What do you call a ricer?
To me its some punk with a cheap vinal job, and a constant "wet fart", and mabey some parts store lights - who you promplty spank in yer truck.

ithink it's an attitude, I've met ricers with nice cars. It comes down to automotive ignorance and overrating your car, then making up excuses as to why you lost.

I 'll agree with that, but what makes them ricers? the cars? the flashy add-ons?
So I gues the question realy is what constitues the whoe ricer label. Personaly I look at it this way: F&F fan boy with flashy vinal and a "fart cannon" (that still makes me grin) who like was said above just doesnt get it VS. a well built machine buy some one who does, and what if that machine is a toyota or how about a stang with the same mods? :fried:

A ricer's first mod is a carbon fiber phart can muffler that inevitably will burn the hell out of the urethane rear bumper cover. Not only does the sound of the blatting muffler excite him beyond measure; he believes the female species is turned on by the sound of an aged cow in it's death throws. Next, because the rear bumper has been torched by previously mentioned phart can muffler; he must purchase both the most expensive, grossly disproportionate, & ugly ground effects he can finance. Not only does he tax his finances beyond his earnings in the next five years; he must repair it on a weekly basis from his weekly foray's over the speed bumps at the local watering hole know as Wall Mart. I could continue..... But, I think you get the point.....;)

Honestly, the sound of a V8 will still become apparent even if you decide to put dual phart cans on the Mustang. Sound waves + V8 pulses will not change too much no matter the type muffler used.....
P.S. I recall a road race influenced yellow "aero-stang" that was featured in MM&FF about a year ago with dual carbon fiber phart cans exiting out the rear. It looked sweet except for the phart cans; they did not "grow on me" at all.....

Rice is attitude. To them it's a lifestyle full of bling and a lot shiz talking. Anthing with huge wing's, huge exhaust and less than 2.0l's that run's 16sec 1/4 mile time's is rice.
If you have to completely gut the interior of your car,you have a racing team with shirt's and sticker's, and your cousin is your "ricer babe", you run a 16.5 with "all motor" written on the back of your window. Then you are a ricer.
If you have built a fast import with tastefull mod's your a gearhead, hot rodder, etc etc.

that is a pretty good summary. This is also broad topic.
In regard to the cars themselves, *any* car can be riced. Import or domestic. The Ford Focus's (or is that Focii?) are a modern ricer target these days.
Mike pointed out an interested point though. Because it is a social environment (read: the MTV generation kidz), the young girls today do seem to flock to these ricer cars. It can almost be related to fashion. What's popular, what's hot right now. Big wings, loud paint jobs, lots of stickers, bling bling wheels, etc. All loudly displayed in todays movies and tv shows.
Look no further than 'pimp my ride' on what else, MTV. Target audience, 18-24. What do the cars look like when they are done? All pimped out. :pimp:
There are plenty of ways to own a quick and subtle import. In my area, there is a black, early 90's eclipse that run's in the 11's. No stickers. no rediculous wheels, no strobes in the headlights. He spent his $$ on motor & turbo upgrades, better tires, etc.
I wish they were all like that.

The problem with "ricers" is inexperience!!! They rely on what others do, and in their case it has snowballed into everyone doing it wrong.
People read magazines, catalogs, and go on the internet and take what they read as truth.
Example:
Cold air intake 15-20 horsepower
Underdrive Pullies 10-15 horsepower
Cat back exaust 15-20 horsepower
Adj. cam pulley 10-15 horsepower
Adj. fuel press. reg. 10-15 horsepower
Chip 15-20 horsepower
By their thinking they added at least 75 horsepower to their ride.
But those who know how it really works would beg to differ.
Don't get me wrong, their are alot of extremely fast ones out there, but the majority have no clue.
The bad part is the rice craze isn't exclusive to imports, there are loads of american cars out there that can be put into that catagory.
In my opinion "rice" is a state of mind dictated by the person, not by the type of car!!!!!

