After listening to this fool with his ricer leaving the parking lot in the "Bumble bee" sounding POS with the stero that cost more than the car. I had an Idea, .........someone should sell them CD's with the sound of a REAL engine, maybe a Diesel??? That has to worth at least as much HP gain as the spinners!

 

Some good ideas here.

 

I want some tech type to develope a device that will fry a thumping stereo in a Rice Burner from say oh 50 yards. Can you see the face on some kid bothering the whole town when his stereo goes POOF! with Sparking and arcing and a lil flame would be in order too.

 

Oh there are such devices. The only problem with 'em is they belong to the military and if you stand in front of 'em, they cook your gonads.

 

here is something every ricer needs...

 

Yeah, but does it have 8 different illumination colors?

 

Somehow I feel infected w/ some kinda bacteria by looking at that ricer forum.

Those kinda cars are just screaming, "Steal me! Vandalize me!!!!"

 

How would they know if you vandalized them?

 

That Ricer site is great! I think most of us grew up in the age of front engine, high horse rear drive cars. This generation has to deal with what they have- cars that have been designed by the EPA. Cheaply built, FWD economy vehicles that use low gear ratios to compensate for lack of horsepower. And it gives us older guys something to make fun of! But, they are safer, get better mileage and some of them DO haul butt. Each time I see one with the grossly huge exhaust that sounds like a fart, a wing that would compliment an F-14 Tomcat and all those Japanese symbols that mean God knows what, I have to think back to 1969 when I painted my 56 Olds 98 like an American flag, lowered it to the ground and cruised around Carson City like I was Mr. Cool!! Well, dangit, I WAS COOL!! Uhhh, wasn't I? Jim

 

Hey guys... I got an idea, lets go get an old toyota, or maybe a ford taurus, we'll get out the orange spray paint, and paint flames all over the car (who cares if they flow), then we'll buy these real nifty lights that glow pink and we'll stick them underneath, and then we'll get one of those fancy lights that blinks with the music beat (of course, we can't hear the music, or even the bass, because the trunk will be rattling so much). Then, we'll buy a piece of aluminum (4x8 of course) and screw that baby to the trunk, and we'll top it off with westcoaster's gauge (in neon pink of course)

Can you say CHICK MAGNET

 

I do have fun with those cars though. Wife and I were sitting at a light the other night. This guy in a 4 door civic with a big muffler is sitting at the light revvvvving his engine like he was at a drag race. So before the light actually turns green he takes off with everything he's got. Wife said to "smoke him".I waited until it turned green, then I floored it. Turbo whined,wife was smiling ,he is shifting like there is no tomorrow, I pretty much blew his doors off.

PS Glad it wasn't an Subaru STI or a Dodge SRT!!

 

Actually what is your favorite "RICER" "performance" piece
1. A wing that is so big that it can cause more drag than flow
2. ASIAN LETTERING
3. 5" muffler tips
4. spinning hubcaps or wheels
5. the stereo on a primer painted car

My personal favorite was a Honda CRX that had a hole drilled into the hood with a snorkel type air intake coming out of it. It looked rediculous

 

The ricers do make me chuckle every time I see one. Anybody have a theory as to why the ricers have to install the largest diameter tach they can find? Any then install it where it stands out like a sore thumb?

 

whatever happened to stealth mode....I mean, we stuffed a chevy sb 400 into a s-10 2x4 and ran bfg street drag tires (the real name escapes me). true duals with the quietest mufflers we could find. No tinted windows, no stickers, primered and a small tach mounted on the steering column. The truck ran a 13.56 (4bbl only and auto) with open diff. at atlanta drag way. we embarrassed lots of people with that truck. sleepers are king!

 

The thing I don't understand,,,,,, is why you need a 3 foot tall wing on the rear deck, that supposedly creates downforce and the "Thing" is front wheel drive! Shouldn't they mount them on the hood?

Whoa,,,,,,,,,, I just may have suggested the next new mod for the ricer crowd!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Remember guys,,,,,,,,,,,,, ya heard it here first. My first car was a 67 Impala SS,,,,,,,,,, No wings,,,,,,, but I did have air shocks in order to run the MT 50's on 10" Keystone Classics in the rear.
