Really your calling me a troll? Yes I know what a ricer is... Its not like I dont have a Subaru and a bunch of VW's. But I dont post them on LS1Tech for attention.
If your spoiler interferes with your rear view mirror, your ordering a SSQV bov, and Brembo stickers... well then three counts for a ricer.

Yes, I am calling you a troll, coming onto my thread calling my car a "ricer". If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. The Brembo stickers are to get the original brembo look on the calipers you dumbass, because as you can see, I had no choice but to paint over the "Brembo" letters because they came faded out once I bought the car. I'd love for you to explain to me why a ssqv bov is "ricer". I know people with turbo'd gt's and f-body's running them. A real ricer would paint his wheels green and stick "nos" stickers all over the car. I never said the spoiler is interfering with my vision, stop making **** up. Not every one has the same taste or thinks the same way. If I want to make a thread showing enthusiasts that i purchased a rare care, who cares, there is nothing you are going to do about it.

Youre not a troll....you are an elitist *******. This could be a great oportunity to pack your bags and the hell out of here. This site does not need another idiot like you.

But in all fairness, the term "ricer" actually stems from the term "riceburner".
'Riceburner' originally referred to ANY vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle etc.) from any Asian based manufacturer.
But so much time has passed since these goofy terms were even invented and the average age of so many that are buying Asian imports today is probably too young to even remember when or why the term was first made popular or used in the first place LOL.
Over the years, the meanings have gotten a little convoluted and misinterpreted, so much so that even a General Motors vehicle that was designed and manufactured in the United States can now be called 'a ricer' just because it has some stickers and a wing on it which I never understood.
It might be derogatory and it might no longer be relevant, but the origins of the term still cannot be denied.

I am old enough to remember riceburner lol
nowadys the common definition I see is
R acing
I nspired
C osmetic
E nhancements
which to me is when you try to make something not so special look like its something by adding lots of visuals but you still have a slow turd.
this evo is a well respected performer and so far everything done to it visually is of the subltle tasteful variety.
ricer can also be a person with a certain attitude that would say things like:
my civic is running 50 pounds of boost and putting down 1200 hp
hp per liter
oh yeah well my buddys supra would destroy your pushrod LS1
if you had painted the calipers , wheels , and spoiler lime green along with matching underglow lights , and a dozen various stickers on the rear side glass then I would expect some negative comments
this is a local section your posting because your excited about your new toy to people that maybe you have even met in person

Did you really just compare putting a BOV on a factory turbo car with the stock turbo to a aftermarket forced induction f-body or stanger? That in itself is funny. Around here when someone has a stock turbo car with a BOV we call them ricers.
Thanks for the free entertainment guys!

Anyways. I went with Prosport gauges in my WRX. Prices were reasonable and i've zero issues with them. I have boost, EGT and oil pressure in mine. If you know anyone looking for a set of from brembo's for a EVO VIII LMK i have a set i was gonna swap onto my WRX.

You dont even know me.... why dont you stop drawing conclusions over an internet forum. But since you called me an *******, go **** yourself. Meanwhile, what exactly does questioning someone over posting a Japanese car on a forum named LS1TECH have to do with being elitist? Especially when I said I also owned the same class of car. I post things related to that car on its respective forum. Same in that I dont post details about my domestic car on the Japanese forum. Seems simple to me... but maybe its harder to understand to an idiot like you.
Ahhh how cute. You obviously took what I said way too serious... but its funny you get so fired up over a simple forum comment. Welcome to the internet... its a public forum where people can say whatever they want. If you dont like it... get thicker skin. Because exactly like you said "there is nothing you are going to do about it."

Just confirmed that you are truly an ******* so; welcome to the internet where people say whatever you want! If you dont like it get a thicker skin...hows that, cupcake?
Oh and here is the best thing of all, you cant do anything about it.

Really someone can't post pictures of their evo up on here without getting crap? Ricer does not = import. It's the type of owner and the mods he does that makes him a ricer. We all have some ricer in us. Whether it's tinted tail lights or stickers/wings. Plenty of people do mods to cars on here that have no positive effect on performance. So what?
I'd much rather read about this car then read about guns post or "i lost weight" thread.
Don't like it? Don't post in the thread it's pretty simple.
Nice evo...would make a nice daily. Though i'd never own one because i'd mod the crap out of it and then want another daily to replace it. It's impossible not to get carried away with that kind of car for me. I'm pretty mixed on the spoiler, they look boring as hell without them so i'd probably put it back on and leave it. May i suggest before you get overboard with your other mods is get a set of tires! Uniroyal tiger paws on an evo really? I have the same on the stock wheels for my s10 and they are absolute garbage. Can't even take an exit turn without all 4 squealing lol. Those cars handle pretty amazing with a set of tires.
