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:

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
