that wing isn't reli rice....it would put more downforce on the car.
But the fact that its on some old car....lol And it doesn't reli suit that car either. Hmm...bad taste i say.

And you say that with what authority? You've studied aerodynamics in relation to automobiles?

Ty
16-08-2004, 02:34 PM
yeah it'd be great on a front wheel drive, front wheel steer car, so as you try and hit that high speed sweeper it weights the rear giving you less traction where you need it. yay


theres alot more areodynamics going on under a car that most people don't realise, ie, most proper front spoliers extend to about the bell housing on a race car.

Ricer:
Any oriental import car that has been modified for no real performance gain.

Rik
16-08-2004, 09:20 PM
I think a better definition would be:
Any car (no matter its origin) modified to imply performance, but no performance gain.

Ie: a tint or lowering isn't rice as such, as it's more aesthetics orientated. But a 5" cannon exhaust, nizmo stickers, fake bonnet vents etc on a Hyundai Excel, now that's rice.

Bah, you guys have no taste, some of those cars are sweet, stupid bastards laughing at other people's pride and joy. Some people just like having a fast looking car without the fast performance. Same goes with bikes, stickers are applied to make the bike look cool/to support favourite brands, just like those cars. Parts are bought for bikes that are probably not needed but are only there for "pimp factor", just like those cars. So think about what you have done yourself before you criticize other people creativity.

There is heaps of creativity when it comes to custom cars, but ricing it up is NOT that. Exceptions do exist however, and that would be stuff like this:
http://www.laughatrice.com/antlaugh8.jpg

I mean they can't be taking it seriously, they have to be mucking around.

People who take it seriously are not displaying any truly creative merit, outside of what could be displayed in car customization in NFS.

Now this (http://www.sloley.net/2003/P2011610.jpg) is an example of creativity.
But to perhaps illustrate my point better, something like the following is what I would consider a true example of creativity in customizing a car, one main difference being that it has CHARACTER:

Imagine if one of these super duper fully sik cars with massive wings was flying along the freeway at 180kmh (whoops - my bad, they have shitbox engines, better make that 130kmh as they couldn't get past that speed). Think of the HUGE aerodynamic downforce created and what would happen if the wing supports broke like Kimi Raikkonen's McLaren formula one car a couple of weeks ago. The Daewoo would just go spin spin spin off the road. hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Firstly the term Ricer is misused.
It originally referred to the madaz RX series of cars, "Rice cookers" because the shape of a wankel (rotary) engine is similar to the woven rice cookers used by the japanese.

As for aerodynamics, the advantage on the spoiler largely depends on the shape of the car. newer model cars with raked rear windscreens do cause less turbulant air at the rear of the vehicle, thus a low lip spolier does have advantages usually. Older cars with steeper rear windscreens rewuire a higher spoiler. The infamous Walkinshaw VL commodore is a classic example. one of the most aerodynamic production sedans ever produced.

Wings are not just about downforce, they are about directing air smoothly, with little turbulance. a fact for those who don't know already, 2/3rds of drag is created at the rear of a vehicle. Think about that next time you see a semi trailer with a big aerocab and deflector on it :roll:
Side skirts and small front lips can do wonders for aerodynamics as well.
As for ricers. I appreciate a well presented, well thought out modified vehicle that yses quality componants that improve performance,
So what REALLY shits me are B&S utes :twisted: :evil:

How is the modern use of rice derived from that? Most people know that the 13b's (and even some of the others like 12a's and 20b's def. 8) ) can be made to perform very well (you know, setting drag records) a whole lot of 9-10 second street cars are old schoolers like RX-3s with beefed up 13b's. How did ithe term come to mean what it does today?

What I am saying is that getting a a wing, chubby side skirts, and the latest shiny parts is NOT being creative. Following a TREND is NOT being creative, or being individual. I was posting in the context of 'ricers' and the definition of this term is obviously under despute. Ricers to me means people spending money to make their car look 'trick'. This is an attempt to conform to a trend or fasion.

Same goes with bikes, stickers are applied to make the bike look cool/to support favourite brands, just like those cars.
^^There it is right there! Making something look cool by appealing to a generic taste, or supporting BRAND NAMES( :!: ) is NOT creative, unique or individual!

