What is the motivation for people to rice out REALLY nice cars? I see them everywhere... and it almost brings tears to my eyes when I see an RX7 or Skyline on fat chromies with horrible "custom" interiors that look more suited to a porn video set.

I love the clean look of a stock s2 R33 the best out of almost all the jap import group and they seem to be targeted the heaviest by ricing...

Does anyone have any idea what possesses people into doing this, do they just want to stand out? Do they think it looks good? Or am I the only one who finds 20" chromies and bright pink cars ugly?

All cars would look all the same if everyone had the same tastes.

its funny how "ricers" actually refers to all japanese car drivers, not a particular way a car is modded

it started in the US and was used by the muscle car guys when referring to the import guys.

to me rice is when someone puts shit on their car thats serves no purpose, or to make the car look like something its not

ie: stripped out interior, rollcage, harnesses etc etc on a street car that never sees the track

kandy paint, leather trim and big rims isn't rice, its just a different style of modification

if you cant appreciate different styles of modification your not a true car enthusiast

Agree^^

Everyone has their own styling methods and tastes when putting stuff on/in their car. Some people can be a little forward with 'their' opinions on what they think suits some one else's vehicle. I personally am not a fan of chrome wheels or stickers but i dont judge.

this is wat you would call SEX-SPEC....if you notice alot of these people that do cars this way is for a certain reason...for SHOW...if you notice alot of these cars get maximum exposure such as ignition dvd,hot 4's, fast fours,and autosalon mag.....how often do you see a clean stock car on the cover of these mags....it is a different type of style......

I honestly like some sex-spec cars but i now go for that clean sleek look......i use to have 19in vault chromies on my car and cruise around with a few other sex-spec cars but i now like the whole nice street look

Agreed, I keep my 32 very understated, therefore, in my definition, not rice.

Commodore with 20" Chrystal Vaults & neons = rice

Yeah funny how that title was thrown at jap cars for pointless mods...when the funny thing is that most of the muscle cars seem to have just as many if not more stupid mods of their own like.....

Alloy drop tanks on cars that have never/will never see circuit use

Half cage in a car eg SLR 5000's - how many were fitted with half cages that never saw track duty

The old fluffy dice from the mirror-maybe a valiant/monaro thing

V8 Commodore guys removing the Rochester quadrajet and fitting a 600 holley.....Really dumb, Rochy flows 750 cfm standard

Nos stickers on cars without nos

Chev badges on a 253 premier

Monster tachos on a V8 that will only rev to 5500 rpm

Fitting a Ford 9 inch in a car that makes stuff all power

these are just some of the ridiculous things that come to mind..

Honestly the people that go on ignition DVD are pretty big wankers that just want attention ie. "Look how much money I spent on a car!"

So most people think that they just want to show off and be noticed if they're putting big chromies and rice on their car, not because they think it looks good?

whatever makes them happy...

at the end of the day its their own project on how they would think their car would look the best, on the ricer forums they probably say your cars look plain and boring..

You don't just get to go on Ignition DVD for the sake of seeking attention.

Big chromies, full on interiors....whatever. I think your overlooking the whole rice theory here. Slap a wing on a commodore then....well. Driving around with your new primer finish body kit for weeks. Installing a front mount and not bothering to put the front bar back on for month. There is a huge amount of 'rice' things people can do. But who lays down the rice law? Life would be pretty boring if we all shopped at the same store for clothes.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
