It could be worse. It's pretty simplistic, and has a few inaccuracies. Still, I give them credit for admiting that preformance is only a minor aspect of the scene. At least it wasn't as stupid as the Fast and the Furious.

Another inspiration to my ricer handbook.
I bet that if I wrote a book on ricers, including the different species, habbits and such.
I would probably sell to the millions.

I actually have alot of respect towards HSW but this is indeed something they should have written differently.

OK, I may be the "noobiest" person in this topic, probably because I'm not that good in cars. But why are you hating this guy so much?

For thoe who missed it . . .

It was basically an article on how to 'tune' imports. They were encouraging people to put ricey bodykits on their cars and use lame performance enhancments.

I see... Well thanks for the early update Bogan! Probably I missed it.

And they posted pictures of ricers.. Claiming that they were tuners.:'D

Sweeper · Post by **Sweeper** » 25 Apr 2005, 10:56

I wonder if they got a lot of hate mail?
LOL, it is sad for RX-7 owners to be identified with rice, if you call them a ricer...
Well, don't expect a warm approach as they are easily offended...
