lol. those fake drilled rotors.

oh man. ive had a *good* experience with them.

first time i ever went to my girlfriends place, when she lived with her parents. blue vt commo sitting out the front, with fake blue rotors. i think to my self "oh lawd" then i see a red barina in the driveway.. yes, a BARINA..... with red fake rotors... i laughed so f**king hard....

its worse, coz her 50 year old dad, who has been a mechanic for eleventy billion years put them on there...

lol nice thread.

this is what i think a ricer is, feel free to correct/add to it.

a ricer is a driver who puts on 'unneccassary mods'.

for eg. a GT wing on a lancer. even when a wing doesnt come into play until above 150km/h.

a ricer is also a person who knows nothing about cars and acts like they do giving advice.

here is a ricer

ok so "the pulley pulls the turbo making it spool the drizzle?"

That is just disturbing. How can anyone be that stupid?

BTW, I'm installing a new 100hp pulley onto my turbo tomorrow...

generally if sumone says hahaha only milk and juice comes in 2 litres i yell and say its a 2.6 ya fag and thats f**kin quick milk

Easy to beat - only cheap goon comes in 5 litres.

That being said, i have an atmo falcon that eats rice for breakfast. well... you know what i mean.

My opinion of it. Is "wannabe" cars. Where the modifications attempt to make the car into something else. i.e gts's with gtr kits and badging. Fake Evo kits, Type R badging. Shopping lists, T- Wing spoilers on cars that never see the track, bonnet scoops that lead to nothing (dont assist cooling/intake), chrome hubcaps, exterior neon/led lighting on a car that ever see's a carshow, fake brakes, Atmo BOV's on non extreme cars, etc.

Every modified car is different, some look cheap and tacky with there exterior mods (rice) some look awesome (my opinion saying that these become not rice and reaching into other catergories in the car scene.)

Anything pretty

Anything that doesn't contribute to the performance of the car

The most common one is rice lights. They're everywhere, vans, utes (sorry mini trucks) excels.

Aftermarket gear knob, definitely rice. Whats wrong with the stocker? If it falls apart and starts cutting up your hand, fair enough.

Most of the wheels on the market, rice. I'm willing to accept my 17x9.5 +15 NS01's are rice. They are my street rims and are only there to look pretty. My track rims are mis matched second hand pieces of crap that i don't care about so i can repair with a hammer if necessary

Big stereo, rice, on a few levels that i won't go into

tints, rice. wear sunglasses and park in the shade. save that 25 grams in added weight.

spoilers of any description are generally rice. Most do nothing to improve the performance of the car. A spoiler on a factory car, factory rice. A spoiler on a car that never sees the track, just rice.

big brakes with alloy hats and mono block calipers can be rice in certain situations. If the car never gets driven hard whats the point of having them other than because they look tough as hell?

When ever you can see that form is being placed ahead of function you can reasonably call it rice.

My friends and i all track our cars and are fairly serious about it. We have a pretty harsh definition of rice.

There is a difference between tacky or stupid and nice looking cars. Go to a car show, a lot of the cars there have very little in the way of performance mods, but they look good. The owners know what is classy and nice and what is just down right discusting. GT-R badges on a stock GTS is just wrong. Type-R badges as well. Neons on a stock Gemini (The lights are worth more than the car!) or LED wheel nuts are a big no-no. I think there is two meanings of Rice. Rice as in crappy modified cars that only look good to the eyes of the owners (A face only a mother could love??) and then there is Rice, which is us. And Cruisin33 has kindly volunteered to remind everyone of that. Thanks Dave, we all appreciate it!

This thread's still going :)

Rice: Modifications such as Neons, Fart Cans, Vinyls to give the illusion of speed or a show appearance usually performed on (but not limited to) economy cars...

Rice Burner: What some people call Jap cars...

/thread

now, isnt it a bit shortsighted to class a car from where it comes from?

I agree, just like saying every Commodore driver is a bogan. There are some very nice commodores out there, and some are very ricey! Like one I've seen near my house, white VX with a black roof, panda style! It looked discusting and I nearly threw up.

THAT is rice!

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
