TO Rice or Not To Rice: That is the question

[vodkalush]

It seems that the last couple of weeks people have been thread "bashing" (i dont really see it as soo but I know some do) and in each time that I've read its been about the "Thats rice" and the "No its not", plus some people taking comments to heart....

either way I say lets focus all that hate+love into one thread so that we can keep the others "clean." I'll post pics of my ride (below) and you can judge for yourself if I am Rice or Not Rice. And if you have the balls (or vag) then post yours up as well.

However be prepared for some nice (if your lucky) and not so nice comments.

Let the insanity insue!!!

That's about as un-rice as it gets, a bit on the boring side, even :wink:

But what's the verdict on this, the plan for what my car will look like in the end?

I mean... we've got a big "go faster" stripe, big rear spoiler, a wide body kit that makes the car almost wider than it is long, eyebrows for god's sake... Sounds like rice, right? :biggrin:

Well here are some basic guidelines everyone should try to follow:

This is a Yaris enthusiast community, first and formost we are a community. Please respect each other in this way, be helpful! If someone has a question, no matter how newbie it may seem, be helpful and spread the knowledge you've gained. Everyone has to start somewhere

At times there will be difference of opinions or arguments, never attack other YW members. We will not tolerate this, and we encourage our members to report posts in which someone attacks another member. We will respond quickly to correct the situation, we are a community and a club and will not tolerate trolls, etc....

dude, dont even start.:bow: :bow:

[hasher22]

Well the word rice is gettin on my nerves cuz people have different perspectives on it. Adding a spoiler is rice, people say its not. Changing the body is rice others say its not. Frankly in my mental dictionary says that whatever u do to a car is ricing it.

Anyway my yaris still needs to drop and get rims added to it. Though everyone has their perspective on what they like and dont like. Anyway doesnt bother me with some negative comments, i made the decision to paint or do whatever to my car and it was my choice.

Such as the fake netz rear symbol i aint rollin in a car that has different badges front and back, thats just me. Others will think differently.

Anyway small pic of my car now in my avatar.

[firefly1_0]

my mental dictionary says that whatever u do to a car is ricing it.

it all depends what you're going to do with the car after you add or do anything.

if you are adding functional add-ons and are racing the car on the weekends at an auto-cross or drag then its not rice.

IMHO

if you put a fart-can on an automatic, then thats rice...
if you put a really low hanging body kit on a car and still expect to drive it, then thats rice...
if you installed a tach on a car that you don't compete in, then thats rice...

the list goes on.

Some people don't know how to follow the rules.

Vodkalush - not rice

eTiMaGo - Rice as hell (but oddly beautiful)


Have at it bitches:

[bigsky2]

vodkalush - maki rice (clean and simple)
etimago - yeung chou fried rice (looks complicated and busy, but terribly simple when looked at as a whole)
hasher - jasmine rice (clean and simple, classic)
yaris tte jwrc - jasmine rice (clean and simple, classic) .. as for your echo, i am not a fan of it
violin - sushi rice (lots care and handy work to make it look good)

I often look at other cars for inspiration as to what to do with my car, and what not to do with my car.

Go ahead, make my day:

Yup. Exactly right.

[spkrman]

well, IMO at least.. the yaris LB is one of those cars that you can do almost anything to, and it will still look "good"... something like the XB, although the XB you can basically do whatever you want and it doesnt seem out of place.

Which, this car is very "rice" made in japan f0 realz.

[static808]

im just happy i havent seen any stickers on these cars yet. you know, those magical stickers that add horsepower to your car. at least, thats what all those civic and integra owners will tell you. points for violin's moonroof and leather interior, and points to etimago's aspirations. minus the white racing stripe, that will be the hottest yaris around, flat out...

ahhh haha, my favorite is when I see NOS stickers on 89 cavilers and 90's neons

I just ordered a sticker repping a dyno shop for my back window. For a YARIS.

Does it get any ricier? :frown:

[static808]

(and I am guilty - i do have my tanabe stickers on my 1/4 windows :-( )

hey, a few stickers of things you actually have is fine, dont get me wrong. and if you're sponsored, i understand that you need to make that money. but i've seen some cars that make nascars look plain. and its not just the performance companies. i absolutely love it when people put stickers of their sound systems, like alpine, pioneer, JL, etc... why not just leave the keys beside the car so the thieves dont have to break the window...

good points, one of the cars on campus had a full "UPS" design complete with brown paint job and huge vinyl logos on each side.... I wish I'd snapped some pics :frown:

[mikeukrainetz]

I contacted one of those advert agencies a while back, those ones that pay you to cover your car with a sticker - was actually like 300 a month depending on driving habits... pretty sweet deal until I looked at the type of advertising.... you get what they give you, imagine driving around a Yaris with rims, kit etc and 'Vagisil' pasted all over it.

found this, its kinda funny.

