(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
It is a 16 POUND flywheel. There are two HEADS, one on each side.

There is still an 's' there, gotta believe it.

As for the heads, I am used to think 4 cylinders

My context is correct. You would be right if I said "My flywheel weighs 16 pounds" but not when I say "I have a 16 pound flywheel" like I was stating.

Does that make sense?

My definition of 'rice' = the real definition
Your definition of 'rice' = the incorrect, misunderstood version

Not anymore Fred Flinstone the term has evolved and the majority of people agree just look on Ricekiller.com .

But w/e most people buy cars that fullfill there needs whatever those needs may be. If the big 3 had made a sports car that was Awd and could kick *** on and offroad I would have bought it, but unfortunately they don't. The new Avenger is looking pretty promising tho, we will have to see how they do on the track atm they look pretty weak.

Ahem, if a bunch of people start getting together proclaiming 2+2=5, it doesn't make them right. Our society is being pussified, and the same thing has happened to the rice term. It's not nice to call all Japanese car drivers ricers, even if it's true Tough ****, it's true. Anyone that disagrees with me is not a real man and is pandering to the crybabies. Sorry you're so sensitive.

Anyone that disagrees with me, this t-shirt is for you:

Some people feel the need to be *******.

This isn't a joke.

Respectable indeed, but still ricers. Just fast, respectable rice.

Most Supras are dyno queens lol. They produce big numbers but cant run at the track. It takes them the whole way just to build any boost lol. Ive seen 700hp Supras run 13's lol.

I think its funny that you call him the ricer... and try to make the story seem like you were just ''minding your own business''... yet you say in your first sentance you

gave him a warning tire smoke
either way,.. i dont know why anyone would say good kill? this doesnt even seem like a race? you had a few jonts with a guy in a slow car. Im not trying to stir up anything, but you seem to have a very cocky attitude about this whole situation...


PS. I dont have a supra or 300zx. but I do have a 350z that produces better numbers than the OP's LT1. it looks bone stock. ...am I a ricer?

By some member's definition, yes. You own a japanese car, so you're a ricer. My eagle talon was made on american soil and some consider me a ricer, lol. My car has ZERO cosmetic on it and I've decimated anything that came to me on the streets but for some obscure reason, my car is rice...

the ops car IS pretty much bone stock...i say if your car is a stock looking 350z then no your car is not rice, but do you DRIVE like a ricer? Probably

You are a fn idiot, I have yet to see you make a sensible statement or even talk about real issues. Maybe you are retarded or perhaps just compensating for something very small. All you do is spew stereotypes and bs. So fk you don't bother responding because I'm going to ignore you.