01-28-2005, 04:37 PM
I read an interesting artical, with sales oriented research, that basically laid out the x-generation's method of buying various products. It seems "they" are the type that are totally reliant on other people's opinions, what information is readily advertized or discussed on the internet, & what info they recieve over thier palm pilots from relatives. Thier lives are fast & furious. Therefore they do not have time to spend allocating time for actually looking seriously at real examples of the product's performance & experiencing firsthand how the product functions. Customer service is the next "big thing on thier list according to the artical; a buisness will win or lose the "x-gen customer" once they first walk into the facility\sales lot. Funny, with micro-management, tighter payrolls, & less staffing in buisness today.... I'm trying to understand what level of customer service they require & expect?;)

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.

OMG that is so funny because there was this car in the junkyard that had the stuff you use to make radiator covers for a grille. A real DIY job.
It went well with the white-out accented dash accessories though.

As for the women who are drawn to "ricers" are just scared of hotrod horse power. This dose not apply to all, examples being our very own admin, and pilly5.0, :tu: just to name a few.
On another note a friend of mine has a ford 93 Probe GT, that he is about to super charge. The thing is fun enought to ride in now, but with say 10 ounds of boost it will be a blast. :twisted: And no it doesn't have said wing, stickers, or a "obnixios" fart can, "but the one on it came from previous owner".

I kinda feel sorry for todays youth. One of the main reasons they put all this effort into compact and import style cars is that there isnt a majority of v-8 muscle cars on the road anymore. But then again, if they were smart enough they would pass on the import and wait for a real car to come along.

In a way its better that they do these terrible things to the imports than to something like a mustang or whatnot. I mean take the 86 GT convertible I just sold (the one we had bought for a project) the guy who owned it gave it to his son and what was the first thing he did? "Customize" the GREY interior with that stone effect texture spray paint crap. The console, destroyed. The dash bezels, ruined. Kick panels? Yeah he got those too.
I say let them do that to their hondas and toyotas, and leave the muscle cars to the people who appreciate them.
For instance:

A ricer to me is someone who
is on a "budget"...they can't afford much so they go out and spend between 15K-19k + on a new honda.
their attitude thinks that there is a replacement for displacement and that they don't want to drive a gas guzzling V8 when in reality once their honda racks up high miles, they'll only get 17-21 or 22 miles per gallon. :roll:
My friends 97 civic, it's about a 12 gallon tank, he can't get more then 250 miles per tank and thats going realllllly easy on the gas. Thats a whole 20 mpg, I can milk that out of my 86 no problem. When I had a civic I was getting between 18 and 21mpg, both cars were between 50k and 70k miles, I just drove my friends early 90's accord and it gets a whole 17mpg.
So yea, they save money by getting a car that is "good on gas" and they got m@d 3L1t3 drifting skills y0 and they think it's all about the dual over head cam shafts and their honda handles better then our 5.slow ruststang and hey "my honda may not be as fast as your ruststang but lets go auto -x and i'll whoop your butt any day". and it's all about shoving 17 and 18 inch rims on a car that is already slow and you slam it so low that you can barely get up your driveway (my co-worker) and you don't really know what that dufrat modulating refragilator does but you know it adds 25 HP because the summit catalog told you so. You gotta get the 200 dollar spark plug wires, gotta make sure you got good spark, it's worth an extra 5 hp. And if you wanna be real trick, you get some of them there B-M-W head lights and figure out a way to make them work on your civic.
thats a ricer