Rice burner is a pejorative used initially to describe Asian-made — specifically Japanese-made — motorcycles and automobiles. Many variations have also been used, such as rice rocket for Japanese sport bikes.

More contemporary use of the term rice burner, along with the prefix rice, has taken on an alternate pejorative meaning for an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities. This practice is in contrast to the "stealth" or "sleeper" style of automotive modification, where a vehicle may have major performance modifications, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model. In this manner, the appellation can apply to any vehicle regardless of country of origin. The most commonly modified cars are sport compacts, but the term can apply to any class of vehicle, including trucks.

In Denmark, the drivers of these kind of asian-manufactured cars are referred to as "sushis". It is common for these people to hear comments like "move back to Japan" even if they are clearly not of Asian origin.

IMO, to "unrice" that car, you need to ditch the riceboy wing, ditch the stripe, have the wheels either be silver or black, and lose the eyelids. That car stands out like a riceboy's car does, and ultimately, you'd be looked at as a ricer where I live with that car. White wheels and matching white stripe=surefire in cognito ricer. :barf:

[Nimble]

Incorrect. You missed his semantics in that post. A stock exterior Yaris=teh no shows. A modded, bodykitt'd out Yaris with no go=a ricer. Nice try though. :redface:

As a rule of thumb.

4 cylinder cars gain 5-6 whp per sticker, unless over 6" wide, then the windshield banner types gain 9 whp.

4 cylinder TURBO cars gain 12 whp per, and 15 per for banners.

6 cylinder and 8 cylinder cars gain 17 whp per, and 21 per for banners (oddly enough, these cars are least found with stickers on them....the 4 banger crowd usually has to have a lot of stickerzzzz to make up for the lack of displacement).

10 and 12 cylinder cars like the Vipers and Ferraris actually receive another engine's worth of power simply by adding the "dynamic duo," the front/rear banner combo....always a classic.

There are no semantics involved. These are slow cars. As far as I am concerned, people should do whatever the hell they want, because less than 1% of the people that modify these cars will do the drivetrain swap needed to make the car significantly faster. So, put on 20s, add 300 lbs of stereo equipment, bolt on giant wings and body kits and whatever else because there is very little hope of making these cars fast.

There is not much that anyone has done to make a Yaris "go" at this point. A Yaris with around 130 WHP would be the beginnings of what I would call "go". That said, we are all modifying these cars mostly for looks, and handling. We are all ricers.

I disagree. Putting 20's and 300lbs of stereo crap will actually make the Yaris a downright dangerous car to drive. It is barely peppy enough to flow with Chicago traffic as is. And those small brakes don't like 50 lb wheel/tire packages, not to mention that the suspension cannot handle an increase of 300+lbs of weight. Need I go on, or are you sure enough you're wrong? :thumbdown:

I'm not the one doing that stuff to my car. More power to others if they want to. I would much have idiots driving cars that are too slow than ones that are too fast.

The suspension can definately handle 300 lbs of extra weight. You can verify this by putting 4 people in your car and driving around. Would I reccomend tons of stereo and dynamat in the car? No. You are right about the heavy wheels and smaller brakes, but I am more worried about the SUVs with 26s and stock brakes than a Yaris with 20s and the stock brakes. The added weight of the SUV makes the problem exponentially worse than the Yaris scenario.

[Nimble]

The added weight of the SUV makes the problem exponentially worse. than the Yaris scenario.

True. I read somewhere that one 22" wheel with a typical wide SUV tire is something like 80lbs for the combo. :eyebulge:

[ASHRAF]

we don't have traffic issues here in Perth (Australia)

my car is 1.3L auto and I don't need anything faster than that

I think it's a very slow car so I don't mind making it lil bit slower

18"s, neons, anything that I wanna do, I'll do
and what is wrong with rice, I love it

as long as I, and my friends love the car, that's all what matters

[Black Yaris]

True. I read somewhere that one 22" wheel with a typical wide SUV tire is something like 80lbs for the combo. :eyebulge:
pretty sure it is close to that.... I have 2 24" wheels in the back of the Yaris and she was squatted pretty good.... they are a Pain in the ass to mount on the car because they are so heavy

Nimble,
Why is having white wheels on a red car rice? If that is the case there are many Mini Coopers that are rice when they are still stock. Why is black okay then?

Also, I would think that a nice set of white rims are less rice than the stock hub caps that most of us have. Afterall, isn't rice when you have somthing that pretends it is something that it is not? :help:

How about a negative term (and citation) for cars and owners who do everything conceivable to make their rides completely black?!

