I've been reading some posts of what people consider "riceboy" on this forum. Some of you may have already visited the page, but for those that haven't, I thought that the following link might help out to help define it. I found some of the "modded" cars pretty amusing.

http://www.riceboypage.com/

My intent of this post is NOT to have others flame each other and their cars, but to let you know of what some people consider to be "riceboy." Some out there will agree on the definition, and some won't.

 

That's the webpage that started the RICEBOY craze!! I ran into it years ago.

Good job finding it back again, as he changed website addresses and I couldn't find it after that. Anyways, that page would be the definitive page to find a definition of RICEBOY or RICEROCKET, or whatever those terms means.

he pointed out using a honda rims from a different level of trim is considered...RICE?
Oh geee......
humm...I need to get My 300zx rims ASAP...darn it...where is the seller....I hope he does not bounce on me
darn it...
I am gonna be the ultimate rice max....with 300zx rims...
Oh gee....
PS:I know some mods are just not right...like me sticking GTR badge on my car...but darn...I do not think changing your rim is ricey...gosh..especially if it is still from the same car company......

 

Well, it all depends on why the rims were changed. I know lots of guys that buy Civic Si rims and the wing just so their Civic EX or LX can look just like an Si. If you do it for lighter weight, etc. then it's not rice.

It's when they start sticking on Type-R or SI badges that you enter Riceland.

 

took it straght from the web site.
"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. "

 

I love that site.. His whole deal is that he has a problem with cars trying to look fast that really aren't. Such as, buying a Civic DX and putting on big rims and an exhaust system (and maybe SI badging) for the total price of a stock SI. I agree with him about that, but I'm not quite as angry about it. I figure, you paid for it, do what you want. If you're going to pay the extra cash though, the SI is so much nicer...

 

others say **** that make me wonder what thier iq is. but you have to keep in mind that there is no one in the world who would put a sticker on there car and exspect it to go faster. there are some people that would buy the dx and spend alot of money making it faster but it still doesn't match the speed of an si. but then there are people like me who doesn't need speed to live. our thing is buying a car and making that **** look like no other car of its kind. like my friend who took a vtec integra and put it on hydrolics(i got pics) he plans to cut the top off shave the doors shut and shave the gas tank. now with the civic thats harder to do since alot of us have a civic and is doing the samething. i don't want my maxima to look like a maxima when i'm done. i talked to people about getting custome bumpers, doors, tail end, front end, paint job and lots more. my only think is i don't think i want to spend that much money on a ten year old car. so i'll do it to my z car when i get it. people don't put fear this stickers on there cars to make it go faster some people actually likes it. i don't but i already explained in a previous tread why i have it, and if you find the tread you'll understand.

i'm not trying to start anything i just hope that you guys would read this with an open mind and under stand just because the guy has emblems and **** from a faster car doesn't mean he wishes upon a star tht his car was that car. i personally don't think its right to judge people ike that anyway. this reminds me of high school were everyone gathers and segregate the group of kids who is dresses diferently. it's kinda imature, and thats what happened at that school a while back. there's alot of people on here who knows about computers one of them could be a hacker, you find your self reading a post and your computer crashes and never boots up again. there are some people who like taking a slow car to try and make it the fastest thing on the track. even if he could of just borught an si instead of a dx, its his choice and you souldn't seperate him and make fun of him for doing it. it's kinda Racist, you call us rice because we drive a car thats not like your, you might as well call me a n!ger because i'm black and your not. there is just as enough "rice" people to gang up and make up a word for you guys who likes speed.

and again i'm not trying to start anything but you should really think about what you say before you say it. you wouldn't like it if a bunch of people ganged up and made fun of your porformance mods.

 

take any <b>slow car</b>, put a sh*tload of stickers on it(some that even only make parts for domestics), put a huge 5" tip on the <b>stock muffler</b>, lower your ride with cut springs then paste a HUGE contingency size Eibach sticker across your hood(like they really sponsored that POS), then stop next to me at a light, rev the 77hp POS 1.6L at me, and expect me to be scared or hard pressed to race you, then laugh and point as you pointlessly spin the 13" tires and go from 0-60 on me in 10-12 seconds(since I decided not to embarass you tonight)!!!! THATS A RICEBOY TO ME!!!!!
Really, its not about big a$$ wings, outlandish body kits or whatever (my friend has a Mitsu GSX, stickers tatefully placed on the 1/4 panel, but he can back up every sticker with the actual mods and plus the car can back even more with the 12sec 1/4 mile!!!!!), <b>to me its the attitude of the driver and if he's intelignent enough to know that his car IS NOT A DAMN sports car or sport sedan, its a 1.6L ECONOMY CAR not built to beat a damn school bus in a 1/4mi!!!</b>(lol) But me I won't say sh*t to "Riceboys" though cause I don't like to start sh*t, but as I always say during a flame war over "RICEYNESS":

"ITS YOUR F*CKING CAR DO WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT WITH IT!!!"

