What is a Ricer?

Seems to me everyone has there own definition of the term Ricer?

Whats urs?

Most people will say someone who drives a car modified pointlessly

others say its more or less a person who is reckless in there driving habits, and does little to educate them selves about there own vehical…(this one is my pick on what a ricer is)

“One persons rice is another persons gourmet meal”

non-functional mods.

acting as if non-functional mods make one badass.

ie. roof scoops on any front engine car car… gawd i hate that

I think the term conspicuous consumption is a pretty good way at describing the behaviour

anyone who drives a Japanese car. Never mind oatmeal, thats for American cars

My definition of a Ricer is Ahmed.

username is a_ahmed on the board.

Prolly the worst place to post this, everyone seems to have serious ego issues. Either way it depends on how you view rice to begin with. I think we all have a little ricer in us (lol… Mark, I’m predicting your reply as I type this), but it’s how you balance it out in the end that matters. I think the line that sets apart “rice” from “not rice” is when someone asks you why you did something, and you can answer it without being ashamed of your answer.

Not a lot of you will agree with me on this one but this is what Rice is to me when I see a car:

Rims that are put on for the sake of having different rims. Usually doesn’t even look good with the car and has shitty offset and width.

This one applies to a lot of S13s i have seen. Black side skirts, rear bumper, black hood, on a car that isn’t black. It looks brutal especially on a red car.

Getting a lot of hardcore track stuff for a car that only goes to a weekly 240 meet.

Putting a lot of non functional stuff on the car of course.

I think any car that is gold/champagne and has 3 spoke advans is ricer shit.

how dare you talk about Roast in that way!

…I bet nobody saw that one comin!

Rice the car: Any non functional OR performance decreasing (ie 3" Cat back on a NA 4 banger) mod, also anything super flashy (ie neon behind an IC or under body)

That would be the way to define a CAR as rice for me.

Rice the person: Anyone who talks tons of shit about “track driving” but has never even been to one to prove their “theories”. Also people who brag about things they have accomplished in their car that is complete and obvious BS.

IE: Bigger brakes don’t increase braking performance and wider tires don’t improve handling. (Both with in reason of course)

yea well I’m a member of SON so even though he’s done me tons of favours in the past they are immediately forgotten.

Hah what kind of idiot would think bigger brakes don’t improve braking performance?

haha, I see what you did there!

Lets be clear for the record. I said that on a single stop from 160, on an s13, with the same pads, with braking system in perfect working condition the stock brakes will do just as good of a job as z32 brakes.

Better pads > Bigger brakes.

rice anyone who puts stickers of parts they dont have on their cars.

I guess I should take that 5one5 sticker off my car :smiley:

Science proves you wrong :frowning:

tehcnically, american cars should be called hot dogs if anything…

number one , hot dog = america
number 2, they think they are hawt dawgs driving them no?

isnt america’s rice , hotdogs? lol

Not really, and if you want me to, I’ll get into it. Fortunately for me, practice proves me right. HP+ pads on 180SX brakes will outperform HPSs on Z32s any day.

since when do you have a 5one5 sticker?
I normaly only give them out when I sell parts.

either way its also a shop sticker so id call it a grey area lol

Mael

I dont, I was just teasing :slight_smile:

good response though, grey area, hahahaha
