I agree with the op in regards to being a bit irked seeing nice cars get shitted out. Unfortunately it is inevitable, and stupid people will do stupid things.

The kid I sold my stock 300zx to just sent me a new pic of how "hellaflushed" and "stanced" it is currently. Now while the old me would love to drive to his house and bitchslap the shit out of him, I don't let it bother me. I just smiled and shook my head.


@husker741 words of advice: Don't allow other people's stupidity to affect you. You do what you want with your car, and let them do what they want with their car.

I'm pretty new to the 86 community, also the car community in general. But from what I'm understanding ( correct me if I'm wrong) but if you don't like the way a car looks then it automatically becomes a ricer?
Much like video games where if you die then you're a noon. If you win then your a hacker.

No one can win.

Just wait until your insurance goes up again when people like this get into accidents.

listen, the only thing that you should car about is what affects you.
insurance going up? yes. that sucks.
idiots making their cars uglier than yours? good!

think about how cheap junkyard parts are gonna be in the next 5 years! the yards are gonna be FULL of twins, just waiting to be picked.

my buddy chris put it perfectly. this is a unique car, in that it has almost no direct "rivals", but they are in no way special.

if they'd not offered an autotragic transmission, that would make the car unique. kids who are moving from their auto civic to an auto twin, deserve what's coming to them.

Probably not or the thread would be gone or locked. It should have been left in the grave though.

Sorry still new to the forum and trying to read as much as I can, this one just caught my eye. Not cause I'm a ricer but cause if someone likes a mod and wants to use it then more power to them, it's when they driving e like assholes when it becomes wrong

Wasn't sure on the rule for grave digging won't do it next time :P

Not a problem really it will just die again eventually. No real rule but do try to steer away from resurrecting something to say "me too" or reiterate something that has already been said many times. Keep in mind that if a thread has been dead for a couple of years there is probably a very good reason it has stayed that way.
There is nothing funnier than somebody that resurrects a thread to argue with or ask a question of a member that disappeared 3 or 4 years ago.

Don't worry about the anti rice crowd. Many will make jokes but don't really mean it. The ones that do mean it just ignore. Opinions will differ and the guy that hates XXXX mods is as entitled to say so as much as the guy that loves them.

I love my car and plan on getting a shelby when I'm older and have 60k but for now I can't stand seeing them. And just the looms of an frs made my heart poop it's pants. I plan on test driving one tomorrow.

Just remember these are not point and stomp cars. They will require your best driving skills but will reward you in a manner that is truly exhilarating when you get it right.

I thought quite the opposite...Given I don't plan to rice out my car the abundance of modifications available that will rice out the car is only a good thing because that means there is a lot of aftermarket support for the car...not all of it would be ricer. So if I do decide to do some tasteful mods they will be more available than with other cars.
