    NO I don't :D I can't stand watching some 1.6 honda civic going down the street sounding like they were about to break the sound barrier while being passed by a school bus.

    Ricer is an insult in the import world.

    Ricer = slow car, absurd modifications that are poorly executed, crappy driver

    Haha, this is the urban dictionary definition for "ricer".





    buy ricer mugs, tshirts and magnets
    (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...

    The orange Supra in The Fast and the Furious? :drool:

    The silver Skyline in 2 Fast 2 Furious? :drool:


    Those 1995 Civics with fake exhaust tips and primered body kits that are way too big for the car? :puke:

    I was in HS in the mid 90s :D I still have friends sporting fixed up imports :D Those guys need to grow up. But to give them credit they were one of the first ricers in socal.

    I like certain imports, but not "ricers."

    There's a difference between "ricers" and doing it right. :p

    The diff is those who can afford it and those who can't and dont know it.
