well i didn't say 5spd did i lol
stock 5spd crx will do 15.5 1/4's

i can't see a stock i6 doing it any quicker

[gozza]

i can see a debate comming on
i was just expressive my opinion on how i respect the cars engines and drivelines
i had an 84 civic 5spd and the manual in it was a dream

how can that be a fair comparison then???
you have to put manuals with manuals if you want to compare them....


on the ricer-ness, i saw a stock EF Fairmont today with a aluminium ricer wing on the boot...
got a photo of it on my phone but cant work out how to upload it to my pc...grr

i dont think it is. they're both butt ugly, but not rice.

Why would you torment a BA?

Raven that was a great laugh you gave me. It reminded of guys from Uni. One in particular with a riced up Hyundai!!

Today I saw a Riced up Lancer down Lygon St he struggled to do a U-turn because his wheels were so big that it was rubbing against the guard with a quarter turn of the wheel. My g/f summed it up perfectly when she said "What a loser".

I have to agree with both of these statements.

So how long have you owned the CRX ? :

[ClassicAU]

ech, CRX. Its like honda couldnt afford to make new car, so the just chopped an old one in half!

and shift lights on an automatic car, i dont care what it is, has got to be rice!
oh, and a Fairmont Ghia grille on a Futura! :P

[SSBUB]

im gonna get flamed big time for this but it says in Ravens post that one rice identifier is naming the specs of your car which include things like stereos, neons and what not...i have noticed theres a few posts here that label these types of things. Are they rice?

[ClassicAU]

thats true. since when is an aftermarket stereo in a standard car rice? arnt we allowed to apreciate good quality sound?

having the equipment isnt rice, its class, but having stickers plastared all over the car telling others you have the equipment is pure rice......sorry but thats my belief

[Falcon Coupe]

Worst common culprit i see are stock 6 cylinder auto sedans with 5" monster taco's, but i suppose they need them to see where the auto is changing gears for them, and the big shift light is good for getting a sun tan while doing a burnout.

Rice, IMO is based purely on opinion, cannot be put down to one thing.

[Bucknaked]

Not to mention this one. Big wing, side skirts, carbon fibre bonnet and big wheels. And its a 6 Cyl. Bloody ricer :

[Rmyers]

Rice really is in the eye of the beholder. The japanese car community also use the term "rice", which define IMO what should be classified as rice (underbody neons, huge towel rack rear wings etc). Aussie car owners usually have a broader veiw of what defines rice, often being anything that is of japanese origion.

In my opinion ricey is over the top. Grapics can be good if are small but noticable eg a hood graphic. Bigger rims can look good but if you go to big like tempy typer's VL with 24inch rims that looks ricey. Small sleak spoilers can look good but big over compensation spoilers make a car look ricey. I can go on and on but you get what i mean.

Its different and original how many VLs do you see around with VY SS fronts on them?

Also where would the originality be if it still had the normal VL front? it would just be another boring red VL Turbo.

now it looks like another boring red vy ss..

I run a standard BA 6cyl XT auto 15.5 at Heathcote few months back half a tank of 91 ron fuel. 93.5mph and i ain't no light weight jockey... :

I think its a matter of taste ! you can get 2 identical cars and 2 different people modify them , do similar mods to them and one can look realy good work well and be easy to live with ! The other one looks like a comic strip car with oversize flairs and spoilers, lights all over it doesnt go like it should with similar money spent on the mechanicals and couldnt pass a roadside test ! In my opinion , Rice is the second car . I dont know hy there is so much confusion on this so called issue!

I think if it looks like some shytebox thats just come from japan and was owned by some streetdrifter then its basically rice ! If it looks more like it was well thought out and professionaly moded car well usually not ! ya see the other type all the time ! The car looks all shiney with its billion dollar graphics , doof doof , 18 inch blings , more lights than the myer christmas tree, and looks like its doing a million miles an hour standing still. then he takes off and the thing sounds like 100 poofs farting in sucsession and is going nowwhere fast to get overtaken by a chick on a moeped ! that is most deffinately rice

A shaker on a BA GT is rice not! But my thought is its shape and contrast is just not complimenting the already tough sexy shape the car natrally has ! maybe the same sort of thing but designed to fit the car better might work, but why screw around with a perfect design ??????????

Anything that looks completly stupid to me is rice.

I.e those big *** Holden or Ford stickers across the front window of Commodores and Falcons like hello we know its a Holden and a Ford no need to remind us. _

what about a rules sign, i saw one of them and it seemed cool cause u new it was a holdern and it has rules on it.

my car looks good but runs (well at least until i drop the 8 into it) does that make it a rice car, at least until i drop some more blocks in there

[Deadman]

rice = those crappy looking bonnet scoops on the last monaro... damn that's an ugly car