As for you comment about a modded car being unique when compared to a common falcon, of course it is. I was talking about individuality in the context of carlovers.
Conformitiy has absolutely nothing to do with how common something is - if somebody starts a certain trend at your workplace (say writing your best friend's name on your sleeve), and you are say the 10th person to follow this trend, then you are conforming. In terms of the population of Australia however, you are quite unique.

Also, assuming you read the latter part of my post (yes all the way past the picture), I don't know how you could possibly conclude that I think leaving a car stock is creative or unique.

I am not saying there is anything specifically wrong with modding a car's cosmetics in this fasion, I just don't see how there is anything unique or individual about it. Perhaps I was slightly harsh in my comment about creativity, but I still think there is bugger all creativity involved in choosing between gold rims and purple skirts or purple rims and gold skirts. Now custom artwork on the hood - THAT is creative

Progression from the V8 boys bagging the rotaries (I know they are fast, a good mate of mone has a 4door rx3 running 10.5 1/4 with a 12a 8) )
And then classing all small cars, rotaries and 4's as rice burners (another term for the rice cooker thingy) and then modding the new 4bangas as ricers.
Still think there is nothing wrong with a moddified car, if I could justify the expense I would do it, but I would rather an original light blue EH holden sedan, lowered, white walls, rear venition blind and cruze 8) 8)

I really, really doubt that derivation. "Rice cooker" and "rice burner" have been used in relation to nearly any jap car in the motoring vernacular for a loooong time. Particularly as an affectation towards performance versions, and modified ones. Devotees of low performing, unreliable , trendy motorcycles (ie Harley, Ducati, etc) often used "rice burner" as a derogation towards Japanese performance bikes, leading to its more widespread adoption as a more neutral name for fast Jap bikes.

The terms "ricer", as short for "riceboy", and rice, as describing non-performance modifications aimlessly following fragmented auto fashion, is more likely to have come out of the huge boom in emulating styling trends from Japan in the USA's import small car market over the last 10 years or so, indeed its only become a common phrase relatively recently.
Perhaps the usage relative to the RX Mazda's is more arcane than the now common use of the words "rice","ricer", and "riceboy".

Rice = the standard mid 90's Honda Prelude I saw on the boat to Tassie (with NSW plates, surprise surprise) that was carrying not only a large clamp on, gold anodised muffler tip and altezza style lights, but also large, luridly glittering "TRD" stickers on the side (TRD being, of course Toyota Racing Development). I wish I got a photo!! It would be the ideal example car.

Not rice: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0406phr_owen/

http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0406phr_owen_01_z.jpg

Note body adornments, rollcage, slammed rideheight - however in this case all additions are functional - its a 697hp, 2,800lb early model camaro with extensive road racing oriented mods that whips new porsches...The wing is needed to get that monster power to the ground, the flares are their to cover the 16x10 and 16x12" circle racing steels with goodyear slicks...The gauges are necessary to keep tabs on the highly strung 358ci race motor. Ok, so its an extreme example... But that is pure performance.


Bogan style appears to be the australian domestic vehicle equivalent, vis-a-vis chaser steel rims, excessively low rideheight, profuse sticker application, and a large shift light "Monster Tacho" - typically visited upon an unsuspecting automatic VL commodore...

floody, If you doubt my evolution of the term ricer, then come up with one other good reason why the term rice began? :wink
I believe the relation was originally made as a derrogatory term regarding all japanese cars and the quality of them. things have changed now though, and unfortunately for all holden and ford fans these imports are tecnologically far superior to the locals ( stating obvious :roll: )

The Camaro is noice 8) The high rear wing makes sense there too, not only for downforce, but llike I said earlier it also provides a better flow of air around the rear of the car too.
The gauges on the bonnet are what really shit me. The only gauge that can be justified on the outside of a car is a fuel pressure. You don't want that line to blow inside your car :shock:

Oh, toodles, that would off course be a genuine dealer fitted nasco rear venetion, not one of them auger black plastic crappas. The ones that look like a blind and are fitted inside the rear window. Keeps in the era.

No I didn't - the car I'm speaking of was just the epitome of riciness. And I only mentioned NSW plates because last time I was in Sydney I noticed far more riceboys and posers there than anywhere else I've been...

