Ricer terminology

[Pistol Gripper]

I'm trying to find common words and phrases ricers use.  In case I ever have to communicate with one.  I can find plenty of definitions of the term ricer (  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricer  )  but not their language.

Naws - Nitrous Oxide
VTEC - Sticker purchased at Pep Boys
Dinosaur - Domestic car with large V8, typically much faster than the car owned by the speaker.

List a few for me please,

P.G.

ricer fly-by= racing a far more powerful car and after he lets off the gas you finally speed up and get past them and turn on your flashers

"Rolling race, anyone?" as a kid drives up in a Honda Civic or Prelude is all I can think of at this time..Not to mention I'm almost done with my dinner break.

Yes, even sport compact drivers call them fart cans. 
Uncle Ben's Rice - SRT-4 or Cobalt SS/SC
Riced-out - A car that has enough stickers and ugly upgrades for 10 ricers

And I found this one on the Honduh forums...
Rice - Really Ingorant Car Enthusiast

The other, more politically-correct term would be "fruit-shooter."  And no, I don't have one on mine.

Ha, learn something new everyday!  Fruit shooter!

I didn't have one on my Integra, I had a Cherry Bomb straight through muffler, loud and raspy!

Here's a definition that someone has as their signature writing at another site:
Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt

A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Body kit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performance intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some 3000gt's Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therefore not always considered rice, but it really depends on the severity of the case.

I think he stated it quite well with the closing paragraph.

Ever had a look at "Bryan's Riceboypage"?

Go look at: www.riceboypage.com - it's freakin hilarious!

Look at the pictures in the "Hall of Shame" and "Hall of Shameless"  ...not to forget all the funny comments

Hard to imagine that some of these guys actually believe their "cars" would be better than American classics!

I had a Dodge SRT4 prior to my '72 Challenger, and the ricer boy scene was one of the major reasons behind getting rid of it. There are of course fast cars out there (STI's, EVO's, twin turbo Supras,etc), but the majority of them are Honda civics and the like that would be doing good if they broke 100 hp. The SRT4 puts down 230 whp, but believe me it doesn't stop the civic si wanna be's from revving on you at lights. And then of course there's that ricer fly by, love that. Put 4 or 5 car lengths on them off the light, shut down at something resembling a speed limit, and wait a few seconds before lame ricer catches up and goes blowing by you. 

Here's a few fun one's from a "rice spotted" page on the old SRT forum...(the "wheat burners" can be pretty elitist  )


Its not just japanese cars!

duct tape and PVC makes everything faster


what is wrong with this guy?

needs a bigger wing, gotta love rear downforce of FWD cars...

OH NO....

I don't know...I try to have an open mind about all things with 4 wheels...and being that more and more imports come to the track I joined a tuner board last year just to understand "the scene"

I know that weather will stop some driver's from taking out their cars...I don't own a $30,000 car true but a little rain or even snow will not kill it. I just find the import owners act like sissies and I don't mean to disrespect but they were whining about snow that had fallen and yet it was a glorious day for a cruise the snow had stopped and was melting quickly...and few jumped on me "excuse me but some of us sink 15 grand into our cars and want to drive them occasionally"

Personally 15 grand would buy me 1/2 of the Charger I want to buy looool not a bunch of for "looks only" parts...I don't find their cars are "tuff" but they sure think they are...compared to this forum...all they do is talk smack and talk about females in the worst way...like gangsters really...sure some of their cars are beautiful...but the owners act really ugly

When they talk everything ends in Z instead of S

Popping Looks like "yo that dude be poppin' looks...that's when you look over to another driver...without talking your eyes agree to a race

Pinch...dude pinch his a$$ !! so they are racing side by side and the racer will swerve over to the opponents lane...it's a "Pinch" because the opponent now has to slam the brake to divert an accident. (OK they aren't to wise when racing either)

Then you have Topped out so I topped out and I still gots da gizzy yo! Pretty self explanatory they reached max speed

Then you got the Po-Po like mans we gots da go!! Po-Po also know as the Police. Racing usually won't go "down" if the Po-Po are around...unless of course the other dude threw down

You may encounter a little Tail Stepping aw he be tail steppin!

Again another form of unsafe driving loool one driver will chase the other driver staying a short distance away regardless of what the other driver's speed is...they do this to tempt him to race

So you don't get ahead they will Box they'll block you with few cars so you won't be able to pass the other driver during a race

And if you happen to get boxed or pinched you may get Wrecked. If you get wrecked the race is officially over...you have had an accident and the other driver has won...even if they were losing

I guess there is a reason why a majority of the accidents around here are import related

A Dig means standing start and Torque means...never mind they don't know what Torque is

It poured rain last night...few people asked about a cruise and others asked horrified..."You take your car out in the rain ??!!"

I don't... I...... I just don't know what to say



While picking up some parts saw this...bet that wing gives mad down force yo

That last one, you can just imagine some little voice inside the owners head:  "Help me!  I just can't stop adding stuff to my car!!"
