What have u riced, or seen riced?

[Spectrix]

so whats 'rice' then?


Rice is a term used to describe parts attached to vehicles that are non-stock or that didn't come with the car, and that usually don't help the car's performance in any way shape or form, but that sometimes make the car look hotted up or different.

"...complete with a drain pipe sized exhaust, enormous supercar wing, hsv style grey bits on the skirts, bonnet scoop (red) and turbo stickers..." (Seen on a green Hyundai excel with a huge body kit and very small mags)

In this case we have a car that is already grossly underpowered, being weighed down by a poxy body kit & wing and losing torque through an oversized exhaust. To add insult to injury, the owner has chosen to attach turbo stickers (to a non turbo car) and a non functional bonnet scoop painted a different colour to the bonnet. He even has chromed 13 inch mags. It's not just riced up a bit, it's rice rich, it scores very high on the rice-ometer.
This car has been thoroughly riced with no regard for performance.

The owner is now known as a rice monger, and you have my full permission to laugh at him. :p


So let us hear your rice stories... :Poke:

u know whats dumb about half these guys... theyve got v8s that are uglier than rice cars. A lot of v8s is in my opinion r pretty close to rice (make a lot of noise and dont go too fast)... i'd hate to think how many of our cars they would call ricey... but oh well

[Spectrix]

Those rice cops are pretty strict

I'd be booked for :

:mad: Clear Side Indicators

:mad: Painted Calipers

:mad: Red Silicon Wiper Blades

On the other hand, its all about having your rice to performance ratio the right way up. The rice metioned above just turns into a blur when you own all the hotted up commies and falcons at the lights.

[GrAy_RaCe]

haha
how funny is rice
i live near brighton..pple in sydney will no wat i mean..evry weekend it transforms into the international rice capital of the world. my mate almost crashed afew weeks ago we were laughing so hard at one of those dihatsu 1.3s. full body kit, biggest exaust id ever seen but no suspenion and was missin 3 mags. haha. it looked so funny

[REDSSS]

yeah brighton is bit like that... lots of rice... however there is also a good number of nice cars there too... lost count of how many skylines/200s/rexies/etc i saw there... all nicely modified

LOL @ that funny wing thing on the front, what a tossa!

[naturaldisasta]

Someone down near where I live has been trying to sell a VL crummodore for about 3 years now.

It has one of the excel shopping trolley/supra wannabee rear wing stuck in the middle of its boot. It has about 30cm clear on each side. He has painted the bonnet matt black, and black stripes on the roof. I think matt black was chosen possibley to imitate carbon fibre bonnet.

I havent seen it for a few weeks, but if I see it again I will take a photo of it so you can all laugh with me.

I'm hoping to buy a WRX sometime this year..

On the other hand, I MIGHT JUST GET ONE OF THESE!!!

[Salvo]

I had a mate with a Stock White VC Commodore.

It had a 163 ci Blue Motor, and Square-cut timing Gears.
(The 163 is the smallest stock engine in the Red-Blue-Black Holden Motor Series. Square-cut timing gears sound hot, but Don't hold the Cam in properly. You end up with your Cam shooting out through your Radiator. Helicial-Cut Gears don't allow any movement at all, but don't sound "As Tough")

He'd go down to the Dandy Drags and before he got there he'd disconnect the Bonnet Release Cable.

He'd pull up, everyone would hear the Whine of the Square-cut gears and assume he had a Turbo, and ask for a look. He'd go to open the bonnet, There'd be a *twang* as the cable hit something, and he'd pretend that he just snapped the Bonnet Release Cable, and apologise.

[Spectrix]

Hahah was the 163 the 4cyl model? It had 13 inch rims with 165/75/13 or something tyres. Looked great on the wagons. (please note sarcasm)

I once read an article about it where the author had said:

"...due to a hike in petrol prices in the early 80's Holden decided they needed an economical option in the commodore range.. however they didn't just use any old motor to furfill this plan, they picked a real old crapper... "

:thumbsup:

[Salvo]

Nah, the 163 was a 6-cyl.

Early Holden 6cyl Engines were always offered in two different sizes per model; 149/179-HP (Late EJ, EH, HD), 161/186-186s (HR, HK, HG, HT), 163/202 (HQ, HJ, HZ, WB/VB), 2.2/3.0 (WB, VC, VH, VK)

Anyway, back On-Topic.

