What is RICE???? Does it refer to only adding cosmetic stuff to your car or is there more to it.

Also isnt it personal preference??

i actually thought RICE referred to something like, putting a scoop on ur bonnet even tho its not super charged / turbo and adding un-nccesary vents in all kids of places lol

can some one please explain this to me...

'Rice' to me is pretty much and anything that makes your car look better without giving any performance. So a huge bodykit on a car that never reaches 150kmh+ is useless, so rice. Stickers to show off your shopping list (I think it's to make people think that you've got the parts), but rice.

So pretty much any bullshit add ons that doesn't help your performance in any way.

rice(rīs)

n.

  1. A cereal grass (Oryza sativa) that is cultivated extensively in warm climates for its edible grain.
  2. The starchy grain of this plant, used as a staple food throughout the world.

or this??

(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.

Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

I saw this Acronym once and I reckon it pretty much sums it up.

Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements

Alot of people call anything Japanese rice esp the V8 fan boys which I think is incorrect.

That's actually pretty good. Haven't heard of that one before.

I think most people think 'rice' as in it's known as an Asian food, Jap's are Asians...

LOL thats a good one.

To me RICE = placing objects on the car which serve no purpose.

Basicaly just for looks. BTW I have see a few Ford XR8 with this ugly black air scoop on the bonnet. I'm sure its fake but if anyone knows let me know cuz it looks rice.

Guess you can say we calling someone with a VE Clubsport R8 / GTS a cashed up bogan. :D

lol that's assuming the changes are actually "enhancements"

The epitomy of rice to me is a GT wing on a civic or commodore,

wankers who put chevvy badges on their commos

GTS owners who put GTR bages on their lines

honda owners who put red H badges on their garden variety civic or integra

Chromies

Little <2.0L buzzboxes with bodykits and wheels with a milo tin hanging off the rear bar sounding like a wet fart down the street as their auto box shifts from 2nd to 3rd

need I continue?

As my understanding has it, the term rice was originally used as the term "rice burner" referring to Japanese cars, this in turn led to "rice" or "riced up" cars referring to japanese car owners who added bodykits exhausts, big wings and decals on their cars ala fast and furious style

anyone have a different opinion?

Yep, 100% agree with that. It's just now that 'rice' refers to kitted lancer's, etc. We've gotten used to having heaps of Jap cars everywhere.

Let me make it simple for you...

RICE refers to ASIANS as ASIANS eat rice pretty much all the time just like the bloody Indians appreciate their Curry (and there's nothing wrong with these normalities)...

Now, most ASians drive hotted up Sports cars.... most are ALL SHOW and no farken GO... some examples, you say? OK, a lancer with an loud farty exhaust, big rims and a full bodykit... it's still a 1.8 litre granny car... or, a CIVIC... I farken hate CIVICS, especially the hatchback ones... the same, exhaust, stickers, lights, fake recaro seats etc and they think they own the god damn world... big wings, little gadgets inside that do absolutely nothing but looks racey.... that's RICE.

Enough said... I'm going to have some rice now.... yumm.....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
