JDM rice's car on cover of import tuner!

[DRFT]

Wow what a come back for this guy. after the big crash, then he comes back big w/a even better car and on the cover of the magazine. I wonder if he is going to have some track time w/his new set up?:D

[VRT_BooZTT]

I'm surprised no one posted it earlier..lol! I was going to last week, but I figured someone would have all ready..good on ya Richard! I saw the car in it's work in progress state the night I went out to run GMR with Dorifto180sx and Dousan36.

[StanBo]

Holy shit good work the it deserves it. When will the issue hit the stands?

[Dousan_PG]

what about the article?

Is it more on the color of his car, or on the actual mods and stuff?

Nitekids, lay off the sauce when you're on the forum would ya?

[NiteKids]

Sauce? What you talking?

[Brian]

ha. i just saw it yesterday at Tower Records. the article was kinda boring. the pictures were okay.
hah i think Nitekids is just too bored this week because of a lack of something. ;)

[S13SilviaGirl]

Knowing Richard...I am POSITIVE the car will have track time...why else would he put that much time and effort into it? Hehhee I love his cars though...old JDM and the new...veryyyyyyyyyyy nice cars!

[NZO]

I like how the mis-spell Rotora about half the times. Decent article and nice pics though. Wheels are sex as usual!

[Brian]

it already has been used on the track. Ernie Fixmar drove it at the last drift showoff.

[vinyladdic7ion]

i heard the owner of that vehicle is the drift prince of so. cal. is that true?

[old_s13]

i wonder if the pics i took of his car came out better than the ones import tuner took when featuring his car. hmmm, has anyone scanned in the article -- i havent seen the new magazine yet.

here is the gallery I shot of his car way back when (scroll down):

yeah sponsors will do that to you... :hammer:

[old_s13]

You guys can comment all you want, one thing about Mr JDM RICE is that he is not scared to use, abuse, and drive his cars. He is one person that I can definately say cares more about the sport and having fun with cars, and NOT about status.

When you thrash a car THAT fixed up, both on the track AND on the streets.. that is when you have BALLS. Regardless of how many stickers are on the car, that shit kicked some serious ass.

As for the stickers, who cares.. its just vinyl, its nothing permanent. Since that car attended so many events, he was just supporting the companies that helped him when he was building his car.. no shame in that.

[NZO]

Hah Mike's just happy he got a shout-out :D j/k

[old_s13]

NZO Hah Mike's just happy he got a shout-out j/k

The magazine coverage I dont care about, I am just happy Richard's car is getting the attention he was looking for. Regardless if he sports my sticker or not, I'm happy.

Shiiieeet, what I am *REALLY* happy about is not going to jail that night we went out driving through the canyons! :) WHATTUP ERNIE!

[s13chica]

I saw the article this past week. I was very stoked for Richard, he's such a nice guy, and the car totally deserves the 4 or 5 pages it got!

[old_s13]

I use a Toshiba PDR-M70, its an older 3.3mp camera that I've been using throughout the years. Nowadays, I am sure there is better.

I've been checking several news stands, I cant seem to find ANY Import Tuner mags lately.. which I guess is good, but FUCK man.. my buddy FINALLY gets his car in the mag and shit, I cant even see it. If anyone has the crap rag mag, can you PLEASE scan it and post it here.. I'de like to atleast see the article.

I hate all those damn magazines, I cant believe I am having such a hard time finding this thing.

[CleanS14]

and luckily the girl he got isn't too hard on the eyes... I feel bad for some of those guys in that mag... they've had some horrid models in there... come to think of it most import models are horrid!!! :p

[RBS14]

As said before....... the old car was 10x better!!!!!!!

the bomex bumper is the suck imo.
the color is cool
the intercooler setup is the best part of the car
mike's taillights look sick!

next thing should be TRACK TIME!!! with richard driving

[KiDyNomiTe]

Anyone got scans of the article or more pics of his car.

And ya bomex front = ugly, plus a lot of S13 owners choose that front.

But I'm sure there is more to it than the exterior.

[tsunami0ne]

hm that's odd. one day we are all bagging ricer mags such as Import Tuner, and the next we are happy that a well-known 240 gets coverage in it... am I missing something here? Import Tuner is a crappy magazine right? Or was that Import Racer?

haha so true, it's funny how people change thier thoughts so much.

I'd say its more just because JDM RICE seems to be so popular.

Car looks good BTW!

[old_s13]

hey, my feelings havent changed.. import sport compact tuner street HAS and always WILL suck.. those magazines are only good for wiping my ass with (and sometimes not even that). BUT, regardless of what I think of their writing, its ALWAYS good to see your friends being featured.. regardless of what magazine it is.

I am curious to see the article, it would be NICE for a change to see someone write with some actual details.. but it seems these guys are incapable of that.

Its been over a week now and STILL no one has posted the article, please tell me there is SOMEONE out there who isnt technologically inept and can scan, host, and post pics of the article. I am curious to see the pictures already.. besides, he IS rocking my custom tail lights. :)

i found the november issue of import tuner, but no JDMRICE...what gives? Was it the October issue?

[old_s13]

i know, thats what i found too...

but...

its the DECEmber issue.

