Kev946 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 It's a phrase I've only come across recently. The US guys use this quote alot. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricer Great description (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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the expression comes from the Harley Davidson fraternity in the States from years ago when they called all Jap bikes "Rice Burners" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Which is why you need the tomtom with the mobile locations already pre programmed - could have told you about the camera half a mile before you reached it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