A good non-honda example is a white, basically stock S14 Nissan 200SX I saw in Sydney, the only modifications to which appeared to be a pair of HUGE, gold, glittery "Mugen Power" stickers on the flanks ( I mean like a good 50cm tall), chopped springs, and a massive aluminium wing.

Ok, fair enough modding cars may be a trend or fashion today, but choosing which "shiny bits" and BK parts to put on your car is a sort of creativity

Conformitiy has absolutely nothing to do with how common something is - if somebody starts a certain trend at your workplace (say writing your best friend's name on your sleeve), and you are say the 10th person to follow this trend, then you are conforming. In terms of the population of Australia however, you are quite unique.

Ok I understand where you are coming from and I suppose you do see a lot of WRX's with the same mods over and over again.

I am not saying there is anything specifically wrong with modding a car's cosmetics in this fasion, I just don't see how there is anything unique or individual about it. Perhaps I was slightly harsh in my comment about creativity, but I still think there is bugger all creativity involved in choosing between gold rims and purple skirts or purple rims and gold skirts. Now custom artwork on the hood - THAT is creative

If you are saying that choosing which BK to buy or what rims to choose is not creative then choosing what airbrushing or stickers to put on the hood isn't necessarily(sp?) going to be creative either seeing that the car owner isnt the one painting and may not even be the one making up the design, like "yeah, i want some skulls and flames on the bonnet... oh and also a naked chick". Airbrushing these days is sadly overdone, with so many cars having it, that in you doing it you are a conformist.

Here I am going out on a limb here (just sunk 2 beers 8) )
That tarago looks pretty nice. Wheels make a car!
If I had 22 kids to run around at least this looks pretty nice.

(Now if I just shove 4 15" subs in the boot, an xbox, and 22 lcd screens it will be pimpin 8) )

Hey I don't mind that Tarago, its pretty much what you would call Japanese VIP style (well, if it was a tad lower...). A bit ricey perhaps, but then its a style thing, not so much a "looks like its fast" thing.
The Japs go kinda nuts with VIP people movers, Lucida, Estima etc which are the Jap market versions of Tarago, Spacia etc. ONly thing is they tend to be a bit more luxo over there with leather trim and more pimp'n'ness in general. They fit fat body kits and slam the ride height, all over massive chromes.
Oh, and I'm not talking about those crazy vans with the huge wings and stuff, different scene altogether.

Yeah what floody said, there are some realy crazy things coming from the japanese, the van modding is a whole part of car modifying on its own, VIP cars follow the trend of being black, having big chromies, supertinted windows and big exhausts.

ok, now my definition of RICER is someone who has TRIED to do up their car, make it look good but has failed- miserably. eg those [wombat edit: yes, it WAS implied! Think about what you're saying in future] cars with stickers all over their cars, body kits without suspension mods and big FART cans on the stock exhaust system.

RICERS do up their cars in bad taste and most of the time have no idea what they are doing to their car, except making it look awful.

eg see a civic driving around with a big exhaust, 15" alloys with dodgy tires, poorly fitted body kit and stickers, THAT is rice.

see someone with an s2000, modest stainless exhaust system-not just the can, lowered, wide PERFORMANCE alloy wheels (light weight eg enkei) with sticky rubber (falken azeins (spelling?) pirelli p-zeros etc) and a modest CF wing- that can actually be adjusted and doesnt look like an ironing board, and considerable engine mods- that is NOT rice.

an example of RICER is on laughatrice. an example of a tuned jap car is spoolin's bros skyline.

hehe- super vip aka YAKUZA!!!! ehehe had to say that.

but there is a difference between RICE and tastefully modified/tuned.

Hmm i think you got confused with mugen833 and MUGEN! lol but anyhow yea i already mentioned it terence. Read posts before u post! >< especially mine lol.
Anyhow that cardboard excel was done pretty well. Even the wing, bonnet scoop and fake paintjob was a pretty gd effort. Haha it even had some fins...nice creativity there. :P That old red boxxy car was just crap tho...wasted effort....looked totally rubbish. Not that i'm a fan of ricing....but what i'm trying to say is...if ur going to rice with such methods...u should at least make it look decent.

Meh~ u obviously didn't read posts by me after that....go read! And btw....i meant it "might" but i was just typing in a hurry at the time. And many wings do put more downforce on the car. dont want to repeat myself...just read beforehand.