Other tricks they used to do at the Dandy Drags was put Brake-Hose Clamps on the Rear Brake-lines, disconnect the Brake-lights and do burn-outs with the foot on the brake. If that's not Rice, I don't know waht is.

Back in the 70's, Browns Road, Noble Park was the local drag strip and everyone would bring along thier custom Drag Cars. Even the Police had one and used to race against the "Citizens" on this suburban Street. They'd bring along a christmas tree made out of a Traffic Light and marshall the event every Thursday Night. Now Browns Road has Speed Humps and Round-abouts.

[Fahootie]

today in indooroopilly I saw a hand painted (with a brush) blue Datsun 120Y with a wrx style bonnet scoop....very nice.

I reckon it added about 15Kw to the overall 35Kw total.

:silly:

[xlnsss]

guys dont think nissan's arent immune to rice, the other day i saw a grey n15 sedan (1.6l) with factory alloys and rear spoiler, but heres the good part it had a sticker that stretched from the front wheel arch to the rear wheel arch , below that bump strip that said "NISSAN 4WD". I was like what the ? :confused: :confused:

cheers

[naturaldisasta]

I wish I had my scanner. I just opened up an old max power mag and there is a readers car in there that has tons of those playboy bunny head stickers all over the car in strategic spots.

FREAK..

The car is crap as well.

Oh, btw, does any body work count as rice? Or is there a rice to performance ratio that you can apply?

Damon

[Salvo]

I s'pose Bodywork which doesn't add to the Performance or Practicability of the Vehicle would be considered Rice.

A HSV Spoiler on a Maloo wouldn't be Rice, Nor a Panel-van canopy on Mambo's SS "Sandman" Ute.
The holes I have cut in my N14 Q Bumper Facia isn't Rice because they're there to house the Aftermarket Foglights.
The vents in the facia, in front of an Excel's Wheels are not rice because they're the only way you can keep the POS brakes cool.

Side Skirts on just about any car is rice, except those ugly stainless steel ones on B&S Utes and High-performance Models like Nismos, WRXs and HSVs. They serve a Purpose.

Most Boot-spoilers are Rice, especially those big stainless steel ones on the back of Bogan Commodores (Me sings along to Area 7's "Nobody Likes a Bogan").

Foglights that are left on on bright sunny days are Rice... Turn them off and they're no longer rice.

An exhaust resonator, or HotDog, is Rice because it makes the Car sound like it's got something beefier in it. It has no performance value. No most cases it actually deteriorates performance.

A Meshed Grille is not Rice because it serves the purpose of keeping big insects out of the engine bay. If there is a design eched into the Mesh, then it could be considered Rice.

This is an incomplete list, and is just my Interpretation of what Rice is. I think a little bit of Rice doesn't hurt, if we didn't care what out cars looked like, we'd all be driving XD Falcons and Volvos. :)

hey

i drive a volvo 240 on my off days... :(

*hides*

at least it's an FR... :)

but yer.... WORST rice car...

my frien's green neon with ralliart mudflaps... since making 3 (that i know of) melbourne message boards as bad rice... he's changed them over to NEON mudflaps which would be okay... IF THEY WERENT RED.... hahaha... at least he's kept the theme over the whole car.. green and red... just like a christmas tree :)

hehehe....

*writes out a ticket*

[REDSSS]

if rice is defined as any car with a bit that doesnt add performance or functionality then almost every car out there is rice...

is there such a thing as a performance car without pointless bits... the wrx must be really rice then cause its got big foggies that u cant even turn on... a really big hole in the bumper for the non existent fmic, side skirts and spoiler that dont do anything, a momo steering wheel (well if it was on a civic it would be rice wouldnt it?) despite the fact that they are pretty damn quick they must still be rice eh!

how about the n14 sss and rnn14 gtir... skirts, front lip, wheel trim (fake flared guards!?), spoiler etc etc

what a bout the type-r, supra, etc etc

in MY opinion rice is making your car out to be something it is NOT and is the same thing as a sleeper but with opposite objectives

eg rice is
- sticking turbo/nos/etc stickers/badges on ur car when it isnt them
- badging ur car as a SSS when its a plus (saw one the other day - caught out from his plain n15 headlights -> no black surround)
- bodykit on a car with a family car engine
- fake metal petrol covers (ie those stickers ppl put on their petrol covers!!???
- car lowered with its wheels inside the arches

rice is NOT
- massive bodykit on 600hp beast!
- turbo badge on a turbo car
- 3 ft high adjustable spoiler on race car
- car lowered for ideal road or track use


anyway u get the idea

[Spectrix]

