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

I always thought that it came from them being powered by rice warmer engines.

Anyway, I think rice is a style. I don't think that being fast excludes Skylines etc. from being ricers. Even stock.

I think these days rice extends to everything 'tuner' except muscle cars because they have their own category. But even some of them are becoming ricey with massive sound systems and 22" chrome wheels etc. (hardly the grey coated torque thrusts they should have). I've heard European ricers called tators (Potato).

I think a stock car can be a ricer though. Especially if it's sport version of a regular car like the Cobalt SS and Neon SRT4 above. They're definately designed for the ricer market too.

originally any sporty japanese car with a small engine was considered rice, reguardless of whether it was kitted out or slow. you could have a stock car that was fast, but if it was japanese and had a small engine then it was rice.

times have changed though. now rice means a car that has stupid mods. this can be a car from any country and the car can still be fast or slow. you can have a worked skyline that is still considered rice if the mods are over the top. or you can have a commodore that is rice. the only thing is that the lines get blurred a lot. for example, a cannon exhaust on a silvia or skyline or evo, but put a cannon or a hyundai and it is rice. or you can put a gtr kit on a gts and it's ok, but put an evo kit on a lancer and it's rice. plenty of double standards. i generally try to not discriminate. i think modded natro skylines are just as bad as lancers, etc, lol.

as for the cobalt and neons, in stock form they aren't rice. if modded they can be.

Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.     
    • 5th November if you want to come out for a spin wakfield
    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
