ahh enough shit talk about commy drivers, don't go down to their level.

for certain, they make more power and have better driveability in general. Japanese cars are 'crap' because they have no low end torque and have the impression that u have to kick the shit out of htem to overtake at the lights. and it's kinda true. You might have a high peak power but if 80% of the rev range is spent at less than 80% of it's max power, what's the use? That's typical of a NA, I4..

first of all, race isnt a racist term.

rice = race inspired cosmetic enhancements

i call sexspec cars ricers, oh and cant forget all the people with there ricer lights (HIDs) for cars that arent designed for them

how can u call sexspec rice? sexspec is dumped on big ass chromies...opposite of rice which is meant to look fast but isnt

[SajadEG]

holdens are mad fun to drive especially in the rain

Where did the "VTEC YO" comment originate from?

Why is Honda always associated as a 'ricer' car more than the other jap/asian brands?

And why do people think that Honda owners think VTEC is the fastest thing ever, i doubt majority think this yet the perception is there.

No idea where 'VTEC YO' came from but it wasn't F&F no. 1.

As for Honda being associated with 'rice' and the owners being called 'ricers' that just BS. The same way we sometimes give muscle car owners crapola about having small dicks. IMO a real motoring enthusiast will like all cars for what they are.
To me, 'rice' is an overly extravagant style of exterior modification, with huge spoilers, exhaust tips and body kits etc. Then you get the 'Sexpec' and 'JDM' styles - it's up to you what you choose.
And finally I think we're probably known as ricers more than other Jap cars because we're more common? Maybe Hondas are just cheaper, more reliable, better looking or more fun to own? Or maybe they're generally not as fast as the turbo skylines and WRX's etc so they cop more crap?

As for VTEC I don't think we believe it's the fastest thing ever. However it was a sensational piece of engineering and the first of many variations (VVTi, Mivec etc have all mostly copied VTEC).
It allows the engine to run in a smooth, reliable and fuel efficient manner and when VTEC engages the engine can utilise a lumpy camshaft profile, producing more power, which would otherwise cause a 'lopey' idle and be less economical on fuel if it were the standard camshaft profile.
Plus it sounds sick.

Hmm ..

well I understand why all Jap cars are called rice

but they MUST understand the difference between RICERS and TUNERS.

I dont consider myself as R.I.C.E, since I do have intentions of engine converting, or even boosting my d-series just doing the cosmetics first since im still a p-plater

but hey, when you guys really think about it, if we have haters, then we are doing something right aren't we? lol

if you guys get offended .. IF yous do .. lol then be the bigger man, smile and let them make a fool out of themselves by ignoring them

lol wow, lecture on ozhonda .. awsome

well said Dougie, I dont know about Honda's being more common and cheaper though. Skylines, WRX's etc etc are everywhere nowdays.
