"Rice" Discussion
So I've noticed that vertical doors have been gaining more traction as of recent. It doesn't look terrible on some brz and frs but I wouldn't rock them lmao. So what makes something considered rice, non functionality for track? Wouldn't that make popular mods such as air suspension "rice" lmao.
Man at this point ima start using rice as engine oil next oil change. |
WTF
|
Honestly, does it matter? Most people use that term to describe something they don’t like about someone’s car nowadays. But at the end of the day, who cares what someone does to their car? Their money. So if they’re happy with vertical doors on their BRZ/FRS, then so be it. Although I’m with you, I wouldn’t either. No need to hate though. That attitude is what divides the car community. Just focus on your own project, as they have been.

If you are looking for opinions, oh boy have you come to the right place. I recommend starting here:

What has changed is that now everybody is just supposed to smile and nod at everything whether they like it or not and not hurt some snowflake's feelings. Just because somebody expresses an different opinion doesn't make them a hater even if they hate it. So let's drop this everybody hold hands and sing kumbaya shit and let people express their opinions in any manner they wish. |

"Rice" Discussion
I don’t care about ricer mods as long as it doesn’t impact anyone else’s safety.
Stickers and ugly body kits? Fine honestly. Cambered out slammed suspension, vertical doors that will come off in a crash, huge wings that are held on with Chinese tape, shit wheels with even shittier tires? Yea I have a problem with that cause when that goes wrong and I’m in the oncoming lane it’s going to ruin my day. |
"Rice" is an attitude, too. Dude in my building with an obnoxiously loud Nissan who makes as much noise as possible. No other visible mods, but he for sure is a ricer.
|
I like to sprinkle in a little rice every now and then

problem w 90's jdm?
the z32 @ 2:35... nut most would whisper harsh words seeing these cars out an about, let them. The thing about most car guys is they're non judgmental. if you consider yourself a car guy, go post some positive comments on a BOVAGON video.

Race inspired cosmetic enhancements.
Basically anything you put on your car, not for it's actual functionality, but to make it look like a race car. |
I really think rice is a state of being. If you have a 300whp KA24DET swapped 91 Honda Civic that's loud, rusty, with blacked out taillights, it's cool, right?
You won't know until the driver gets in. When he does his one wheel peel burnout at every stop light, revs outrageously and activates 2 step at publicly used gas stations, gives people in Prius' the finger as he goes by, you can make an assessment. If he drives respectfully, shows up at car meets and is humble, treats other drivers with courtesy, the car somehow loses its rice, right? Just the same as when someone in an alpine white BMW 335XI goes by you with tinted window, you're thinking "man, what a prick" when it's actually grandma with light sensitivity driving. |
"Rice" = Any mod that is worthless used.
|
Pretty much do whatever you want. Just don’t be a douche about it and don’t put anyone’s life in danger.
|
"Rice" is just a newer term for some car modifications, some of us used to call certain modifications to certain cars by certain people, " ________ up" a car - :iono:

I think it’s more if the job was done poorly and it looks cheap. Like a big giant wing for a DD looks absurd on some cars but pretty good on others.

That's not what I said at all. No one said you weren't allowed to have a negative opinion. I said it myself, I don't exactly agree with vertical doors on a BRZ but there's a difference between disagreeing with someone's tastes and then blatantly disrespecting someone. Quote:
I agree with you with the divided car community part. No one said that everyone is supposed to smile and nod at everything. You can disagree with someone without being a total prick about it. As I said earlier, there's a difference between expressing a dislike for something vs blatantly disrespecting someone. It's this attitude that continues to flourish that allows for it continue being divided. |
This is the most riced out mod I've ever seen
https://media3.giphy.com/media/DXLo2...&rid=giphy.gif I'll see myself out... |

If someone puts an attention seeking mod on their car, they are going to get attention that may not always be positive. If they take that as disrespect, then I would say they have never experienced real adversity in life. |

Except... There are some "enthusiasts" that do things that I can not say ANYTHING nice about. He removed the fenders to get more camber??? There is no other way I can describe this but, STUPID! Example: https://jalopnik.com/this-scion-fr-s...ere-1828664969 |

effort shows. rice is hack. i respect a lot of low rider builds, not because the cars, the concepts, or the colors/murals interest me, but because the infinite detail the guys put into the builds.
i can respect a carefully put together lambo-doored civic. i will call a $60k corvette with chrome decals and pep boys led strips rice. |
Quote:
I see rice as low budget, tasteless mods often not executed very well. Chrome door edge trim makes me shudder. This actually made me think of a local who took it to the extreme. If you google "Ottawa Honda accord" it's the second photo in images, and you get linked to various stages of the car. :lol: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/12...b88da2b1a1.jpg |
I use a Zojirushi and washed short grain.

A few of them are absolute douchebags; really, really arrogant to the point of talking down to others for expressing their opinion (on completely different subject matter entirely, mind you) and calling them poor idiots. Congratulations on having that much disposable income to throw at a BRZ, but your car's still just as slow as the stock FR-S right next to it. |

Maybe we should call some of the "riced out" cars - "car art" - :iono:

white rice , brown rice ...
I usually like white jdm cars/ trucks , but my first was a metallic brown '79 Celica GT. Brown rice is more nutritious then white. |
GT Wings almost always, non functional hood scoops always, and basically any roof scoop on any car = 100% pure old fashioned rice. Other body changes, like body ground kits, are kinda grey area because it could just be a personal taste of cosmetics. If mixed with the aforementioned wing and scoops, then yes, its a riced car, imo. However, a lot of body kits are there purely for cosmetics. Whether or not you're a fan of the style, doesn't make it rice, it just means it doesn't suit you.
Exhaust, wheels, and lowered suspension, are not rice. |

You owned a second gen JDM Celica? Be pretty cool to have actually. |

Pretty much why I'm hesitant to add hood vents to my car. I'm not liking the verus ones and the CF one I would have to paint match (not a fan of the raw CF hood unless it's subtle/blending like on a black car). Kind of need them since I'm FI and temps are a bit high, but I don't want that instagram clout. |
