"rice/ricer"

[oldgrezmonke]

o.k. help out an old guy. what the heck does "rice/ricer" mean ?

[htchbck]

the essence of ricer can be defined by four letters... V-T-E-C

[warlocke]

anyone who supes up a honda or toyota or the likes to race and be street legal, basically any car that was forigen made and forign name

[Guest]

there are different definitions, but Uncle Ben's means big wing, huge exhaust tip, decals, neon under car, etc.. but stock or close to stock drivetrain

[Diego]

I don't think it has to be a foreign car. I have seen plenty of Focuses (foci?) and Cavaliers that could be called rice. Check out www.riceboypage.com

My definition would be anything that makes a car look like it's fast, but doesn't actually make it any faster. Stuff like wings, body kits, carbon fiber, and massive mufflers. Also, anything that is done to make a car look like it's from japan. RHD conversions, HID headlights, etc.

cool

[oldgrezmonke]

in other words - overkill

[InjunDon]

I quick definition would be senseless modifications that have no use, function or reason for being on a car. Like a big wing on a FWD car.. or 19" rims on a civic..

Umm that is JDM not ricer. Then I would be a ricer for having euro taillights & 110mph cluster? How about the load of kia parts from korea? Ricer?

Love it!

Anyone who believes that an APC sticker actually will increase horsepower. Anyone who thinks that a civic doing 85 needs the wing to keep stable. Anyone who's pillar gauges actually are a clock, a compass, and a thermometer for inside the car....This we call rice.

No, those sound like useful mods, or actually improve the looks, or getting other useful things that didn't get to the States, like the filler
door popper.

Now if there was stick-on carbon fiber all over, or a coffeecan sized tailpipe on your ride, you'd be rice_Car1

Speaking of, I saw what I think was a Volkswagen station wagon of some kind (what is that, a Golf?) driving down the road yesterday. It was completely stock and jet black, except the front that had a new primer gray body kit that looked like the front of a freight train.

It's too bad my stock Festiva is probably faster. (ok, maybe not, but you get the idea)
