lets hear it for biased polls!

and i agree with the sticker thing. if the guy wants to advertise things that may or may not be in his car it's up to him. he obviously has more money than sense and deserves everything he gets! including random beatings from stop light warriors!

:(

good luck on your quest gradenko ;)

I would like to Pose a question.

Is a non turbo R33 with A GTR kit rice? I am honestly unsure. where can you draw the line on this one

A non turbo charged car acting like it is a turbo charged car!?

"DUDE!..... It's A Lama" - From the movie - Dude, wheres my skyline?

Yep sure is

Doesnt improve performance of car and cost u time and money.

And y the hell would u buy a gts anyway??? they are heavy and underpowered y not get a decent n/a car instead? IMHO this is once again just for show. I wont go as far as to say every gts owner is a ricer but i did think it at one time. :(

Note: dont shoot me down that what the thread is for:)

it's a whole new realm, these people are beyond words :lol:

Macka,

you are a discrace to us and the world of skylines... HOWEVER seeing that you will soon have more output than a standard GTR maybe we could excuse you..... just this once:burnout:

Yeah i kind of agree with Boostzor on that trying to pass a non turbo as a turbo... ok then my next question... A GTST with a GTR kit.... single turbo trying to pass as a twin turbo... *GASP* i can hear some of you guys hyperventilating already... calm down fellas on this question...it's just a question....look forward to responses however!:uh-huh:

Definately rice.

What im trying to get at is "whats the point?" if u want looks get a BMW or some other poser mobile. If u want a performance car y bother working on the outside when the inside is where it counts.

I have noticed that i get more look form the ladies when i am driving the Jeep Wrangler then i do when im driving my car and thats a good thing. If i had neons and "im a ricer" written all over it i would prolly get the looks up the wazzoo.

My point is this: U dont see ppl buying ferraris and stickin wings and stuff all over em because they are built to perform while stock. The 'line is top of its class and u dont need any of that crap on the outside as it provides absolutley no benefit at all to ure performance.

Friend of mine (commodore goon at heart) was at the hat cruz the other nite. He said and i quote "man so many of those cars are covered in stickers and stuff i reckon Gradenko is the classiest lookin of the lot"

Now while i dont nessacarily agree with that, seeing as i barely even notice the outside of a car and believe it whats inside that counts, it provides a good insight of what ure average goon thinks.

A GTST with a GTR kit....

I guess if someone felt the need for fibreglass, a gtr kit is a good, if not better, than any of the others. The gtr kit doesn't look odd or out of place on a skyline (esp r32s), unlike some of the more fancy jap namebrand ones.

aw11, I started this topic to discount the pathetic defence ricers fallback onto time after time - "to each their own". And i especially wanted to target skyline ricers. Lets not involve other cars into this.

If we make 'line ricing as socially unacceptable as drink driving is, I, for one, would be a lot more happy. "If you rice, and then drive, you're a bloody idiot".

But if u rice and then brag ure an even bigger idiot:lol:

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 just don't see what the big deal is about rice

if the guy can beat you in a race, then you can't accuse him of being a riceboy since

a) he beat you

B) you were beaten by a riceboy (not something to brag about!) :cool:

a gtst with gtr kit is not rice

a gtst with gtr kit and gtr badging IS rice :uh-huh:

r33_cam's neons are not rice

they are...effects, and I must admit after seeing them that they look good

I don't sticker my car since I don't like giving randoms who pull up next to you on the streets a full run-down of my engine accessories :burnout:

tint isn't rice, I have tint, everyone has tint, tint doesn't make your car go faster

camber is rice on certain cars, but we don't have to worry about being accused of it since we don't drive stock excels etc

as with exhausts etc, depends on whether the car requires that particular degree of camber/exhaust width/bov volume jimi :lol:/excessively large gt-wings etc etc

essentially and as said many a time before, if you put time and money into something which gives the impression of the car going faster than it actually does, then they are rice

if they beat you then you'd be an idiot to accuse them of being a rice-boy :)

but in any case it all boils down to fact that the person owns a car, it is his property and can therefore do whatever he wants to do with it

sorry for the long-winded message, but this topic bores me endlessly :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
