Performance stickers are the DEFINITION of rice :(

"Rice" is the undertaking of modifications that do not actually increase the performance of his car by any significant amount, but rather, try to give the appearance of high-performance.

Have a read of the website from the guy who INVENTED the word.

http://www.riceboypage.com/

I quote:

Most Rice-Boy cars (or "Rice Rockets") have the usual complement of stickers proudly displaying features that the car might or might not have

Posted by the_paladin about Rice:

"Mods with no performance enhancement.........or a lack of ballance between performance mods and cosmetic mods.............

for instance.........HKS sticker = RICE. HKS sticker on a car with a HKS turbo in it = not rice!"

I got a HKS turbo :( intercooler and lots of other stuff

Ahh damn, I said yes, and then voted, then just after I saw the and lame too .. can I change it? Please.

I think one sticker would be fair enough, on your rear windscreen or something, but along the door looks ricey no matter how many dollars are in your car.

90% of stickers are rice

But if you actually have a peroformance part, and have some common sence on where to position the sticker, then i spose its ok..

If i bought a HKS T51R ide put all the HKS stickers i want, but for those who buy a blitz turbo timer and cover their car in blitz stickers suck ass

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
