I've heard the term "ricer" used from time to time in this forum....I don't understand that term - could somebody help me out?

Here is your answer. Follow this link for more info. http://www.goingfaster.com/spo/you_migh ... er_if.html

The term "ricer" was first used to talk about people who race and modify Japanese FWD cars. It has since been modified to people who build gaudy, foreign cars (and even American FWD cars) to look like the picture above. Basically someone who tries to make they car look fast but doesn't make it actually fast.

Well, that's not quite as bad as I thought.... having grown up in the midwest where the grandfather of one of my high school class mates was grand dragon of...... more than enough said.... That web link was a scream! And I have seen cars that look like that picture!

A 'ricer' as stated above is a car that is gaudy on the exterior and has little to no go under the hood.

My God, Rasermon. Where did you get that picture? LoL!!! Thats one of the best examples I've seen! LOL!

I did a Google search (ricer) and that was the very first link to show up. Guess I was lucky.LOL, how to build a ricer. Well click here.

That is an excellent picture of a "ricer". Funny thing is, there are a lot of cars that look almost exactly like that in my area. There is a house that I pass by from time to time that has 3 cars that are all like this. I believe that they are all Honda's.

This guy has waaaaay too much time on his hands. Red Green he isnt. LoL Wonder what he drives.....

How the hell do you end up with three freakin' tailpipes???? Is one just fo deceration? Is that another Bubb Rubb mobile? Could you imagine three whistle on that piece of crap. Oh my god the horror!!!!

The best ever was an early 90s Chevy mini van that I saw. Was lowered with nice 16" rims. Was flat black with purple racing stripes. Somehow they got a large wing on top and had chrome everything. I had pictures but lost them. They best was the picture of the guy flipping me off because I was laughing and photographing him.

Ricer=Big_Dog, the guy that just got kicked off this board. Said he was running 11's. Got pissed 'cause I called him out and went off. maybe he meant 1/8 mile?

Rice-Boy is a stereotype. The typical Rice-Boy can be identified by his car, or rather what he does to it. Generally, Rice-Boy will start out with a car that was not meant to go fast (typically a Honda Civic), and attempt to "fix it up," usually consisting of aftermarket rims, lowering springs and an aftermarket exhaust system with a large exhaust tip. Most Rice-Boy cars (or "Rice Rockets") have the usual complement of stickers proudly displaying features that the car might or might not have, most notably, the Honda VTEC sticker from the later model Preludes, and the plaques from the later model Integras. Rice-Boys do not exclusively drive Japanese cars. There are quite a few fake Mustang '5.0's and Camaro Z28's out there, as well as quite a few strange looking Neons. http://www.riceboypage.com/Go to the hall of shame on this site.Also see : http://www.beaterz.com

I like some cars with wire wheels depending on how they are set up.But I hate little donut wheels like those.We can go into a whole other car category.......lowriding etc..I think the person who's car we are talking about above got confusedand stuck between half rice rocket and half low rider.
