I'm putting my company advertising as a half car vinyl in the near future. Thanks to that decal I can claim depreciation on the car as a tax cut and other fun-dangly things because its an advertising medium.

So... my rice saves me money. Does "real" or "fake" sponsorship do that to yours?

At the end of the day, its to make your car look like a tuning house car, which does infact have the sponsoship etc. If its sitting on your car and not doing anything on it, then its a stupid investment. Whether its rice or not, that's a matter of taste.

If We are all (pretty much) agreed that fake performance stickers = definiton of rice, then is there anything that you guys think should be supplementry to that definition? People are constantly calling those of us who happen to like shiny things (See avaitar, but im not the only one) "Ricers", but by 'definition' are not. If lowering a car that does not get used on a track is NOT rice, then how is it that any other mods that look good, but do not imply any performance gain, also get called rice?

phil --> Just Waitin' for the Flamin'.....

EDIT : That is remarkably hard to read... sorry about that.

well at the moment the definition is an opinion... unless they put it in the dictionary, it's a word we all take differently.

in my opinion it's stuff to make it look fast, as opposed to look good.

with this def your neons are not "rice" they are just good looking things, although saying this will not stop anyone from calling them ricey. lowering your car isn't rice as it decreases body roll... on the track and on the road, and does actually improve the car around corners... looking sweet is healthy addition :D.

the word is ****ing annoying as so much conversation goes on about what it is etc.

If its your car do what you want to it!!! It's yours after all and you’re the person that has to drive it and spend money on it.

very true... each to their own. however, i will reserve the right to laugh at people who have 'performance stickers' on their riced up lancers, civics, corollas etc.

Stickers add to the performance of the car? How? Stickers are usually very slippery, thus when the air passes the sticker it has less resistance than the surface of the panel.

So in short, stickers reduce the aerodynamic co-efficent of the car.

Example. Look at F1 cars. The cars with most sponsorship stickers are the faster cars. Best example the Ferrari's (also red is faster but that's another essay).

Cars like the Jordan and Minardi are slow because they lack stickers. :uh-huh:

:bahaha:

Did you guys know that "HSK" is a Chinese knock-off of HKS? Yep, they've got all sorts of turbos, 'coolers, gear knobs and other shit at 50 - 80% off marked (HKS) prices!!!

You 'lil rippah!!!!!

There is something wrong with the poll...why is there a NO option?

If you haven't noticed commonly these days J-guys have relocated the stickers onto the airbox under the bonnet...box looks plain so why not and keeps the car stickerfree. BTW: stickers on your car is what we J-locals in Japan call stickertune.

Last weekend I came across some stickers which I bought and may stick on the rear window...with a grin reaper logo...it reads "DEATH IS NATURES WAY OF TELLING YOU TO SLOW DOWN!" THere was also another that read "S H I T_the future" :)

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
