PM-R33 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Since when is having a nicely detailed engine bay a bad thing? Fair enough you can go a bit overboard with chrome, but even then it can still look very nice. Dahtone's engine bay comes to mind in looking incredible with a lot of polished parts. Lol about a TV screen though. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353129-ricer-engine-bays/#findComment-5660102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:: GimpS-R34 ::. Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Don't think it's a bad thing.. I think there are the 'sleeper' guys who go for the "what mods does it have officer.. it's just stock" look.. Dahtone was gonna be my example.. Looks great..

Tony de Wonderful Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm thinking it has to do with brightly coloured hoses etc, whereas V8's etc prove their manhood with chrome and subdued colours?

Bronx Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 not a ricer, but thats the only type of engine bay i can think of that looks daaamn clean Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353129-ricer-engine-bays/#findComment-5662052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony de Wonderful Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 not a ricer, but thats the only type of engine bay i can think of that looks daaamn clean Not a big fan of 'dubber' engine bays. I mean they look good but it's all smoke and mirrors with the wires and everything tucked out of view. Actually working on the car and troubleshooting would be a bitch and so for me it's the ultimate 'show' look. Real cars otoh are made to be USED.

bubba Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Clean and tidy engine bays isn't RICE. To me, R.I.C.E. stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements.. So things like, pod filters, big gay atmo bov's, coil covers with stupid logos/designs, painting everything up when it's all stock componentry etc. I think R.I.C.E. is more generally found on the outside of a vehicle.. bigass wings, shopping lists, 6" cannons on 2" pipes, neons, graphics etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353129-ricer-engine-bays/#findComment-5663056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad082 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 rice engine bay = you pop the bonnet and every single thing screams "look at me!!!" whether it is a performance mod or something normal made to look like it is a performance mod, such as an anodised oil filler cap. basically when standard items have been replaced with something brightly coloured for no apparent reason Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353129-ricer-engine-bays/#findComment-5675965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
