1. Rice car - An automobile, generally of import classification, that is souped up and characterized by use of stickers and decals that do not match any manufacturer of the car, spoilers that look like airplane landing gear, and hideous paintjobs and fart cans.rocket.

2. RICE - stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement.

Originally, for me, either Cobalts or Neons are not rice cars. But if someone do the above things to ANY cars, then it become a rice car.

Take a look at need for speed underground.. You'll soon see that the dodge neon was a very fast car... And for some reason drift really good too

Ahh underground.... The main reason I've always wanted a skyline.

Do you think actually being fast means something is not a ricer? That would mean a 400hp Silvia is not a ricer. I disagree.

The main reason I think Cobalts and Neons are ricers...

Bit of a grey area, But i'd happily label them as riced when they all 'tricked' out

WTF are you talkin' bout, Willis?

Rice comes from Rice, as in the stuff that Jap cars run on. A rice mobile is a Japanese built vehicle that's covered in shit. It's not an acronym.

By the very definition a Cobalt or Neon can't actually be a Ricer as they are not built in Japan however I think the term has broadened to capture any vehicle which you typically see which is as slow as a wet week and tarted up like a slurry getting ready for a night under the red light.

What are you talking about? :wacko:

That's exactly what I said. :blink:

So first you are saying only Japanese cars can be riced up, and then said any vehicles can be riced up?? FAIL. :down:

i'm pretty sure that the "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" acronym was invented well after rice was a common term.

imho, rice is rice, whether the car is US, EU, JP or UK etc etc

Nice comprehension.

You said RICE is some shitty acronym. It's not. The term Rice came from the early 90's and it was a derogatory term to describe JAPANESE built cars which were slow and covered in wings and stickers and shit. They were called Rice cause they were Japanese built and "ran on rice" which is also taking the piss.

Technically a US built car can't be "rice" as it was not built in Japan (where cars run on rice) however the vernacular has now expanded to include all cars which look like a harlot after a night on the Breezers. So I'd say in this day and age the Cobalt and Neons can be considered Rice.

Yes, I agree with you. It could have been.

Sorry my bad, I forgot to mention that "RICE - stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement" is something I picked up on the internet, not something I made up.

Yes.

But they have to be slow (Not that slow) and covered in wings and stickers and shit. Not stock. Stock cars are not "riced", are they? :P

Correctamundo.

I assumed to OP was referring to these cars, should they have had stupid looking shit stuck all over them.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
