Can someone please be kind enough to define the term "Rice" or "Ricer" for me?

 

The term has different meanings. Usually in the domestic world, rice is just about any non-domestic car thats modded, at least alot of us call it that. But in the import world it basically means any car that is just put together horribly, looks fast but isnt, too many stickers, etc. For example those cars running around with altezza taillights, huge aluminum spoilers (on front wheel drive cars of all things) and type-R sickers on their Toyota, I typically use it in this context.

I saw a nissan 240 this last friday with Type-R badges all over it. Thats rice.

I noticed you are from Cali. All my import friends say that the west coast import scene is alot better than the east coast scene, maybe you guys don't have as much rice as we do over here?

Rice:

 

My definition:

- something that goes great with Chinese food, but a pain to eat with chopsticks

- any car that is slow but made look fast, or pretend to be fast, car with an identity crisis



Though I do prefer to use the 'Tacky' or '*****ty' over "Rice".

 

This is the kinda rice I love

 

Exactly, you can have domestic rice as well. I've seen domestic "rice".

 

Oh yeah, we have major Rice here on So. Cal. I just wanted to clarify on what it means. Hopefully I can get a digital vid. camera for christmas...

 

Any car where the mods actually slow it down from stock... be it a 100#s of stickers, wind resistance and weight of wing and body panels, or lowering to where camber causes the tires to ride on the inside rim lip... everyone has different ideas of what "rice" means.

I like and respect a Supra that goes 128mph in the quarter mile (heh, handed me my **** at the track), and any true import performance car. I hate the wannabe pretenders that overhype the look... all show, no go.

 

POS

 

This = Rice

 

O Yeah.......look at those small hands....hehe

 

Woah.... for a second there I though you were calling me a piece of ****.

 

Oh yeah...
