who in the forum has rice?

[drifterx]

i hope no one fights here but let me start....
name the person here you think has a rice mobile?
dont be offended

[West]

about 70-80% of the kids around my area are rice. There are just a few cars that are done right and arent Two Tone. lol

[my240likenoother]

ok let me hear it i know you all think that i have the rice mobile
but i dont care i love my 240

[drifterx]

i like your car... i dont think it is ricy... i dont think the white fire is ricy (but others might debate)
but your car looks fine... it doesnt have any weird ass thing does it? like a 10 inch spoiler? or an invader body kit (sorry to the ppl who has it but it is too extreme)

[ca18guy]

Your car isn't that ricey (i would get rid of the tribal flames if it was my car, but it isn't ). I saw a red Civic today that had a huge double wing spoiler, rims, the car was'nt lowered so he looked like he was ready for off roading, the huge muffler that sounded like a swarm of angry bees and still had the "DX" symbol on the back, that is rice, i'll take a pic of it tomarrow. I wish I could line up next to him so i can laugh and then burn em.

[my240likenoother]

what you see on the page is what it looks like now

[zephyr]

I like your car, man.  The red and white complement each other surprisingly well.

[drifterx]

ohhh shit i have rice..
i got all those stupid neon lights in my car, the dancing one and a blacklight under my passenger side dash....
but what the ####, girls like them

[Zexel]

hey my 240, are oyur calipers painted?? just curious, it would look mad cool if they were white.  just so you could match somewhat.  there is one car that I've seen that I think is just ridiculous.  get this, a guy has an Acura Integra, 92 I think.  and the paint is a real nice yellow.  just perfect.  well his front wheels are the stock hubcaps, ya know 13's or 14's whatever they come stock.  then the back rims are literally a neon green 17's I think.  of course he has the Altezza's!!! but I mean i'ts just a ridiculous car.

[drifterx]

i am sure we have a bunch of hondas to talk abt... but come on ... this thread was aiming towards talking abt 240sx that r riced out...
we r here to help each other from becoming ricy

[ca18guy]

I don't know if thats really rice, it's not like the neon on the underside of outside of the car why do people do that? Is it supposed to make it look like it floats? Who would mistake it for a floating car? Oh look honey it's one of those floating cars..... No dear its a fake <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> Anyway I forgot what i was gonna say, #### it.

[ca18guy]

Oh yeah now i remember, if you realize that your black lights in your car are &quot;ricey&quot; that makes em less ricey, because a real ricer does'nt understand why someone would point and laugh at there car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[drifterx]

ca18: hhaha
lol
i am sitting here in the lab laughing....
i wouldnt have it except for a car show or to draw attention
but some how ppl think it is cool.... i know girls always point at my friend's car with the underglow, he only turns it on when the car is parked and we r just chilling somewhere...... hahaha i might get them when i have money and after i finish my car

[vancouvers14]

well, i've got a red interior, so that could be considered ricey....

but hey, it gets compliments everywhere. &nbsp;i went thru a police roadblock, and the cop was just staring at my interior and smiling. &nbsp;never even asked me if id had been drinking

[saga240]

ricer 240's?.. &nbsp;havent seen too many yet.. &nbsp;maybe like 1 or 2.. &nbsp;i mostly just see stock s13's driving around =(.. i wanna see some fixed up 240s! &nbsp;

[S13Grl]

Again, I have a little teeny-tiny GReddy sticker covering up a scratch on my rear bumper. (And a diamond headlight conversion) Ricey?

[S13Grl]

P.S. My240, I think your car looks great, except it would look even better if the flames were coming from the rear wheels, since it's a rear wheel drive. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> It still looks pretty dope.

[SpoiledBoi]

I dont have a car, and dont like riced out cars much, &nbsp;but i do eat rice...lol

I've got some rice on my car, little kyb agx sticker that I'm planning to take off with a razorblade (it's on glass) and I put the license plate cover on that I got with the injen intake because the license plate alone just looked nasty for some reason.