[b[Philly5.0girl[/b], that mustang is awful with the Honda tag on the back. I've seen model mis-identification, but not manufacturer mis-identification.
A 'ricer' to me is somebody who adds stickers, plastic and noise to a vehicle with no performance increase. They also typically have the attitude that they want to race you from every stop light.
I've noticed the behaviour that they'll drive a little bit over the speed limit, not enough to get pulled over, but just enough so that they cruise past you on suburban roads. I sometimes wonder if this is a win for the guy in the Civic, or even the Hyundai or Dodge Stratus. Yes, there is a Dodge Stratus around here with a huge wing bolted to the trunk. I'll drive a little over the speed limit, but these guys will make sure to go a little bit faster. You are just not worth my time.
they got m@d 3L1t3 drifting skills y0
yeah leet speak is ****
and they think it's all about the dual over head cam shafts and their honda handles better then our 5.slow ruststang and hey "my honda may not be as fast as your ruststang well just spend another 10k on yer car and it just might be but lets go auto -x and i'll whoop your butt any day"
only because the vast majority of stangs are built to hook hard at the strip and that can damage the cornering characteristics... we know this but they dont seem to get it.
I am going to remove the "lift bars" in place of steeda's 5-link 2 system down the road to improve it cornering for this reason. We may move to Florida in a few years then I'll look into a road track set-up, something I've always wanted to do, amateur hour here, but hey its a burning itch I need to scratch..
I have been thinking and it seems it’s also a generational gap. I have 2 small kids (1 and 3) and they are going to be raised with a wrench in one hand and a computer in the other (ya know “ Great you have 30 auto mechanics experience, but can you type?") but it seems a lot of these kids are just suburbanite posers. Sure some may actually pursue it to a knowledgeable carrier, but in general I bet most will just move on to other media induced “flavour of the month” hobbies.

The only thing I can say is to not lump all imports or sport compacts as ricers. Being from So-Cal I've seen my fair share of rice (heck, one of my good friends is the creator of riceboypage.com), but there are also the legitimate pocket rockets. A buddy of mine had a 95-ish Civic VX hatch (aka super light) with a built B18 Integra motor and full road race suspension. It was bone stock appearing except for the wheels and stance. No fart tip either, just a free flowing exhaust with normal size tip.
http://threewheeling.f0e.net/misc/IMG_4857.jpg
He took it to the local dragstrip once with me and he was running mid 13s at the track. This was at a ****ty track (Carlsbad) with a super stiff road racing suspension. This was back when my car was running low 15s, so I had to respect that.
Unfortunately a tire went down on him while racing at Sear's Point and he hit a ditch and rolled it. Thank goodness for a rollcage. He swapped the suspension and drivetrain into another Civic shell which was just as quick but it got stolen.
So don't laugh at every Civic you see.

Honda engines are know for wearing out very quickly under modification.
I see them all the time blowing blue smoke.
Opposite lock fishtails are not as fun in a honda.
My stang has 165,000 miles and still loves high rpm blasts.
Honda's usually wont even race me stoplight to stoplight.
They rev their fart coffee cans up then get spanked.
Got torque?
anyone who builds and accualy races isnt a ricer, imo those guys are well - enthusiasts who accualy love cars, they happen to choose imports or what have you.
A buddy of mine says fords are junk, another says all but chevy - my cousin is a mitsubishi kind of guy etc etc.

But i will have to admit that my last drag car was a 93 probe gt that had a body kit on it (but not the the park bench style wing) i ran 75hp nitrous jets on it and it would pull from stock gt stangs at the strip every time.the car was a great but i got greedy and jumped up the jet to 125hp shot the probe made one pass on race gas and that was all she wrote for the probe.i will also add that some of your rice brands are fast cars about 2% of them so my thought on what a ricer is anyone who trys to make his/her car fast but really it just looks fast and any moron on a moped :burnout: cold out run a ricer from light to light or from the tree to the big end

I only drive my V8 car on the weekend. My daily driver is a 4-pot Mazda, because 200 miles a week at $2.00+ a gallon is no good in a sub-20 mpg car!

RICE to me = a JAP made auto.
Not ment as an insult. Just a refrence to an auto that's made /designed engineered /influenced by the japs . I own two of them and feel they are done tastefully. as for what i've been reading most everyone thinks rice is stickers,popcorn makers,bi and tri plane wings with a few mods and dash paint!!! I agree that those cars ugly as $&*t but hey , they think they look good n go fast so be it!!!!!!!gotta admit though it's a blast shooting them down like it's a moped.......gotta love the expressions on their faces sitting next to their girlfriend thats produced at the next light after seeing them in all three mirrors with very little effort from the american powerplant (if they don't sheepishly hit the turn signal to get away from you) sorry about the rambling .

