real term for ricer.
ricer was developed because of the high rpms on import four cylinder engines. The unique sound the engines made , well sounded like a rice kettle.. So thats how the term rice rocket was developed. So the term actually developed out of japan.
Its like the word GAY
it somehow got turned around because the low lifes of society (in this case the car society) used it to explain their crappy cars. The term ricer now means your car is trash basically and you have no taste.
I dont need to explain what gay use to mean i hope

well thats how the phrase "rice burner" came out. my car gets called that all the time and i could care less. but ricer is like saying that guy is an idiot for the way his car sounds/looks. if you have a vtec sticker on a toyota celica your a freakin ricer. i got this from another thread. it just about covers it. have fun.

In japan the Term Rice rocket is still not a bad thing as it has become in the US and England
OHh almost forgot the Rocket part of rice rocket was because people made these cars go very fast through the 1/4 like a rocket self explanitory really.
Fried rice use to be bad cars until it took over the word in general Rice rocket and made it bad

Post A Lot Of Info About The Word Ricer

you can do a google image search for the word "ricer" and you will find your results of what to look for in a ricer vehicle. from what i know a "ricer" does not have to be a japanese car or even a 4cyl. there is many many threads on this site about these sort of people. the one that stands out the most for me is the cavalier that has five exhaust tips and vtec stickers all around. search for it. i think its called "so i had this guy try to race me today..."

here is what urbandictionary.com seems to think about the word "RICER"

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE MANY DEFINITIONS

1. Incorrect badging
2. Insanely large exhaust tips (5" in diameter or greater)
3. Spoilers & bodykits; especially those made of cardboard or plastic
4. Offset tape stripes
5. Single wiper conversion
6. Oriental symbols; esp. on American cars
Cars do not neccesarily need to be imports to be considered "rice"- ex. "Cobra" badging and/or body kit on a V6 Mustang.
I've seen myself the following examples:

"RalliArt" badging on a Honda
"Evolution" badging and bodykit attempt on 1989 Mirage
"Neuspeed" badging on 1997 Lumina
"Type-R" badge and 5" exhaust tip on 1980s Civic Wagovan
Double spoiler, 18" rims and Type-R badge on Geo Metro
Type-R badge on Ford Probe




anyway, just for kicks here are some pictures of cars that i found that i think fit this criteria.

basically, people call rice on anything now adays....
if a car comes stock with clear tail lights, that seems to be fair game for "rice"......... but jttegx says, a lot of these "ricer" mods do spoil the look and functionality of the car.

In essience a "Ricer" is someone who talks alot of bull about his car. Plus down here in the south (most centeral state's) a Ricer is known for makeing his car look Bad Ace. Like full body kit, and everything u can think of for the exterior and eve nthe interior. It'll also has the sound and the stupid TurboEffects from ebay (which is kinda fun to play with hehe...) but its sounds nice an all. You guys should know who im talken about the guy who is all smack and you go up to and wanna race him and he is like no everytime. I swear Ricer's are more annoying than the people who beat you in a race. its all

I typically apply the term Ricer to any one who street races... regardless of what their car looks like (A ricer is as much a mental state as it is a style of car modification)

thats where our opinions differ. if i wanted to get LED's under my car for a nice look i wouldn't think it was rice. but others would^^^. so in reality sometimes rice is in the eye of the beholder. like i think a curvy spoiler thats huge is rice,but others around this site don't.