Stock wrx's aren't rice! They are rally cars, and the bits you might call rice on other cars are there for a reason on the rex.
The 99-00 models had large STi wings for downforce, the skirts for aerodynamics. The foggies do turn on and they have adjustable beam angles, via screws. The large hole in the front bar is for the radiator, but it also leaves room for the front mount that is fitted to most rally and track cars, the smaller holes are brake ducts. The steering wheel! That Momo tiller is a very comfy piece of equipment and serves the important purpose of steering the car.
And above all, these bits are original equipment on the car, so they're not really classed as rice anyway.

I certainly have some rice happening - mags, clear winkers and painted callipers. But no one laughs at me at the lights, so while these bits don't add to performance they are probably quite forgivable.

I think the important thing is that the performance ratio is the right way up, and it certainly is on most rexes, sss's and gti-r's. ;)

[WSSSUP]

A couple of weeks ago I was in the City outside a pub having a quiet beer and ciggie, when all of a sudden this low horrible noise was getting louder at louder.

I turned around to see a Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe 1.8, Done to the hilt with jumbo jet wings, a spoiler that belonged on a Mack truck, and Fluro lights coming out of every angle of the car.

And this guy had both windows down with Techno pumping.

I dont think he realized that people were looking at his car, Not because it was hot looking, but because he was a moving flashing Christmas Tree.

All rice and No spice.

Cheers

[Spectrix]

Lol.
How much do they spend on those lancers? Rice isn't cheap...
Makes you wonder if they'd pooled all the cash in the first place, maybe they could have bought a real car?

Heh.. I turned the music up to what I thought was pretty loud one day, wound all the windows down and got out of the car to hear what it sounded like from outside. Once I'd shut the door I could hardly hear it. :D

[naturaldisasta]

After spending hundreds on sound deadening, I would be dismayed to hear too much from outside the car with the windows down.

That why I laugh when I see cars cruising past with the back windows down and they still don't sound as loud as mine cranked with the windows up haha..

I still do the tune test on sundays at carparks with the windows down a little in the front, just so I know how much I am annoying the guy in front.

The best sticker I ever saw was "If it aint got bass, dont even try"

I think I might start handing them out.

[Darth Leunga]

I saw a Honda Civic hatch with a "VTi-R Coupe" sticker on it. I don't think I need to describe the rest of the car.

[podgesss]

Yes commies would have o be the worst, saya Vk commie half the car pink, half the car white, gaurds torn away by doing burnouts all the time, big arse aeroplane wing on it's boot, idling like it had 3 cylinders working out of 8, and hrmm yeah wanna be drag boy.

Excels bodykitted, STD wheels, tips, and hten thye expect to drag the SSS cause it has more plastic/fiberglass weighing it down .. Now that's funny.

Rotary boy's that sound like aeroplane's, idle at 5000 rpm, and struggle to change gears on cold mornings .. The joy's of rotary.

Pulsars base model, with SSS stickers (cut himself, not the porper one's), 15" mags, RPM stickers and the like all over it, and yeah, the power off a 1.6. Ha.

SSS's have enough go to be able to be riced up lots. Unlike Excels.

[naturaldisasta]

Just finished ricing up my car some more with a www.pulsar.org.au sticker.

Felt good.

everyone will phear me now :)

[Spectrix]

Funniest thing the other day, I heard a wrx coming - loud blatting noise and a pssshht sounds between gears... cept it wasn't a wrx, it was a 1983 subaru Leone sedan (small 2wd car bout the size of a laser.. my mum had one, it sucked)
Only this one had a very high lift kit and huge 4wd wheels, not to mention a motor that was waay to powerful for the chassis. What a %$^# moron. :vomit:

Then last night I saw a Honda Integra with a huge meshed front bar - it actually looked pretty good cept it had what looked like dim spotlights, but they turned out to be those chunky round reverse light capsuals you'd use on a trailer. :D

actually, resonators usually make the exhaust quieter and sound better... and I cant see how they would have a negative effect on performance..

