wimwam Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 After passing a ricer Honda (man that was ugly) that thought he was cool cutting in and out of traffic but seemed to be killing his car doing so I have come to even more appreciate the great machine that I am driving. Kudos to Subaru. Can't wait to fully break it in and have some real fun during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be carefull when you say "Rice" and "Killing" in the same post, touchy subject around here these last few days I was wondering about that too. What the heck does "rice" prefer? A souped up Japanese car? An Asian person in a Japanese car? Or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 rice = Overdone bodys and fart can exhausts - basically gaudy and loud! (can be on any model car) It gets more deep then that, but that's basically it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiem Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well, you see lots of Civics with this kind of mod - most driven by Asian guys too. I think that's where its got its name. If it was a souped up Neon or a Focus - I dont think it'll be called Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Yes it would, and I think it's generally not used with racial cannotations. Personally, I think the word is played out.

Levish Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 originally started with "rice burner" as in powered by rice iirc ... may have had something to do with how economical they were in comparison to the domestics. it did also imply that since it wasn't using gas they weren't particularly fast. lately it's taken on new meaning, mostly in the form of being gaudy with respect to modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well, you see lots of Civics with this kind of mod - most driven by Asian guys too. I think that's where its got its name. If it was a souped up Neon or a Focus - I dont think it'll be called Rice. A tastelessly modded Neon or Focus is every bit as much "rice" as a similarly modded Civic. The ethnicity of the driver has nothing to do with it. I'm Asian, but live in a very predominately caucasian area with a ton of "riced" out compacts. Almost of the drivers are white. To me, a riced out car is one where the mods suggest performance potential that doesn't exist. If you make your car look like it should be on the starting grid of a JGTC race, then it better have more beans under the hood than than the 106 hp that Honda gave it. Really even fast cars can be ricey, if the exterior mods are tacky. Poorly fit and painted body kits, sticker out the wazoo, enormous aluminum wing etc...
