Funny things RICErs say (radically immature car enthusiasts)

[prisonermonkeys]

The search is over: I have found the worst RICEer ever.

He lives next door to me, and he owns something Japanese. I don't know what - I've never seen it. I have, however, heard it.

I live in a pretty built-up area. There are two major arterial roads, a major transport interchange and a hospital with an ambulance dispatch nearby. All in all, it gets pretty noisy in the middle of the day. Nothing intrusive, but there is a lot going on.

My neighbour, whoever he is, likes to let everyone know he is around. He will sit in his car, revving the engine, for fifteen minutes or so. Then he'll go off and drive around a bit, come back, and rev his engine for another twenty or so minutes. The thing is so over-tuned that it sounds like a jet fighter, and I can pick the engine note over the cacophony of noise at the height of the day to the point where I can tell you exactly which streets he is on.

It's even more fun when he does it at two in the morning.

Back to the ricer stories!!!!

A friend of mine has a diesel Seat Ibiza () in white like every other one on the road.

Anyway his is slammed to the floor and for some reason he thought it would look better by taking off BBS wheels and putting fake polished C4 Corvette wheels on. Needless to say it looks disgusting!

A while ago he was telling me his plans for it once he repaired his oil sump which he'd damaged on a hill because his car is so low. You'd think that breaking it once would be enough to make him realise it's too low. Nope. It's been broken 3 times and it's still stupidly low.

When I used to work at an alloy wheel place, he asked me for tyres that were too thin cos he wanted 'stretch' I refused to sell him the tyres saying that it's not good for you to do that for safety reasons and he'd kurb his new wheels and mainly because it looks 🤬

His reply was 'no I don't kurb my wheels, I know how to park'. So when he put his BBS wheels up for sale what was in the description? 'two wheels have some slight damage' *huge facepalm*
I also asked if he'd put tyres that properly fit this time and what did he say? He tagged his ricer friends in the conversation and nearly all of them proceeded to label me a douchebag.
He asked my opinion on Corvette wheels on his car, I said no, he put them on anyway. So after all this, I don't think I'll be seeing much of him.

I think it sounds different and i like it by the sounds of it. I guess his looking for a "hellaflush cruiser".

It's certainly not different, there are a lot of Seats that look like this and everyone of them is just awful. Am I really old for not understanding the appeal of 'stretch'? To me it's the worst thing to ever happen to car modifications.

There's an owner of an Evo at my university who does that. Revs it for 15 minutes with the door open, slouched in his seat playing it cool while creepily staring at girls as they pass. I don't know why, but Lebanese males have some serious mental issues in the area: shouting at people for drugs, tailgating cars and screaming at them, threatening innocent bystanders etc.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I haven't even seen the guy. I live in a high-density area, so all I could do is point the police to an apartment building if I wanted to file a noise complaint.

For me i love a good 'stance' build.

Take some small comfort in the knowledge that, by pointlessly revving their engines while in neutral, they are doing nothing but damaging their own engines.

Take some small comfort in the knowledge that, by pointlessly revving their engines while in neutral, they are doing nothing but damaging their own engines.

The resultant discomfort, however, is that people often do it to otherwise desirable sports cars, which means a lesser quality used car market when they're done with them.
Incidentally, a similar approach I take to mentally appease myself when I see people in my area put 20-22in hectic chrome wheels on their Commodores, is knowing they've just turned $3,000 into $800 fairly quickly. Again, however, it means that the manufacturer who decided to produce those wheels gains a profit, with which it will go on to churn out even more rolling visual nightmares.

I thought it was bad when a classmate tried to diagnose a cylinder misfire in the shop. This... I feel sorry for you.

Reminds me of a guy who used to live by me. Owned a Civic type-R in silver with a carbon hood. Fart can exhaust. Apparently he enjoyed a nighttime drive around the estate.

He eventually got a curfew from the police as people in my area hated it.

Well, as it turns out, my neighbour is not the loudest person in the street. That (questionable) honour goes to the couple who regularly have a domestic dispute, and can clearly be heard over the sound of his car. They're very educational - at five o'clock this morning, I learned that you can use the word **** as a verb, as an adjective, and as a perojative in the same sentence.

I should mention that while my neighbour revs his engine two metres away from my apartment, this couple live at the opposite end of the street, some two hundred metres away.