How about this coroalla

It wanted to race us yesterday lol :silly:

[REDSSS]

sorry bringing up an old thread but thought this was funny...

big semi trailer goes past me @ night time... had to look twice at this one

blue neon tube attached to the bonnet! AND in the cabin i could see a shtload of blue LEDs glaring out at me...

LOL! the rice fever is spreading... even truck drivers are not immune now

[slut]

Actually, I've got one too... a purple Chrysler Neon decked out in Viper GTS stickers. Saw it up at Caloundra a few weeks back... what an absolute waste of time.

[n15mo_SSS]

I apologise to those who have them, but i am really sick and tired of those washer lights on the bonnets!!!! :barf: not sure about you guys, passing a car with fully bling bling is acceptable, but don't you reckon passing a car, fully bling bling, with those washer lights is a joke?!?!? :confused:

I've seen a toyota tarago with those light's and that really deserves a....."WHAT THE.....???"

couldnt see that it was a ute from where i was... just saw the commie front and he had 3 ladders on the roof side by side... the middle one was painted white and the two outer ones were red and blue so it seriously looked like a cop car in the distance... what a moron

My friend owns the trophy for biggest ricer in western Sydney.
Twin Cam Excel.

Twin 3" exhaust.
Custom airbrushing.
Retrimmed interiour.

Chrome 17" rims.
Huge ****ing wing.
Glitter paint job.
Disco ball.

Oh, and a Chiptorque stage II turbo kit, pushing out around 130kw at the wheels at 13psi.

Still, it's rice.

I saw this car doing laps of the city today after i finished work.. funny stuff

[atmoboy]

I riced up my wifes Barina 5- door ( swift shape) before i got the N15.

*15in TSW rims ( bought 2nd hand and fitted myself)
*removal of all badges ( did myself)
*fitment of Gti rear hatch spoiler ( did myself)
*meshed up front grille ( did myself)
*3" chrome tip on exhaust ( did myself)
*fitment of Bali immitation leather 12"MOMO steering wheel and Nikken gear knob (did myself)
*2.5"cold air feed from front bar up to standard air cleaner unit. (It's the 1994 carby motor [did myself])
*RED LINE OIL sticker on front windscreen ( yeah as you may have guessed, i was forced to book it into the workshop for that to be fitted!)

TOTAL RICE UP!!!!!!

But it's actually a pretty cool looking little machine ( no, don't have pics. the car is white, so use your imagination) and it often fools the best of them and it keeps up with cars like ( dare i say it?) stock Excels. Not too bad for a 1300cc carby motor that is really pretty much stock. I guess it must just be the way i.... CANE THE GUTS OUT OF IT!!!!!!

[Sam]

I have a seen a mazda 626 about a 92 model. It is white with 17"s and a side mounted autotechnica exhaust (i think it is side mounted so that he didn't have to remove his tow bar. It is an auto and it weak a piss. It has the brightest driving lights that i have ever seen and they are on rain hail and shine...what a **** wit. It also has nos stickers, auto meter stickers and various car audio stickers all over it. And in side it he has about 5 auto meter guages. I don't think this bum has a job and justs drives around doing laps all day. :gay: ....what a pounce.


Thats my 2c

i was thinkin WTF who even makes those lights for such a shtbox and why would he spend $500 on lights when his bumpers hanging on with a bit of string

anyways i got closer and saw that it was a homemade job... the guy had got silver contact and cut out circles in it and stuck it on his tail lights... looked really sht from within 10m... to top it off his tail light covers were really faded so the light glowing through the holes in the contact was pink not red...

what a POS!

Saw a Yellow Toyota Cressida Today. It was being driven by a Tosser w/ Texta-tattoos on his forearms, a sleeveless Black T-Shirt, and too much wax in his hair.

The Parcel Shelf and Dash had Faux Tiger Skin, the Dashboard had Black and Yellow Vinyl detailing, but the back window was the funniest....

In the Centre was the Logo of The "Independant Truck Company" arrainged Vertically, rather than diagonally. (for those non-skaters it's similar to the WW1 German insignia). It was flanked on each side by black and Yellow Street-number labels (The type that you wouldn't even put on a Wheelie Bin) spelling...

"STRAIT" "PIMPIN"