Rice = ANY car thats over done to the point of idiocy.
Rice = ANY owner that thinks his stock fox with a couple 40 series and a K&N is hot ****.
Rice = ANY punk kid in an import with the obligatory upside down visor, a fart pipe and an erector set wing.
As far as I'm concerned, if you're cocky about a 14 second car, your Rice. If you have $15,000 tied up in "modz" to a car that runs 14s, you're Rice. If you have a tasteful looking Civic Hatch that runs low 14s and you're not a tool about it, you're cool.
There used to be a guy that ran around KC in a red mid 90s Civic hatch that ran low 13s all motor, looks 100% stock down to the wheels....if you looked inside, it was gutted, just front seats, carpet and a dash/heater.
He was cool too.
Or maybe the guy with a turboed/nitrous'd Festiva that runs low 13s....he's cool as hell.
Cars are the lead in to Rice, but the owner is what seals the deal.

That's just it. They don't go fast. They just want the image of going fast. That's the definition of rice right there (go visit www.riceboypage.com ).
So a stock looking Civic that goes fast like I posted is not rice.

I believe someone in this post said this new generation "x" is ricer based.
well i being 17 beg to differ . Ive seen The fast in the furious and in no way was i attracted to the import crase, I actually felt more compelled to finish my mustang off and Show them honda lovin ricers a thing or two. On top of that most of these ricers are giving the money to do these impractable mods big wings, fart cans, etc... by there fathers who should rip the big wings off there kids cars and beat some domestic sense into them. oh well we can all be happy that the ricer generation is slowly coming to an end.

I really have nothing against imports, it's the dorks who drive them.
if these people had no imports, they'd buy the "General Lee" Dukes of Hazzard car and cover it in stickers and LED lights, and a 5000 watt stereo in the back.
I think it's a problem of "To-Much-Money-Not-Enough-Brains"
what would lead a person to think a car would go fast because it has
20lbs of stickers and a huge rear wing on a front wheel drive?
here's an idea if they challenge you to a road track race, take them up on
it! with that big wing lifting their front wheels of the ground, you'll
most likely win.
to hotrodders and most automotive enthusiasts, when they look at a car
they see the lines,clean, well executed mods that look like the came from the factory or could have.
to ricers and most wannabes, when they look at a car they see a place to put the stickers they get in the box of injector cleaner their moms just bought them at wal-mart. and when their grandma gives them $500.00 for turning 18 they buy the biggest, ugliest wing (more places to put the pennzoil stickers) there is no thought of accenting what's already there!
nitrous is cheap power, instead of going through tearing the motor apart
porting and polishing, stroking & boring, they simply call the dealership
and order a mugen sticker!
gotta go i'll be in the garage putting stickers on my toolbox, my friends think it's the fastest toolbox they ever seen!

Rice?
Attempting to goad someone into a street race at 5pm in rush hour bumper to bumper traffic with no concern for anyone around.
Definitely rice.

Just watch the video, it would have pretty much wrapped up this whole thread.
whoever did the editing did a great job. My favorite part is the kid who drives over the curb and smashes into other peoples cars at a gathering. Listen to the f-banging and cursing. I bet he got the tar beaten out of him.

ahh man that was great....
there was some parts of that vid that i thoroughly enjoyed. one part was when someone did a ricer flyby and when he did that, he simply lost control and looked like that limo was going to hit him. the other was when the guy done a donut and when he came out, a cop saw him and pwn3d him right there
stupidity at its finest

Twas last friday night and caught at the light,
Was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight,
I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor,
To beat this damn Mustang, even with its juiced motor,
As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The Mustang erupts in clouds of white tire smoke,
Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,
Racing ahead I'm the star of the action,
But I know I'm in trouble when V8 gets traction,
Grabbing second, I hear the RPM's sing,
My mirror is blocked by my shopping kart wing,
I now hear the roar of the big monster gaining,
All I can do is keep the four-banger straining,
In a second, the shock wave hits with a blast,
And my stickers go flying now a thing of the past,
Don't bother with third, cause now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,
Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler,
"You can't win them all," he says in fling,
"You may not win any, in that silly thing,"
I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight,
With my new mods tomorrow…it will be a better night
