i think the term rice boy gets thrown around to freely these days, people in america made up the term "rice boy", "rice burner" to make fun of the japanese car seen but now in australia it seems if you have stickers on your car if your a P plater the you are a

" rice boy" . The reason i bring this up i was thinking of getting a sticker kit to go down my gaurds , you know the one HKS GREEDY APEXI TRUST...... i have many japanese parts fitted to my car and have organised with Yokoharma Australia to put decales on my car when i get my Advans from them, but the fear of people saying look at that rice boy is to great that iv put it of and japanese drift cars they look ****ing mad with all the stickers some are a bit over board but the high level ones are very nice indeed.

So mabey people can hold of one all the rice boy shit its getting old and i for one am sick of it.

Dude. I think a lot of people will agree with me that Rice Boys tend to have.

1. Honda

2. Fake EVO

2. Hyundai

3. Anything else made in Korea/Former Soviet Eastern Bloc Nation.

These cars usally

1. Try to look like a WRX/GT4/EVO

2. Don't go fast even though the owners think they do

3. Have an exhaust tip/neons tip or a 3" system on a 900cc Suzuki

4. a must have is the 5" monster Tach for max Riceness.

So unless your trying to look fast and the furious ghey you'll be right.

Im just saying its a term that the V8 boys made up to hang shit on us jap car owners and everyone seems to use it against everyone else.

i was always under the impression, that "rice" cars, where those that where more focused on comestics, and the looks did not really reflect the speed of the car, ie, the neons, 5 inch tach, stickers, kits and the rest.

I myself have been called rice, but i dont take offence to it cause thats what my car is at the moment, an NA skyline that has a kit neons, but no huge tacho, all things that i have done to my car as i wanted to. Modding a car is personal expression, its up to u to decide what u like and do it without having to car what others think. Soon my car will go fast, and no longer be just rice, but ive been happy with it so far.

Bottom Line, if u like it, DO IT!

Just my 2c's

Cheers

John

i wouldn't consider that rice.....

'RICE' has lost it's meaning nowadays....it's like the newest catchphrase for anyone who wants to bag out some1 else's car....

For me...'RICE' is not rice if you've got the hardware to back it up...

imho rice is when you have the looks that don't justify the parts.

Most often stickers that don't really add to the car are what I think ricy... eg flame decals etc along the side of the car that are as attention grabbing as possible. I like decals and paintjobs, but it has to be subtle and flow with the rest of the car (not images of people pointing their finger towards the front like in fnf). Hot rodders did it a long time ago (since 1950's) but they did it with style etc. The vinyl era's ruined most of that.

As for brand graphics along the door sill, I love it, but I hate to see parts on the side that aren't in the car. Let alone earning the title of ricer you also look like a grand wanka when it sez "Bride" on the side and you got stock seats inside. But when done artistically and not butchered it adds to the aggressiveness of the cars.

Big banners across windscreens like "NISMO" are a big rice point. Especially on VL commodores lol (there's a guy down my street with this).

But yeah, do your car up the way you want your car to look. Its your car after all. What's eyecandy for you might not be the same for me and vice versa.

I only call sum1 a ricer if... they talk big but can't show shit for their talk when it comes to their car like: "Oh i have a 2000 dollar pearl paintjob on my GTSt"... on checking paint code on the car "Blue metallic pearl" stock paintjob. or... "My car is capable of 180rwkw man, my mate was able to do it in his so so can I"... "dude you drive a stock Auto R33 GTSt with bonnet grills that don't have holes cut out in the bonnet for... nigga please"

that's what I'd consider ricer activity, not brand names on the side.

I wouldn't call that "ricey as hell". As you said, "Jap style" would be a better description.

Personally I like the look of that car because it is not overdone. Being white makes it look classy or something.

I just can't understand people who spend thousands on bodykit and monster tach etc on a mechanically stock Hyundai Excel.

18" wheels with 6" drum brakes visable???!?!? Gimme a break!!

Someone has a signature that sums it up. It goes something like...

LOOKS > GO = RICE.

GO > LOOKS = Sleeper

I know which one I would prefer...

i personally think some sticker designs look the goods. Do whatever you like to your car. I think its better to have some aftermarket bits to coincide with the stickers... but if you dont .. whatever... some cars going around sporting the sticker look are rather nice..... ive got a few ideas in mind for my own.

fair enough, but what if some one does up the exel, lancer what ever and it looks the goods but still is mech standed, whos to say its not fast enough madey the single cam 1.8 is to much power for them so the just want to make it look good. There has to be some sort of respect to some one that can turn a standed mums shopping trolley into some thing that he can cuze with pride, dont you think. Like you park a standed r34 GTR and a standed exel side buy side with ones going to get more atention. But then you spend the remaning $90,000 on the exel then which one will people like more.

There isn't anything wrong with the graphics, as i drive a nice honda civic, and yes i would say that it looks like crap but it has some character now with the graphics on the side. For example my car has the graphic from the VW Jedda on fnf, but they will be coming off soon as i am currently designing my new graphics which will be going on the car, will post a pic here later.

But there isn't anything wrong with the graphics on the side of the car it gives a small car some form of looks and character.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
