I think there are different kinds of rice burners. You can't just generalize becuase a car has a big wing ( maybe im baised becuase mine does). I believe the whole stickers thing is gay and ricey, and there are people who are ricers that know dick about cars and think a fart cannon will give them 50hp.

To the OP nice kill man, i would have done the saem thing if i were in your shoes.

Technically you may be right, the term originated to describe Japanese cars. However over time the term has broadend to include any car that has non working "fast looking" mods. This evolved definition (like one user posted not long ago) IMO fits the term the best, RICE= race inspired cosmetic effects.

I agree with definition of rice, I always wonder don't people know when their car is slow? I get some of the biggest idiots like G35's and S2000's that try to race me.

Actually it was 'rice-burner', and used to describe Japanese motorcycles, mainly by Harley riders. This pre-dates the whole import/Nippon/sport compact/'tuner'/Nopi car movement by at least a generation (maybe two).

to me rice can be any car. ive seen a camaro with a rediculous wing, two HUGE flowmaster tips, lowered, enkei rims way too small for it, with no rubber between road and rim, lowered front fascia with cowl,tints, and flame stickers on a purple car.
as a camaro enthusiast, i was embarassed that such a car existed....especially since it was a damn 3.8L

I have felt the same way. Here is a fine example, proving that 'rice' is in the driver, not the car.

People will never learn. The gay and the curious (fast and the furious) has corrupted the minds of kids who receive a honda for their first car. Even worse is the spread to middle age men who want to be young again and cant afford a real car.

Here are some other classics...

From your sig:

New frpp block, Spec stage 3 clutch, 16lb flywheel (1), mac udp, JLT cai, Steeda Tri-ax, cobra oil pump, eibach springs, frpp shorties, o/r xpipe, flows, hotchkis cc plates, Probe rotating assembly w/ 10.7:1 cr, Fox Lake stage 2 heads (2), Crane Cams. Yes I built it all.

(1) It's 16lbS since there are 16 of them.

(2) You can only have one head per engine, so no 's'.

You see, I can be an *** too

Well V-engines have two cylinder heads. So there are two of them.
