What do you class as rice?

DUMTEF · 03-03-2006, 09:29 AM

Just curious as to what different people class as rice.

for me its any car with any types of neons, exterior leds (eg. washers, valve caps), decals, supercheap auto mesh in bumper or grill (expecially with neons behind it), cannon exhaust tips (on non turbo cars).

i wouldnt define any particualar types of cars id call a e-series with neons, leds etc rice.

i only class a car as rice if it looks faster than it is.

excel with a bodykit and neons = rice.
excel with a body, neons and a big turbo that flogged me the other day = not rice.

thats just not fair simmo

Kenaz · 03-03-2006, 10:15 AM

Gotta agree.. anything that is just excessive with bodykits and neons/leds i'd call rice.

Agreed.

Or mods people do that hinder (or gain little) performance and claim they know what they're talking about in re. to cars. Ie. they hear everything from their mates with Schkylines that they're invincible, and if you own something like a Falcon that it's a slow, Aussie taxi - you know? Coz everything built in Japan is superior and faster!

The stuff that you cook to go with a stirfry = rice

Gunns · 03-03-2006, 11:29 AM

canon exhaust = rice
A huge wing that could use as a park bench = rice

niko · 03-03-2006, 11:31 AM

GMACK24 · 03-03-2006, 11:46 AM

those stupid alteeaza lights

GMACK24 · 03-03-2006, 11:48 AM

LOL
now this is RICE

hornet · 03-03-2006, 12:09 PM

No, thats just sad!

[Tonko] · 03-03-2006, 01:37 PM

i think rice is a mod that clashes with the rest of the car.... eg:neons on an ea wagon (got one in shepp) or turbo exhausts on non turbos, huge bodykits on weak cars... i think a perfectly neat, straight version (with good rims and a lowering job) of any car is nicer than any rice burner i have seen...IMO

Perfect, i think thats it right there, If it is in not tasteful and/or clashes with the rest of the car, then yeah, it's rice. Bodykits need to be well integrated with the original bodyshape of the car, neons need to be hidden, and race inspired cosmetic enhancements that generally make the car look worse than a stocker, are RICE.

So is mine. Looks like it *may* be *slightly* fast. It's 1.5 seconds slower than stock.

Mr_4.0 · 03-03-2006, 02:16 PM

i have the LED washers, so i must be rice, lol
but i'd have to say it when you make your car look and appear to be a weapon when its not, or when u have a car that has some real over the top ИИИИ like park bench wings and milo tin exhausts on 1.5L cars

vanessa0305 · 03-03-2006, 03:53 PM

Can I ask where did the term Rice come from?

gozza · 03-03-2006, 03:58 PM

bikers won't use jap bikes
not sure if this is where it started but theve called jap bike rice for ages

FordGirl · 03-03-2006, 04:25 PM

"all show, no go" thats rice to me.

Anybody who advertises their car to be quick, when it isn't. The wishlist down the side, the neons anywhere on the car, etc.

An imported car doesn't mean rice, its just slow cars that look like they should go quick.