[NZO]

Its the one with a hoe in front of a pink car on it, although it is about 90% hoe and only 10% car so it may be hard to see at first.

[240silvia]

Really nice car. Definately a drifter. I wish that I had money to do stuff like that. However I agree with some of the other guys. To many stickers. But if they are sponsors, I can understand. If I had a sponsor sending me free stuff, I'd put them all over my car.

[brokenben]

man.. i love that car.. and wanted to get those flares.. but now i think they're gonna be the new rice sensation after hittin import tuner.. but im happy for him! even tho i dont really kno him

[Steeles]

yeah I had to buy this issue just for his car. :) car looks great, and I've never liked that bomex kit. and no ricer would ever spend money on nice stickers like those shiny sponsor stickers lol. hehe zilvia even got props

[JRTurbo909]

:bigok: Richard and his car

:down: Bomex

[Yoshi]

You're welcome.
Don't bitch about the image quality. I did this in about 3 minutes with my digicam.
If you want better, go buy the damn mag.
If you view the images fullsize you should be able to read the text.

[Anubis]

OMG whats up with this big whoreish woman clogging up the cover

[JIC350ZZ]

I'd hit it!

The car is pink. :p

[DRFT]

[saga240]

[jy116]

Yeah... IMPORT TUNER SUCKS. Im not sure, but did some one say Sport Compact Car sucks too? I know theyre the same company, BUT the times I do read SCC, its pretty good! They know the stuff better, seems like theyre more technical... IMO, Import Tuner is more of a kids and car sho ho magazine...

But yeh, NICE CAR!:eek:

[RBS14]

^^^^^^^^^

Primedia owns both of those magazines. As well as a couple handfull's of other mags.....

[old_s13]

I like Richard's old car better, it was more unique and personalized. This one.. well, its okay.. I dont mind it.

Sport Compact Car.. pssssssh, whateva'

Ya, his first one is super hot.

[matlock]

I do not know Richard, so I feel kind of rude using his first name and not really knowing him, so I appoligize for that now....but your car is amazing I love it. I think it looks so clean and I love the tweaks you have done the dash work is really sexy...my friend recently did Air/Fuel, Temp, Oil Pres in the spot where the heater vents are also.....that was cool but then I saw yours and I was blown away at how clean the whole car was...Nice job keep it up and maybe I will actually meet you haha..

[S13SilviaGirl]

Hey Matlock, you should see his car in person...the magazine dosn't do it justice. Richard's cars are never anything less than beautifully clean!:bowdown:

[mbmbmb23]

Needs to lose that hideous wing.

[brokenben]

hmm.. i was never really a big fan of the s15 face on rps13 but his car pulls it off clean...

[RBS14]

you sure about that one?....

NOTE to jdmrice: put on the front end that was on JDMRICE1 with a really nice bumper.... = the ultimate hotness!

[S13HatchLuvr]

Richard's car looks absolutely amazing... Wouldn't be my choice of exterior color, but he's obviously a real man and can pull it off nicely. This is precisely what I've wanted my car to look like for some time now, save the choice of front body kit and spoiler (although this spoiler fits on this application because he actually uses the downforce!). Excellent choices, Richard... and congrats on getting your car published!

[Dousan_PG]

oh its a fun car to drive too. i got to do some skidpad action, big donuts, around a cone, coming up to it..fun fun fun fun fuuuun. :) loved it

:)

[old_s13]

Anyone who wants to read the article, I went ahead and scanned it and added it on my site: www.clearcorners.com/articles/

I've driven Richard's previous S13 hatch, that thing was VERY fun. I dont claim to drift, but man after taking a quick spin in that car it was quite amazing what I was able to "pull off." That car has enough power and a stiff enough suspension where I was able to pull 50mph drivers accellerating out of turns with EASE. My only response to Richard was "nice nice.. now take this car away from me." I know myself too well, a car like that would get me in WAY too much trouble.

old_s13 is the only_s13 for me. ;)

[jdmrice]

thanks you guys for your support....especally mike :)

Different people have different taste or opinions...if you ask me which one i like the most...i can't really give you an answer..
i liked both cars....i put as much effort i can into them...
thanks for all the friends who were there with me....i couldn't have done it without you.. thanks

Richard

[mrmephistopheles]

i miss jdmrice1, Richard. :(
it was nice to have a crazy aztec red '91 fastback, so i could see what mine would look like if I did what you did. :D

[Bbandit]

awesome work richard!
great car and hopefully you'll win some formula drift d event next year ;)
lets just say, out of all of the modded 240sx's.. yours is the best, look-wise and performance-wise

[RBS14]

how do ya figure?

[Bbandit]

Originally posted by RBS14

performance doesnt have to be engine...
suspensions and drivetrain are also considered as performance..
and judging from the engine setup, im guessing the car maybe has ~300hp but correct me if im wrong since its not my car

[old_s13]

Shuttup bitches.

MY car is the best, looks, performance, whatever.

Why?

Because I know how to drive it. :)

I WILL SMOKE JDM_RICE...!!!

[FRpilot]

richard, just wondering where you got that radiator overflow tank? custom made or imported?
