    Bad, yeah visited Wayne to drop off a gear knob and check out some headers.

    Well impressed by the dyno plots, and the new headers hes getting made up too. Only 6 weeks away! Excited

    Edit: Wait if Anzac is the main street, I was getting a hair cut. Plenty cuties in at that Cabana place.

    The point of me posting that car up was not to debate the fact of its possible "rice" appearance or Honda badge. It was to show that it is a SHOW car, and has been meticulously done, and for that fact is NOT rice. Everything on the car has a purpose.

    I don't think some of you sillies get it, so here is a definition.

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ricer

    Definition of a ricer:

    A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster.

    The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

    - Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder

    - Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747

    - Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool

    - Expensive shiny rims that usually cost more than the car itself

    - Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire

    - Clear/chrome tail lights and corner signals

    - A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)

    haha my friend met one of his ex's that way..

    Totally! One of my good mates got back in contact with me after losing my details from that Sticker on my back window.

    Another pet "ricer" peeve JDM this, JDM that. Who cares if its Japanese domestic market. JDM does NOT make it any cooler!

    And I know there are exceptions amongst the honda engines. Some JDM models of engines are better than say a USM engine, but dont apply it to EVERY piece of equipment on your car. JDM gear knob, JDM seats.. srsly :wacko:

    How to be a ricer:

    Pronounce N.O.S. as one word (NAWS).

    When you are outpowered, call people out with your friends car.

    Have an aftermarket body kit installed

    Use of neons or L.E.D.'s to light up your car.

    You must install a non-functional wing/spoiler on the back and front of your car.

    Names of performance parts on your car that you dont have.

    Claim to beat cars that your car is totally incapable of beating.

    Install racing seats on a car that runs a 16 second or slower quarter mile.

    You've ever swung in behind a car (at 50 mph) in an attempt to draft.

    When you lose you say "But your car has 4 more cylinders"

    when you lose you say "Imagine if Honda made an engine as big as yours, because my 4 cylindler has 100 HP/Liter!"

    You have a Vin Diesel poster

    You buy a civic, add a cold air intake and cat back exhaust, add 200 lbs of stereo equipment and brag about how much faster it is than when it was stock.

    You try explaining why vtec is better than a turbo charger

    You have to let the passengers know when you're flooring it

    If you know you can't win, you dump the clutch at 8,000 RPM's and say you couldn't hook up, but at least you looked cool

    The only 2 exotic cars you can name are Supra and Skyline.

    If you tell the story of how your friend has such a fast car, he put a $10 bill on the dash, floored it, and you couldn't reach it on the dash because you were too pinned in your seat.

    LED exhaust tips.

    When you have NOS seat covers.

    When you have competitive races with cars- that dont know they are racing.

    Put the car (automatic) in neutral on hills so that it rolls back like a manual and then go into drive when the light turns green.

    Form opinions on cars you know nothing about.
