RICER!!!!!

When you say a certain car is 'rice', has been 'riced', or is a 'ricer', it's usually because of ridiculous/gaudy body modifications with, more often than not, no performance modifications regardless of make or model.

I have a different interpretation, but who really cares anyway? Bring it back to the topic please - dissing pics of riced out cars, whatever your own personal interpretation of that is.

totally wrong. let me tell you since you clearly don't understand:

Oriental imports are the only cars called ricers. The reason this became is because the natives of Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and China eat a lot of rice in their meals. It became an american thing as far as my knowledge goes that we started calling their cars "rice burners". Then knowing how we all like to shorten things, we eventually just started calling them "ricers". So technically though not an actual brand of vehicles, it still is a 'type' of car Grez.

Pretty arrogant post, especially considering my experience with vehicles absolutely towers over yours, and im part of so many world-wide car clubs Ive lost count.

''Rice burners'' is actually derived from old Japanese race cars, which were run on an ingredient made largely of rice. While crude, it was a cheap equivalent of methanol, a race fuel. So, technically speaking, calling something a ricer is actually the opposite of the meaning it holds today, which is function over form.

The term ricers was then spread largely by the V8 crowd, as a derogatory statement about the ever-increasing amount of imports. However, it has since spread to mean any car which has been modified crudely, and with a lack of taste. Seeing as the car can be of any origin, its more a state of mind as to who would do it, rather than a make of vehicle. Hence, my original post.

Sorry for being off-topic, but it seems a little odd that people are laughing at the word 'rice', when they clearly dont know what it means.

I also saw somewhere that R I C E can stand for Race-Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Probably BS, but who gives a monkey's.

Anyway, back on topic - BBC Top Gear's "Carbage" page is one of the best sources for rice, whatever your interpretation. I just love that estate car that the guy has slapped bits of cardboard on - didn't even bother painting it. Must try and find it again.

Ewww that pic what PSZeTa posted is ugly dam people should be shot if they made a car like that or that Pink one

or just be punched in the head

Post by **TheStig** » 21 Jul 2006, 19:04

Don't really think the 205 is a ricer, it is just a girl with a bucket of pink paint... and a old car... combine that and that's the result...
If the car had a chimney as a exhaust and some decals and shiznit... then... it would be a diffirent story

Don't forget, even official companies make 'rice', like Veilside.

And yet, their Supra are actually beautiful, despite having less performance.

And besides, I hate the word 'rice'.

How did you work that out?

Veilside kits may not be designed with 100% performance in mind, but they are still more aerodynamic than a stock bodykit.

The Veilside Supra has ''less performance''? Than what? B/c as I recall, their demo car was circa 1000bhp.

i actually dont think that that body kit looks bad...imo the wrong thing with that car is the colors they chose and the way they painted it...i thought the car looked bad too but then i saw the movie and thought it wasn't so bad...and i've seen a whole lot worse in a rx-7

t3ice · Post by **t3ice** » 10 Aug 2006, 16:19

Haha...ur right about the colours...The ppl from the movie chose them.
The originals were black and maroon ...also here is another one in black and silver

Looks like a severely b*ggered old style BMW 5 series to me. Just going by the pillar behind the rear doors. I wonder if those jet engines actually work