[my240likenoother]

yes my calpers r painted white and under the hood is detailed white( hoses and a small amount of wireing not to much) i have the neons on the bottom front ( it lights up the wheels and the whole under the front side) and it always gets complaments
also i have the center console red aslong as the vents &nbsp; ( just the trim )
well thanks for the compliments
every1
btw i have only seen one rice 240 around me have that redickules double wing and that was it no exhaust no rims

[whateverjames]

oh ####. i forgot another thing that is ricey on my car. stillen.com license plate brackets front and back! i do have an intake, hi flow cat, catback system, springs, shocks, clutch and flywheel, but not one thing was bought from stillen. (got them free at United Nation of Nissan convention).

I really like the stock wheels on the newer s13's. Btw... I think they're actually from 92-94, because i've seen a few 91's with the older wheels... maybe i'm wrong though.

[misnomer]

I've got liscense plate covers that say &quot;Carson Jeep Nissan&quot; and some funky pinstriping that said dealership applied to help reduce the appearence of a small dent on my right rear fender. . . Uh. . . side from that, I think there's some rice still spilled on the floor in the back from dinner last week, but that's Mexican style rice.

I do have some pics of a Kia I saw on vacation in Tucson. Had bigass aluminum wing, exhaust, rims, and a &quot;Powered by Kia&quot; sticker on the side <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[konkman]

I saw a real tasteless 240 ricer. &nbsp;This guy had a white 91-94 with cut springs, HKS, APEX, GREDDY, Spearco, MOMO, Stillen and JWT decals starting at the drivers side door, extending to the rear wheel, and the same on the other side. &nbsp;

But I loved the 2 final touches he mounted gauge pods with no gauges in them (just empty watch faces), and a 12&quot; supra spoiler on top of his stock spoiler. &nbsp;Yeah, bolted to our foam spoiler. &nbsp;

[misnomer]

Hehehe, yum, get that boi some Teriyaki sauce and dig in!! I give that stock spoiler two more months of life.

I didn't mention it in my last post, but there is a greenish yellow 240sx wandering around Reno with funky exhaust and the all out body kit. Didn't see much beyond that, caught my attention as it drove past at a light. I know they are out to grab attention with alla that shit, but I for one am not feeling a need for the &quot;What a freaking dumbass&quot; kind of attention.

[HondakillaS14]

Around my area I saw an S14 that was purple with yellow graphics all up and down the car along with the custom purple and yellow accented interior.....yuck!!!....worst S14 I've ever seen in my life....

That's a pretty funny site. &nbsp;But I saw a few where they cited &quot;exessively large exhaust tip&quot; when the tip was like 3&quot; and appeared to have a full cat-back behind it...that's a little rediculous. &nbsp;Geez...they'd probably crap their pants if they saw my N1.

[drifterx]

i dont think some of those cars on the site was rice... but some were....
i think some of those people were just idiots

[groundzero]

I have a 240 just drop with rims and tinted windows all around...I don't think mine is ricey compared to my friends rides...Now they have Rice Rollers...Haha..Im talking about crazy spoilers and the biggest exhaust that is so annoying...I just keep my car humble and simple. I have a picture but its hard for me to post it on here...ca18guy that rice ticket is hella funny...:biggrin:

[LanceS13]

The original meaning of rice, as well as I can trace it, is advertising something you don't have. &nbsp;This has mainly to do with stickers, but an exhaust tip w/o the catback could be considered advertising an exhaust system you don't have. &nbsp;Anything else (large non-functional wings, clear tail lights, wild body kits, wild graphics) is simply distasteful...and since taste varies, it's not universal like &quot;rice&quot;. &nbsp;My car is by no means ricey because I have no stickers at all and I have a full cat-back behind the exhaust tip....but some may find the large tip distasteful...see how that works?

People making those &quot;rice&quot; sites just have too much spare time on their hands. They probably don't like seeing cars being tuned/modified... Instead of showing us how NOT to do it, they should show us how it SHOULD BE DONE. Criticism should be constructive and not just aimed at putting down people. After all a modified car is an extension of the owner's character and to each his/her own...

Sorry, teamcapsule, I MUST disagree. I believe we all need to see rice collected at one site so that we may laugh and have fun.

[teamcapsule]

Yeah ofcourse, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But to which criteria do cars have to answer, in order to be rice? I think everyone has different criteria for calling cars &quot;rice&quot;. Who sets the standard? My car is very stock apart from a few mods, in my eyes it's not rice, but it might be and probably IS RICE according to some other people.

I'm not saying that I like rice. Don't get me wrong, but as long as they aren't hurting anyone, I don't care... And as for those RICE sites, well they may be funny, but think of the owners of the rice cars which are featured on the site...