 

i agree with you but it's when people put the guys you just discribed in with the same category as me. that pisses me off. my car may be "rice" to some but around here it has *****. i have never lost a serious race, the other night there was a jetta acting like a fool next to me so i had to put him in his place. racing bikes and **** i know i'm going to lose but it's just for fun.

i don't understand when you guys get a chance to race if i see a stock car driving down the street i wont rev at him unless he does something stupid like that jetta was doing. but you put a sticker on your car or something and people would know you have something under the hood

 

perlmax...about the badging

the fact of the matter is this...its not that the badging makes the car fast(ie DX with Si is now as fast as an Si) but its the point here...why put an SI badge on your ride when its not? its not to be different as you say...i see it way to often to be unique....why rice is making the car something its not...i have nothing against making a slow car faster (look at mine im modding a 160hp v6 for crying out loud)....but say if i was driving a dx civic and modding it fine...but once that SI badge gets attached...its rice time...

 

thats why it bothered me on the 3rd Gen board that people were hating on that turbo'd civic!! yeah the tails and stickers sucked but the guy put time and money into that sh*t and it is not the point that it could smoke a Maxima it was the point that a true "auto enthusiast" would really enjoy a car like that no matter its make!!

 

yup yup i agree....cars like that is why most of us have become import enthusiasts....

 

the so be it. but you shouldn't go around putting down "rice" cars just because you don't agree with it. thats my whole point. you don't hear me saying fstb are stupid and why would anyone buy a sway bars. so why should everyone go aroud saying 5" tips are retarded. everyone is intittled to an opinion but you should be aduilt enough to express it the right way. and besides there are alot of cars on here that are actually gxe's but have white guages, i know someone who wants my white guages because i don't want them. question, you can hook up a slow car to make it faster but as soon as the si badge is put on its rice. but you have a gxe and your trying to make it faster but then you go and change the guages isn't that rice?

 

first off the badging:
okay lets look at asthetics vs. being a poser!!!! If I want SE gauges on a GXE cause I like the white gauges and they would add to my car's interior look. popping on an SI badge is clearly a poor attempt at IMMITATION!!!!!! why else would you plaster a badge on your car that isn't true and on top of that you have tons of stickers and NOT ONE MOD on your stock 77hp Civic DX or any car at that!! <b>Anyways there is no real big differences between the 89-91 SE's and GXE's(other than SE's being available in 5sp.) anyways so who imitataing to begin with!!</b>

second off exhaust tips and "false parts":
why do you need to attach a 5" exhaust tip to your <b>STOCK MUFFLER</b>, there is no performance gains, there is only one reason to make your car appear and or sound to be what it is not!! Even if I saw a huge 6" inch tip on a Supra TT w/ a stock muffler(just an example, don't know why you would need to immitate with a TT supra anyways) its RICE!!!!! now if I call the guy out about it or not, that is a different story, but in my book its RICE plain and simple!!!!

 

well not really...this is just a technicality...white gauges became extremely popular in the import industry...it just so happens SE's came stock...if you had a GXE and planned on buying white gauges (like the honda guys or whatever) wouldn't it make sense to just get used SE gauges?

badging is totally different...people know the difference in speed between an SI and a DX....not many people know that a max GXE has black gauges and an SE has white gauges...also according to the "definition" white gauges don't represent speed...fake stickers and false badging does...

 

it's plan and simple. and not everyone puts a 5" tip on for speed. i like the way they look i'll put it on in a heart beat. you agreed that the guy with the civic spent alot of money on his mods so they shouldn't of made fun of him, but stickers cost money too. and i'm pretty sure they're happy with there si badges. i know alot of them and they're really happy with thier cars. so you shouldn't go making fun of it like that. you could hurt there fealings, and they could do something to you that you wont like, remember what i siad about the hacker thing. and remember what happened at that school(i can't remember the name of the school) they made fun of the kids dress funny and got there a##es shot. but besides that you shouldn't make fun of thier cars because it's no the right and aduilt thing to do. thats all i'm trying to say, i'm not trying to fight over what the meaning of rice is.

 

Everyone's got a right to voice their opinion. If that guy wants to put up a page making fun of people who do these things to their car, there's nothing wrong with that. Also, if some guy driving a Civic DX with giant chrome wheels and a 5" tip wants to put up a page making fun of cars that look stock and have boost or NOS, he can do that.
