When i grew up in Jersey many moons ago, back in the 80's my dad was in a Toyota Corolla club. It was a 2 door 1980 rolla 1.8 stick. The crew was always about having their cars super clean..literally. Back then the rear deck was filled 4 6x9 Pioneers and a high power pull out tape deck It was always about the nice wheels and stereo. The equivelent of todays JDM scene pretty much clean aftermarket. Today i have always been about the stereo equipment and the car looking nice. What is that considered? Because it's not ricer becuase it is done tastefully but a tuner. I know this thread may seem stupid. But people like the look of my car and then ask about my go fast. All I have is a K&N short ram and an aftermarket exuast. A set of 17" Enkei's aftermarket leather front seat upholstery dvd, subs and amps. Seriously is this considered rice? There is no bodykit, wing, or stickers. The reason why I ask is because a few days ago a guy said my car was rice.

 

I wouldn't consider this as rice, BECAUSE you don't have random stickers, decals, wings and different glowing stuff at your car.

My old Opel Corsa also only had a set of OZ rims and a stereo, which is now in my BMW ( almost to be precicse )


I think you have to differentiate between a guy who put stuff at his car and actually thinks he will be faster with it....only because the car LOOKS faster.....or the guy like you who just wants to have a good sounding stereo instead squawking oem speakers and some nice looking rims.

and nice rims sometimes make an ugly car look good! I can tell.

btw what car does that guy drive who called your Ford rice?

 

Maybe. The exhaust is rice. The seats, depending on how tasteful they are, may or may not be rice.

 

The guy drives a suped up foxbody Mustang. It is actually pretty nice. I guess he thought I was trying to look fast. Which I have no clue why he would think that.

 

pics and ill tell you if your cars rice

 

Ford people void their opinions on imports.


They think their all rice

 

I will see what i Have to post

 

Alex, your car isn't rice, Dalton's is

Seriously though, your car isn't rice.

 

Intake and exhaust on a Corolla = rice.

 

rice = fronting (claiming/thinking/acting as though you have more than you do) or mods that are in poor taste. Thats where the term originated. Now it gets thrown around for anything anybody doesn't approve of. If you have an intake, exhaust, a nice sound system/interior and a set of well matched wheels, I wouldn't call it rice. Besides, I'm sure you mod your car for you, who cares what some dipshit thinks?