Well, some of those "ricers" you talk about are just giving their cars a theme too... as far as they're concerned.

BTW, when I was younger, I used to love "everything black" cars as well. But since getting off the drugs, dealing with my depression, and suffering through years of psychiatric counseling, I can finally drive a red car.

like in my personal opinion, i think black rims are ugly unless they have a machined lip, otherwise it just looks like hubcaps when you're in motion. But i still don't say anything, cause ppl with black rims probably took awhile to choose em out, and they like it.

yannoe?

Now, all you need is a chrome grill and a rear chrome garnish around the Toyota emblem. (I think someone on this forum has a rear garnish on a blue car).

I have the flatter moons (8" diameter golf cart) and have mounted one, just want to work on the mounting a little more, before completeing and pictures. The ones in the picture do tend to make it a little more like a 'clown' car than anything serious....but I've lived with stranger looking things :biggrin:

...not much of a chrome fan other than on wheels, prefer the 40's/50's shaved look.....maybe some body colored 'pucks'to replace the front and rear emblems, to flow with the body lines---not ready for a full repaint that would be required to do it right!

I've been with VW world for the last 16 years and member of VW Vortex forum since 1999.

as far as i remember, the word Rice (ricey to some) first born from the guys who drive VW and Audi couple of years back.
don't remember who started it but i remember this word suddenly pops up in every thread..and it became very popular in Vortex forum.
then in other forum such Audi and Bimmerworld, they start using it too.

this word should've been just for fun..but some people use it for other reason.
I remember once the dudes who manage VWVortex, they had to shut down some threads due to improper writing and some nasty talks related to this word.
but that's how it is, when it's fun...people take advantage and some lost control.

btw,
i remember that this word originally intended to be use for Hondas only.
but now i guess other forum use it for other brand name too..
that's not good!!


my point is, i don't care with this whole rice thing.
as long as my car can still do 30-40mpg...:thumbup:, then i'm happy...:biggrin:

[thatboyjer]

Saying rice i think is all good but when its used in a racist derrogatory sense thats the only time it pisses me the fuck off.

Seriously, i got called a ricer and was told to "go home and eat some rice" cause my stock yaris rolls around on steelies w/out the hubcaps. i'm not even full asian, i'm half hispanic. We need better terms to describe the shit we do too our cars. I'm pretty sure some of you would take offense if i said "your car looks like a burrito you beaner" or something along the lines of "your car looks cracker'd out, honkey"

To each his own, everyone is entitled to their opinions, so criticizm is a definite must. You do what you do to your car to induvidualize it to your standards. Not anybody elses.

Just leave the racism outta it.

[churp]

Any reference to Asian cars has nothing to do with racism to me.....hopefully no one thinks bad of me as a US (honkey) because of the crap that is produced in the US! I'd list some of the best things I can think of the Asian race.....but that would be racist, because categorizing any race for it's bad or good is no longer politically correct, and bad and good is in every race. My statement was only to comment on rat/street/muscle/hot rodders tend to shy away from any Asian vehicles or parts, and I don't know why, other than they may realize in some/many ways they (asian cars) are better.

Sorry if the use of "Asian" offends....but stating country/continent of origin shouldn't!

[brickhardmeat]

I have never thought of ricer, ricing or rice a racial or derogatory term for people and living in Texas I have heard them all. The term stemmed from rice rocket which simply refers to a motorcycle or car from Japan. Anyway, now it is used by everyone who has any interest in cars to rag on someone elses car that they think is "overdone"

That is my understanding of the term but people are so sensitive now that you can't say anything without it being misconstrued.

[thatboyjer]

well i just shrugged it off, theres alotta ignorance in the world.

i actually never really even linked the word rice or the term ricer to anything derogatory till that one comment. It was really quite eye opening, i was never sensitive to the statement till that moment.

how bout we do whatever we want to OUR cars that we paid with OUR money and stop caring what other people think? how bout we show other people how to drive instead of just modding the car to the max and stalling at a first stop sign? YOU bought the car with YOUR money YOU should be able to do whatever YOU like.:smoking:

well i just shrugged it off, theres alotta ignorance in the world.

i actually never really even linked the word rice or the term ricer to anything derogatory till that one comment. It was really quite eye opening, i was never sensitive to the statement till that moment.

"Go home and eat some rice you ricer."

sorry...not trying to make things worse..
but i am eating rice now,
...complete with fried telapia..and some homemade spicy sauce.

yeah you can do what ever you want to your car with your money, but if you throw a big ricer wing and stickers all over your car, I WILL make fun of you!