Anyway, don't pay any attention to my post... I've got wayyyyyyyyyyy too much sparetime... I should probably make a rice site myself <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[S13Grl]

They must feel bad, I'm sure. But, people like to make fun of stupid people. It's a natural thing. I like making fun of rice, it's fun to me, cause I can say that I would never do that and that makes me just a wee bit car-smarter than that person. And I'm a girl, so anything that has to do with cars is a big deal for me.

I mean, yeah...it's an ITR color, but it's just white paint...####.

[S13Grl]

Any true car-lover will look at this guys wheel's. I would paint my 240 an ITR-Yellow just cause the color's cool. Color is color, dude. Not to be mean, or anything, but... I'd paint my car f'n SI blue if I thought it looked good.

[LanceS13]

But it's just a color...like, at one point I considered painting my car the pewter color that the C5 'vettes come in. &nbsp;It doesn't mean I'm posing as a 'Vette, I just think it's a cool color. &nbsp;Not that big a deal. &nbsp;At least he doesn't have the Type-R badges (or does he?)...that would be posing.

lol hes painting his car from the LS red to Championship white? i see no sense in it? lol well yah iono blah but yes i would paint my car too a different color, just not to make it pass for something its not

[IceTekGuy]

hmmmh.. i have found a special order bodykit, from my friends dad who owns a restyling shop here in CT
Im going to make my car look almost identical minus the decals to this car(but the paint scheme is going to be blue and white)
http://www.zilvia.net/images/gallery/s14-1.jpg
would that be considered ricey? or just plain out nasty street/autocross racer?
with the same rims and everything, i although have a better pic, but i cant link it to you guys, so you cant see the rims(of the same car which i have posted the link about)


#### what a mouthful... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[LanceS13]

I think that wide body would look pretty good...especially if you were going for something different. &nbsp;I'd stick with a single color paint scheme, though. &nbsp;Two-tones look tacky in my opinion. &nbsp;If you do all that, though, put some grunt in the car so it's not all show and no go...I'm talkin 350+ turbocharge hp. &nbsp;In my book, if you're gonna look wild, you gotta perform wild. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[misnomer]

Back to the paint color, that alone has nothing to do with rice (unless it's two or three or eight toned, y'know what I mean <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> ), but the fact that he's coupling it with Type R badges makes it pretty lame and 100% rice.

As for the racing 240sx, it depends on what you do to the car. If you paint it, it needs the widebody kit. Though, I'd say you'd better back it up under the hood <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[vancouvers14]

icetekguy, if youve got $50K to drop on that kit and performance to match, then just buy a new vette

[S13Grl]

The point is not to spend all that money on a car that comes factory-looking-good. The point is to make it look better and go faster than a 'vette. Or so i think.
OK, Vancouver.

i'm gonna be brutally honest here. &nbsp;our cars will never look as good as a new vette. &nbsp;and it will never turn as many heads. &nbsp;i had a 2000 vette for a week in cali, and a z3 for a second week, and my car doesnt get half as many looks (even though its way better than the z3). &nbsp;Its not just about being fast. &nbsp;Expensive cars come with killer interiors. &nbsp;The vette is just amazing. &nbsp;Youre just wrapped in leather, the seating position is perfect. &nbsp;Sitting in it made my 240 feel like a civic hatchback.

[S13Grl]

Ok, whatever. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> JK Yeah, but... I'd like to think the opposite.
THAT PORSCHE IS SAAAAAAAAD!!!

[konkman]

That porsche is a perfect example of what rice turns a beautiful car into.

We should all shed a tear for this one.

[teamcapsule]

Yeah, a perfectly good porsche farked up by that.... that... &nbsp;ladder!

[JeffNJ]

.. sobbing uncontrollably ..

We are gathered here today to celebrate and remember the beauty this Porsche used to have. &nbsp;It is lost now, but .. sniff .. but will live on in .. sniff .. in our hearts.

Oh, god, I just can't take it anymore

You have to wonder whether they think that actually looks good or not. Ugh... I just about lost my lunch, and i'm not even thinking about the paint job at the moment.http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/cwm/3dlil/puke.gif

LOL I saw a toyota carolla last night with an R bage on the back!

I saw a Toyota Echo with a weld-on muffler today. I almost cried...

