Sorry dude, just thought that whoever the guy was that owned the car you put the link up to was either an example of a drug child (no offence if any are reading this), chronic inbreeding (once again - not something someone does by choice), or an argument for compulsory sterilisation - personally I favour the acid theory.

Please don't stop this thread - I really enjoy reading it, and keep up the ricey photos - perhaps we should get a copy of the Ronald Macdonald Toyota in here too?

Here is a thought, start a sticky thread with an invitation to post any example of rice - should be a good way to releive some stress when things get too much, just log on and unwind.

What ya reckon?

Patronising aside, I too think that people should do whatever they want to their car. Just, they better be able to handle constructive criticisms from other (offended) owners.

Ok heres a reason why rice is popular:

Driving down Stirling in Gradenkos old Lancer which BTW had one kikass stereo in it.

He has 2 alpine amps in the boot so therefore he has to have the 'V12' sticker on the back window.

These ppl pull up next to him and the guy looks across and says. "is that a v12 engine" "i thought it would be too small for that"?

Needless to say we didnt stop laughing for around 30mins and he did seem a little insulted as he drove off.

My point is that these are the kind off ppl ricers are trying to impress. COMPLETE MORONS:bahaha:

Ahh yeh i am. The only exception is the M's, now that is a car:drooling:  

U gotta admit for that price range u can do alot better but ppl buy em cause they have a reputation of class. Which is fair enuff if ure 50 and use it as an a-b but if ure 20 and drive a 318i ure just a plain old fashioned poser.

i think ur generalising a bit here. Yes the M's are magnificent cars, 250kw's (or there abouts) out of a 3.2 Straight Six. Very impressive. 294kw's out of a 4.9 V8, very impressive. Where holden manages a meager 225kw out of a 5.7 V8...hmmm, something wrong here.

anyways. I agree with ur 318i, for what u spend on that, you could get a very nice Skyline. But that's where it stops. A 330ci, or 330i, 530i, any of the 7 series, are awesome cars. The handle beautifully, go really well (the 330ci is a quick car) and have awesome brakes. BMW's are known for their handling. But they are not all meant to be sports cars! That's the M's job. Cannot say that ur a poser if u have a BMW (exception of 20 in 318i) They are beautiful cars, and definitely see myself in one when i just wanna cruise.

Respect. BMWs are beautiful cars.In fact, I would say that they are so refined, & so good to drive, that they are one of the best cars around.After driving my R34 around for a couple of hours I cant wait to park it & get out.Then again, I do like looking at it from the outside.With the E46 M3, you just want to keep on driving.Handling - awesome, Power delivery - very nice, street cred - well the E36 was PCOTY in '96, & the E46 is sooo much ricer

(excuse me - nicer) in fact I liked it so much I've got one being built in Feb 03. Probably won't fit stickers or neons though.

I think the "Ricer" argument is a matter of not recognising that young guys, who do not have the means to buy wild driveline components, & who would love to modify their cars like we do, are

just doing something different & fun till they are ready to seriously

compete with the older(more financial) group who pride themselves on clean, powerful, but more classy looking cars.

At least they are doing something creative, rather than banging drugs up their nose or whatever.Although, I must admit, a few cars I have seen made me wonder if thats what they had been doing just before they did up the car!!!

:lol: :bahaha: :burnout:

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
