like these following lessons: Guide to fitting in: step 1 - knowing when to quit (in your case on the first post. step 2 - try not to use phrases that will irrate others e.g. focus, race, or words that have been spelt wrong cos it looks cool! (to give you a visual representation think die hard 3 when john maclane has to where a sign on his back in a black neighbourhood. step 3 - think about the car you drive, and then think of the appropriate forum to post on, ( you will most likely find lots of like minded people on maxpower.com, corsa.net, focus.com, ghettoracer.co.uk etc. step 4 - refer back to step 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
