hello Scientist, I am mature enough not to reply and say "you probably drive a POS" I have been on this forum for a very long time and get along great with many of the people here, so for you to tell me to quit dissing others rides i rarely ever diss anybody in general. I make my cars for speed not looks. Also another thing is I know 4 of the people that own those cars anyway, I used to go to high school with them. I dont care what you drive, a car is a car, I was just stating my opinions on these peoples rides. I am sorry to hear that I upset you, I hope from hear on we can get along. thanks- blacksabbath070

lol, i think 'rides' sounds funny. Ya know, ive looked in the auto recycler and people sell good cars such as chargers, mustangs (older), bel airs, cobras, some others, for very cheap, probably less than those guys queer imports. It bugs me that people would spend $1000's on the looks of there car, but not $50 on there engine. My dad says work on the engine before anything else (he used to build race cars, dragsters, dragged himself). Right now im saving up for a 24' Ford T-bucket project to fix up myself, ya know the first thing im gonna buy is a engine and then worry about looks. And i just wanna add that making your exhaust pipe as big as a melon doesnt help any except making your pewny 90hp engine louder.

Ovgron,
your right and wrong about fixing up the engine first...you would fix up the engine first if your drag racing...but for tracks, people pay more attention to the handling and weight...did you ever hear about 2 truneos beating a skyline r34? one of the truneos engines were stock..one had 160 hp an the other had 200...the 160 hp with a modifed suspension beat the skyline and the 200hp truneo...the 200 hp truneo with a set of coilovers beat the skyline..the stock skyline came in last...by a distance..but since i suppose you are talking about drag racing ill stop...i hate drag racing i only have one thing to say...Real racers turn both left and right..

this is sorta bugging me but i have to say it. not all people who drive civics or integras are rice boys. i live in pa and what i heard is teh law here is you can't even do nething performance to your engine. thats atleast what i heard. and well i know like 4-5 people with some really nice civics and integras. they are not lil riceboys liek you guys are dissing people here. these kids cars are nicer than you could imagine. they dont just give lil stuff liek a body kit for looks they have everything form full custom interior to custom paint job to custom painted engine....and a bunch of them are running turbo with only one of them running nitrous oxide. but around here you rarely see any ars considered to be rice only a couple. and one of my friends civics is lowered 4 inches but he has to raise it up because it is illegal right now...the front headlight has to be liek 12 inches from the ground , his is only 10

someone had a bit too much time on their hands...
why do we hate ricers anyways? they're hilarious, and fun to laugh at, but hate? no. The official definition of a ricer is a car made to look fast, and ends up stupid, so why do we call something a ricer because it's all show and no go?
thats just my 2 cents.

Hey guys, wazzup! This is my first post and I thought it would be nice to do it in this thread (since I also have a lot of fun laughing at riceboys ). Anyway I've bought a MicroSizer about two months ago and it has just arrived today yaaay very fun little thing to play with
I just wanted to say that I agree with blacksabbath070's and Ovgron's point of view about this ricer subject, IMO the first thing one has to modify in their car is the engine and other ACTUAL performance parts. Personally, if I had a really kickass car with like 500hp I wouldn't touch the outside appearance, I'd leave it completely stock looking so no one would suspect that I could beat the crap out of them.
Here's a little something I've made in Photoshop that you might find pretty funny