But as you said I guess everybody has different tastes. I just know you and I wouldn't get along in that sense.

Warsaw didn't have many cars... Especially not during WW2. Or, otherwise, which "ghetto?"

Interesting story today, I was driving home in the highway and in my rear view I see one of these coming up real fast (but with cheap chrome rims and cut springs):

Thing is I know this guy. Couple weeks back I saw him weaving in and out of traffic going at least 80 in a 60 zone in the middle of rush hour. But then I was in my Corolla so I didn't mess with him. Well today I was in my bird so I thought I'd have some fun since traffic was pretty thin. I'm doing 65 in the left lane and this guy is doing at least 90 behind me. As soon as he switched lanes to pass me (didn't even signal ) I hit it in 3rd and within seconds I start pulling him. Don't wanna make it sound too violent because I know kids read these boards but lets just say when I shut down I couldn't see him in my mirror













But wait there's more

As luck would have it when the freeway ended and I'm at the stoplight he pulls up next to me and starts revving the nuts off his car. Funny because he had stock exhaust (I guess fart cannons are getting pricey these days) and I could barely hear it over my car idling. He ends up taking a right a few intersections down doing over 20 tires screeching.

In my exhaustive research, I have found the those who think that JDM cars are The One also like Stance.

 

[Johnny1996]

Times like that make it unfortunate that I'm only 17, with no permit of license, and likely far off from getting a muscle car. Other than that little bit hitting me, that story was hilarious.

 

[JDM SRE70]

In my exhaustive research, I have found the those who think that JDM cars are The One also like Stance.

Well, kind of.

I'll try not to take it off track alot.

But firstly, Stance isn't all just Negative offset, wider track width, and making it flush along with the fenders. All cars have 'stance'. Here's a chart thing to refer to.

Paddiflush is also more commonly known as 'poke'.

Secondly, there are people who claim to be "JDM" Enthusiast yet they don't even know true Japanese Automotive culture. The 'hellaflush', 'hellafail' stance trend begun in the U.S Car scene among a group known of "Royal Orgin". Inspired by the JDM "Drift Stance" (in the picture is Flush). Then these guys took it to the next level which then trended in japan. After it occured in japan, people begun to regard it as a JDM "Stance" or of origination. Which it never really was.

Here's a picture of Royal Orgin

So simply, if your confused.

It started with this..

Nobiteru Tanaguchi's Personal Nissan Silvia S15. A common stance trend for cars aimmed at "Drifting".

This "stance" spread worldwide. Then a group in America starts the "Hellaflush" stance craze.

Then it goes back to japan, and we are left with this. Which now people think started all in japan.

So yeah. Now we have so called "JDM" fans who can't differentiate USDM trends with JDM Trends. Alot of trends are shared between the two, and alot of it influences the guys in japan too, unaware that the U.S guys are trying to replicate the JDM stuff with a twist.

I saw a minivan with racing rims, coilovers, and LED taillights. I was impressed.

That minivan, (the same year/model) doesn't sit right, nor does it sit right with me.

I will never understand the whole "low scene." Except for the 2.2 Camry (I know, I know ) I saw yesterday. "Speedbumps: hey, be patient, I'm lowered!"

Guy was actually fast, too.

 

[Johnny1996]

Ah, lowered cars and speed bumps. You gotta love it when you see the drivers freaking out when the car scrapes the speed bump.

The reason I liked this Toyota was because it was coilovers made for track usage. And, he made fun of it.

The best thing a "RICEr" can be is humble.

I killed the Impreza yesterday, just watched the rest of the session, told some jokes, and fixed it after... hilarious track day. So much fun. RICErs who know that they can't take themselves seriously are the best.

I see this and raise you 10 mph in my Impreza. "What speed bump?"

Sorry for double post: Ninja'd and can't copy/paste on this phone yet: googling it now.

I could probably do it at highway speeds with the suspension setup he has on it. We've hit large woodchucks/groundhog at 55 and never felt anything.

From woodchuck too rubberchuck in one second flat.

We don't have speed bumps on our highways - kinda defeats the purpose of a highway, although interesting to watch on YouTube. See also: driving in Russia thread

I actually had to ask my dad if he had hit something.

True, I'm just saying with his upgraded suspension it probably could take a nice hit at that speed.
