just a quick search buddy. now bow ur bird chest back down.

www.urbandictionary.com has a good definition as well http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricer



(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.

Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

trust me $1,000-$1,200 on the neon srt4 = 300whp.....thats why the OP post is so crazy. This is a superior car in a straight line race regardless...........it is a POS though lol.

lol... no... misunderstood. i'm just saying, sometimes it seems people are little quick to call somebody's car "rice". I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it... I'm just saying sometimes individuals are kinda critical. If you want neon, get neon, it's your car, you have the right to do whatever you want to do to it.

I'm not pointing out any one specific person so don't get defensive.

Didn't mean for this thread to get highjacked lol....

alright smart guy post a dyno of a n/a si putting down the numbers you say we are wrong about........keep looking although you may take a loooong time. I love watching you guys choke on your own dumbass words.

All of 8th should listen up I guess johnnyk20 knows something noone else does about the si......what a joke.

He's just trying to get a rise out of you. He can't really be stupid enough to think the reflash gives peak power.... can he?

Probably so thats why it no longer is worth me responding. Not to mention the fact that all these race threads get destroyed by off topic debates......it really is sad if you think about it.

So when the SRT-4 was new, I could walk into a Dodge dealership and walk out with a brand new SRT-4 for about $20,000, which had a excellent warranty (I recall Dodge offering 7/70 even on it's SRT line), decently quick, and looks pretty mean. For the same price, now, you pretty much (out the door) get a new LX, slow as ****, hubcaps, no steering wheel audio controls or trunk release on the key fob, not to mention it gets "ok" gas economy. Yeah, the SRT-4 wasn't that bad of a deal at all!

Whoa...

I agree a lot of this bitching is retarded, especially making fun of the SRT-4 for being ugly and whatnot. Both of my brothers think my FA5 is ugly as shit, and the coupe even uglier since the cars are so rounded. Looks are opiniated... I happen to thinik the SRT-4 looks better than the SI, just the SRT-4's interior sucks more.

Having said that.. an LX for 20k? Are you for real? I got my SI for $20,200 AND $900 more than I should've on the trade-in. An LX is more like ~16k, not 20k. I hate when people make an argument like this and used ridiculously skewed numbers to make their point.

Having said all that, an SRT-4 WILL rape you front and back, left and right. Yes.. in all those directions. You can't beat the price to power ratio on that car, not in our SI's, which I think are a smidgen over-priced. But that's a different thread.