[LanceS13]

There's a banana yellow Kia with a 3 ft. wing here on campus (no joke, the thing is higher than the top of the rear window). &nbsp;It's got chrome hubcaps, too.
There's also a yellow and purple '92 Civic DX with a big wing and the rear brake DRUMS are painted purple. &nbsp;No performance mods whatsoever than I can see...even has the stock 1.5&quot; pipe sticking out the rear, not even a tip. &nbsp;I swear I'm one of the fastest 4 cyl. on campus. &nbsp;I did see a girl driving around in an MR-2 Turbo the other night, though...but that's f/i so it doesn't count.:biggrin:

p.s. &nbsp;I think this is the longest thread ever on this board.:)

[S13Grl]

It definitely is. And we have DrifterX to congratulate on it too. No, we gotta thank the guy who wanted to stick stuff on his dashboard. So, thanks!

Hehe, my sticker buddy's right. Let's give thanks to all the ricers out there that made this thread possible. LOL

okay i got one,

i dont have a picture but imagine if you will, this guy used to come into my work all the time but i had seen his car before...

a mid eighties pontiac celeberity spray painted black, with the back seat taken out the fit his enormous Wal-Mart car stereo system, he had 2 15&quot; super pros and pyramid amplifiers,

but that is not the worst part... you wont believe this

he decorated his car with wood painted white....

i sh*t you not.... he had little things made to look like air induction on his hood, on the sides all over,

the first time i saw it before i knew the guy i almost got into an accident while gawking....

i wish i had a picture so you all did not think i was lying

[ca18guy]

I believe you, some people are idiots. I knew one kid that had a 3 cylinder Geo Metro! had the low profile rims a racing strip he did him self, whited out the tail lights, huge stickers for his &quot;car club&quot; on the wind shields and back window, and took a garbage can and used it to house a 10 inch road gear (ie&quot; walmart) sub. It was the funniest thing ever. I can't imagine owning a &quot;clown&quot; car.

[bing]

but the guy im talking about actually walked around with a straight look on his face

he was like 24 married with a kid?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Dude, do you realize what you've just said?!?!??!

[misnomer]

What we are getting at is the type of attention ricer cars get. It's not the &quot;wow, that dood is clever&quot; attention. Ever. It's always &quot;dood, wtf is that guy on?&quot; I bought my car to look like a 240sx, and to drive like one (or better <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>). That's the difference, we aren't out to turn heads with funky decals and insane bodykits. Turn heads by making the car fast, not making it look fast. Mark West and PSI240's cars are excellent examples. Riceyness has nothing to do with the car, it's about the owner.

Then again, as you say, everybody has their own tastes. What you are seeing in this thread is the popular belief on the forum. We bought 240sx's to be different. If we wanted to rice out our cars, we'd be driving Hondas. I mean, ####, 20 hp per sticker, NO Nissan on the road can beat that!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Yes that porsche and that huge exhaust car was fuckin stupid but i think u can still go with the ricey style and still look good and be respectable.

Do I consider the cars on F&amp;F ricey? yes. &nbsp;Those graphics on those cars where designed to be put in a movie. They are over done for the movie and for lack of a better word &quot;gaudy&quot;. I hope you did'nt think that all imports are like the one's in that movie. To be a cool import you don't need some huge decal on the side of the car or a spoiler that scraps the top of drive threws. Just make a nice clean ride that goe's fast. What is that saying &quot;Talk softly but carry a big stick&quot;. &nbsp;If you want attention go buy a Van (like the one tony danza drive's in Who's the Boss) Well take the van and put all the stickers on it and spray paint it whatever color u want.

OK THIS IS FAR FROM RICE!!!!!! That Porsche is either an original or a replica of the 1977 935 Turbo Coupe Racecar. Do you guys think AC Shelby Cobra's replica's are rice? No they are very nice looking and powerful. Here is a link that will show you the 1977 935 turbo coupe, http://www.royalediecast.com/exoto15.htm#turbo
I hate it when people label things as rice but they have no idea what they are talking about.

