if you care about being called a ricer and that is going to deter you from getting a 240 do yourself a favor and don't. go get a foxbody or something for your ego. if you are scared about being called a ricer with a 240, DON'T get an sr20, DON'T mess with the exterior, and above all DON'T act like a douchebag like the "v8 guys"

 

I remember I got called a ricer by some old muscle car dude before.
but he was a dickhead..

 

umm... silvia when did i say i cared? i have 2 honda preludes atm. one r33 skyline bodykit, aem intake, header, full stainless exhaust. and the other is my winter car atm. it dont bother me in the least beacuse i know im not. and yes they annoy me but dont they annoy everyone?

i was just wondering if the calling ppl ricer was big where u all live and if the imports in your area support the ricer claims or do the imports represnt performace?

 

I was never called a ricer when i drove a 240. Still haven't been called one in my integra.

 

r33 skyline bodykit,

theres your reason. no one calls me a ricer, but my shit aint riced out so i dont thtink thyd have a reason to

 

very...delicate...subject....

no input here.

here in gainesville rice doesnt apply to nissan....
civics are the prime source....i feel like im wading through a rice field at civic meets...


one last thought...this doesnt belong here....this shoud get moved to general off topic discussion

 

gainsville,va? ha you should see where i live i seriously have never seen so much rice, ANYWHERE!

 

when i visited seattle it was a city of rice..... though good fried rice..... lol nah up there pretty much everyone modding their cars is either serious about it or an asian..... very minimal riced out cars to my suprise.... ton of evos though.

here in GA is completely diff. I see focus's and civics everyday with "two tone" (unpainted half cars) with the most hideous body kits ever...... its a natural occurance... the farther away from japan you get (or the farther south you get) the more ignorant ricers there are.

 

the farther south you get) the more ignorant ricers there are.

+1 for that

 

umm... silvia when did i say i cared? i have 2 honda preludes atm. one r33 skyline bodykit, aem intake, header, full stainless exhaust. and the other is my winter car atm. it dont bother me in the least beacuse i know im not.

ummm....did someone miss the memo?

 

Idk...south carolina does have it's fare share of ricers. but it's not a popular term for a nissan. only hondas

 

since when is a kitted car rice? a half done half painted bodykit falling off is rice. my car is done right with stock taillights and exhaust tucked under the kit with stock spoiler. so anything other than stock u guys consider rice?

and this thread wasnt suppose to cause flameing of me or anyone else it was a very simple question about the term "ricer" in your area. thanks for all that responded with their areas.

seems like im the only one up in the cold states lol i have to garage my car for a couple months due to the amounts of snow we get up here in WI.

 

you put a visracing bodykit that is made to look like a nissan on a honda. rice. now if you had build the motor and blown it instead of installing a body kit that would be a different story

 

i have to agree with silviaks2nr

 

i get called a ricer all the time, stock body, just wide ass wheels in back and exhaust(all you can see really) but normally its by some guy in a 5.0 mustang or something, so i just gettum to race for some cash and they normally shut up as they watch me pull away

 

so u guys are pretty much calling all sponsered show cars rice. the whole point of custom is making your car not look like your car. when someone walks up to your car they say "yeah nice stock 240" when they walk up to mine they say "what kind of car is that".

sorry but i dont agree that a car has to look stock to not be rice. almost every car a SEMA, Hot import nights, and the rest all have bodykits that dont even resemble stock apperance.

but whatever as i stated many times this wasnt a thread to flame me it was a simple question. if u cant answer that question than dont post plz.

and if a mod wants to close it plz do this isnt what i intended it for. as i now realize the term "rice" is a little touchy on this forum. was mearly ment for fun.

 

rice

nice

see the difference?

you asked "how the ricer nametag was on the 240"
I think my definition is pretty clear now. taste is what it is all about

 

i totally agree with u its all about taste.

not my car obviously but its clean and i got clear sidemarker lenses and foglights in the holes. its clean and flows nice. no horns or wings like your example has. i dont how u can say that its rice. but whatever to each his own.

 

that do luck kit is wind tunnel tested though? I know it adds aerodynamics to the car.

Anyways, you put a R33 bumper on your car, thats rice. Most 240 owners love clean simple looks on their cars, either OEM aero or the various clean body kits that are out there for our cars, and no that the bodykits you see in super street, no invader! I dont know where im going with this anymore, haha.

 

i guess the word has many different meanings to many different ppl well anyways i learned alot from the replies.

a person will never be able to make everyone like his car all that matters is that that the person does.

 

haha ricers are innumerable.

im from gainesville, fl. not va.

that's a pretty good way to look at it. Personally, I don't like any car that puts looks first. I hate show cars that don't get driven or raced. I love race cars, whether they look stock or not. my car has an rb20 swap, bolt ons, some custom fabbed engine bay stuff, and I just put on 300zx wheels and brakes, the first non engine performance upgrades I have ever done to my car. I was beating most anyone who would call me rice before It looked like anything. Actually, my car has always been liked by import and domestic guys, and that probably goes for alot of 240's (not the riced out ones).

If your car is so fast that noone can beat you, and they call you a ricer then it doesn't really mean shit, but if someone decides your prelude is rice because it has a gtr bumper, well you can't really back yourself up. You spent your money on looks first, so I would generally call you a ricer, even though your prelude is by far not the most tasteless thing out there. not to flame though.

to actually answer your question, civics (and most hondas) are so common and generally not that fast, that they get called ricers a lot. I see more swapped 240's than kitted ones, so I think they are a car that people build for performance, and they get a lot of respect on the road. you will hardly ever be called a ricer in a swapped, clean looking 240, you may get called it in a slow, stock engine, clean looking 240 ( but probably not) and you will definitely get called a ricer w/ a stock engine, no performance mods, ugly kitted 240.

 

you are all fucking ricers. this thread is sweet

 

if someone is stupid enough to call me a ricer for having a car that onlyhas pulled fenders to allow for the 255's in the rear i'll be happy to show em what 350 ftlbs of rear wheel rice can do in a 2700lbs car.

swaps are for suckers
