:rolleyes:

if i don't know what JDM is, then I wouldn't have said the B16A is a JDM engine. remember my advice? think/read before you say something????

which btw after rereading your post, good one on the JDM engine mods. While you're at it, I would love to install JDM oil filter, JDM air filters, and possibly a JDM tissue box too.

oh btw, all this time you have been accusing me of ricer....

so i guess it would suck for you to actually let you know that I drive a fully stock 325i as my daily car.

but i guess you're too busy calling that rice too. ;)

LMAO this thread is getting funny. And no MameXP... I wouldn't be stupid enough to call Velocity. Cause I know how much that kind of work costs and know you're full of it!

Also ricer is really used too much. Ricer generally means that if they do more appearance mods than performance mods... it's a ricer. Or giving the appearance of power when there really is nothing inside to back it up. This Civic, while ugly as hell, still has some balls, so it's really hard to call it a ricer. Regardless if it has balls or not... he can't be charging someone for all the fun he had choosing all the parts and getting everything done. That's the main reason someone does something like that to a civic. Everyone knows it does nothing to increase the stock value.

On the other hand, MameXP... your "friend's" RSX, which you probably lied about anyway, is a pure ricer. He modified the outside without touching anything on the inside. And it looks very cheap wtih the snap-on wide body kit... and even changed the name! Here's a definition of rice from wikipedia.org, including a part on name-changing.

The term rice burner or rice car most often refers to automobiles (usually economy cars) that have the appearance of a customized or high performance car, but often little or no functional modifications, such as an improved engine, suspension, or brakes. This practice is in contrast to the "stealth" or "sleeper" style of automotive modification where a vehicle may have major internal modifications for greater performance, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model.

Some people will call any Asian made vehicle a "rice car", frequently derogating it in favor of US-produced vehicles. There is also some confusion with the term "rice rocket," meaning a fast car, sports car, or sport motorcycle from Japan. Alternatively, the term "rice burner" is also used derogatively by American bikers to refer to foreign-make motorcycles.

Identity crisis
An identity crisis can occur when an individual adds decals, badges or other identifiers from one type of vehicle onto another vehicle of the wrong type, or to a vehicle that does not contain the modifications or special attributes indicated by the accessory; examples could include an Impreza WRX sporting a VTEC sticker, or a Honda CR-X with a TRD (Toyota Racing Development) badge (by eliminating "ota" it would produce Toy Racing Development, a graphic modification done by some Toyota Truck enthusiasts). Honda vehicles, as an example, can often be observed with examples of identity crisis between different versions of the same models, with Type R badges on sedan Civics (the Civic Type R is only available in hatchback form) and older Civics made before the Type R was available.

AinSane, (are you insane? )
Nice!!! :D I really hoped you call them, it would be even funnier because they can actually do all that for $2500 to your mazda, making it looks so pimp you dont want to drive it no more

His name is Chris in Cali, friend of my cousin. His kit is the first Prodrive kit in US, they used his car for show thus the sticker just as an incentive. He got it almost for free. And no its not cheap, lol....


Now , Fast-N-Furious_TypeR good that you drive Beamer. Too bad you cant put JDM sticker on it can you?

You're so dumb that you cant see my point. JDM engine conversion is to upgrade all the necessary parts that match the JDM model of that car.

Thus RSX-S to SpoonRSX, or RSX-S to JDM ITR (NOT AU ITR i know you dont even know the diff between the 2)

Thats what i mean by JDM body with JDM engine mods.

Here is another point for you. A USDM Civic SiR with HSK Turbo, blah blah puting down over 200WHP, painted WHITE with......TypeR sticker all over.

Is it rice? Yes. It doesnt matter if you have power but you try to be something that you're not is also ricer (the owner wants his car looks like TypeR for attention). Unless the civic was fully TypeR converted and turboed

Ricer is also difined as ainsane quoted, any mods that makes the car looks fast also means rice.

Yo, typeR here is a slogan for you to put in sig. " If it aint TypeR, it aint a tight car ....yo"

Maybe you should have said you drive a Foxbody GN,

its pretty funny how you change your stance every single time. first you were calling me a ricer, which you got schooled, and then now you're telling me to slap JDM stickers on an European car, which is clearly a form of ricer. Then you say how this Civic is ricing, theny you tell people to not rice you slap on JDM body kits and JDM engine mods, which makes no sense first and second, which is still rice. So what are you going to say next? From where you're going, I wouldn't be surprised that you say waxing your car is a form of ricing because it adds 'bling', which is an appearence enhancement and therefore rice.

If I remembered correctly, someoen was commenting on how much he likes his friend's RSX snap-on widebody kit, how that OEM A-SPEC RSX looks awesome (LOL that was a joke, make sure you look at the logos before boasting about it), but i guess you're too shameless to recall that.

Just to let you know, your 'ricer' posts are not helping you, but they are quickly ricing up your reputation :)

WTF? Are you really that retard? Since when i told you to put JDM stickers on your car? You dont even understand i was making fun on you? Jesus christ....

JDM model conversion is rice you said? WTF in your head? No wonder you're a ricer because a ricer dont see the line. They're already in Rice zone.