[Skyline GTR]

I came from Hong Kong, so I don't really understand your slangs that well yet, and I don't completely understand what &quot;rice&quot; is. &nbsp;You guys probably think I am stupid, but it's ok. &nbsp;Does it mean stuff that look good but not help the car run fast? &nbsp;If so, I don't think they are that bad, because I saw people in Hong Kong who hooked up their car too much (performance wise) and they had nothing else to do afterwards, and they start putting on hoods, body kits, (but no one there does stickers, because they all think it's really stupid), lights, (oh, no one uses clear tail lights or altezza either, because that's stupid also), but I don't think they are that bad, because when you can't do anything more performance else, you should make it look good, don't you agree?

[Skyline GTR]

forgot to say, when they do the lights, they do the JDM lights if they have it, because even though Hong Kong has the cars they got in Japan, the tail lights are sometimes different in colors.

[BlankFlip]

hey, but they're doing performance first. i wouldn't put nething 2 extreme on my car, but if they got the power to back it up, then that's their decision. u should check out the first page of this topic cuz it has a check list of stuff that make ur car ricey, it's pretty funny.

[JeffNJ]

Yeah, I even mentioned earlier that a sticker for a company who made a part you actually have doesn't count as 'rice'. &nbsp;A card that has been ricerafied is something that was decked out to look fast but wasn't at all. &nbsp;Essentially, a lie. &nbsp;The classic example is the little type-r racing emblem stuck on the back of an escort station wagon or something.

Speaking of Type-R, the company I work for sells wireless modems. &nbsp;Before the Ricochet network went dead, they offered the highest speed wireless connection you could find at 128k/sec. &nbsp;It rocked. &nbsp;Anyway, we sold a Merlin card for the CDPD network for a long time, but started offering a Merlin Type-R card for that other network. &nbsp;I totally that was the coolest name for it because I thought they meant &quot;It's like a regular Merlin, but it goes really fast&quot;. &nbsp;No, turns out the R was short for 'Ricochet' and no one knew what I was talking about. &nbsp;So disapointing.

[BlankFlip]

i actually kind of like cars w/ stickers on the side windows or side of cars if it's not overdone, it really does give it that unique japanese touch. a lot of cars in japan actually did that n their cars were in no way overdone at all. there were a lot of fast jap cars there though so it wasn't like a bold statement or nething cuz everybody knew what u had under the hood. since the cars were cheap, so many ppl had like silvia k's, 180sx's, skyline gts-t's, pulsar gti-r's, evo's, wrx's, celica's, hachi's, whatever u know. all the cars there were the jap cars (u might c an old or new american car every once in a while) so u wouldn't really notice much difference in the nicer sport cars since so many were modified, which i find to be a very rare here in the states, except for the honda ppl of course, which i don't get half the time. i actually never heard the term &quot;rice&quot; until i came to the states, i guess a lot of ppl in the US don't exactly appreciate the imports as most of us do. hehe, i actually don't know what the point of this piece was, i guess i read something in here n had to type this.

[mbmbmb23]

Im new to this forum, but I just couldnt help but respond to this thread.

Here are a few that I've seen that bugged me. &nbsp;First of all, a while ago I saw a girl in a Fox body style mustang. &nbsp;I had ground effects, a 5.0 badge, and a cobra snake badge (above the 5.0 badge). &nbsp;The thing is, this car did NOT have a V-8. &nbsp;I could tell by the single exhaust and the sound of the exhaust. &nbsp;Secondly, and probably the worst ricer Ive ever seen was a nastly yellow geo storm, with a foot high wing on the back, and stock everything. &nbsp;This thing looked like a yellow lawnmower. &nbsp;Ive seen sick looking early 90's metallic blue cavalier Z24 with a huge chrome tailpipe and UNPAINTED white ground effects and cowl hood. &nbsp;My friend has a 95 civic 2 door, with a 1.8ltr GSR motor in it....and he put an acura badge on the hood (but it looks cool), and full chamelion paint. &nbsp;The last terrible thing Ive seen was a ford ranger with a huge chrome exhaust that made it sound rediculous. &nbsp;I like the idea of a disposeable &quot;rice-cam&quot;, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I might have to try that myself.

[JeffNJ]

The worst, I mean the worst ricey thing I've ever seen, you'd have to see yourself to believe.

Someone in NYC had affixed a 'Grand Cherokee' label right off of a Jeep on the liftgate off their Volvo Station wagon. &nbsp;See, guys, riceyness isn't limited to just sports cars or imports.

(A friend took a pic of the above - if she ever gives it to me, I'll post it)
