to some people. but most people refer to a ricer as someone who puts fake "performance mods" or stickers of things that dont exist on their car. for example Type R stickers, huge exhaust tips, removing the driver's side wiper and sticking the passenger wiper up, decals for NOS that they dont have, any fake badges, etc....

[Doug]

Sad to say that is no longer true. Some of those dang ricers are doing 9's !!!!!!!!!! Freakin' unreal !!!!!

 

[jimbo74]

how many ricers can do 7s like my friends race car?

HAHAHAHAHAHA I played with my wipers today... got bored that looookkkss soooo ridiculous... then I leave and go driving around (NOT WITH ONE WIPER NEVER IN HELL!) but I end up seeing escorts and these ghetto cars with KICKER stickers on their front windshield with no systems next to me. Pathetic!

Probabally none , but you can not deny getting a 9 out of a ricer is pretty dang impressive.

On the wiper deal , one of the piviots on my 84 Nissan Sentra broke so I HAD to drive around with the one wiper. I looked like such a wanna-be.
How embarssing.
I did fix it though.

 

[jimbo74]

yes, i do admit, that i have respect for the ones that are fast... i have less than no respect for the ones that have a muffler and K&N that think they are fast.......
the ricers around here--slow
the imports in the fast and the furious--SWEET!

 

[MONMIX]

Yeah , I totally agree.

Im willing to bet those things have to be rebuilt after every race. I a friend of mine's cousin has a camaro he races. Its got a tube chassis and the whole bit but its got a naturally aspirated 460 that runs 8s and this thing is torn down and rebuilt every other year. not every other race. As for the fast and the furious i think more money went into the paint jobs of those things that the motor. Also you dont see top fuel dragsters using 4 cylinder motors because it just doesnt make sense you can push more power out of something with more cylinders.

 

[jimbo74]

i know guys that race imports and they dont need to be rebuilt after every race.... keep in mind also, that fast for an import on average is a 14........ the really fast ones run 13s......and the supersonic imports run 12s.......

 

[mosinman]

Maybe I am showing my age, but ricemobiles, ricers, or ricerockets all referred to hopped-up Japanese imports (cars or motorcycles). Rice being the key word. We called tuned up domestic cars hot-rods or rods.-Or a POS on a sorry job.

I went to "cruise night" at a town near me.. alot of classic cars. MMMM there is nothing like the sound of a powerful V8.
