Sorry, Ricers are my new favorite rant so I decided to make a thread here for whenever I come across a few ungodly sad ones. I was browsing CarDomain.com when I saw this one and being it's the same model and generation of Saturn as mine I wanted to complain, so here it goes. I'm including his car domain page link and some great quotes, such an assclown.


This one is nice, it shows that if 31 flavors of ice cream is good, then why not 31 colors on your car?
or...
Body Kit?...Check
Big-Ass Wing?...Check
F&F Replica Roof Scoop?...Check
Painted All One Color?...Damn I Knew I Forgot Something.


Big riced out wing, any ricer can tell you the importance of downforce on the back of a front wheel drive car.


His quote "I gotta sport the name" - Now if S-Icon makes all there rides as pimp as this one where do I sign up?


Apparently it's cool to mount your license plate sideways for the extra 20hp.

See This Beauty For Yourself!
It's got 5 Stars on most everything once again proving cardomain is full of dumbasses.

Minus the wing that kit isn't that bad. Granted it needs to be painted. And rims would be nice.

I agree the kit is nice and removing the wing with a coat of paint it wouldn't look bad.

Unfortunately I saw this kids page before and he deleted his performance page from cardomain. It had him drag racing a vette and claiming how he was able to keep up.

My logic is though if you want to buy a kit that's cool or you want to buy whatever, but if you have the thousands to invest in a wing, kit, and everything else shouldn't a coat of paint enter the picture pretty quickly. I personally consider any body kit on longer than a month without paint ricey. Mine's going on when I can afford to have everything painted, until then I'd like to keep a single colored car.

Agreed, one of the guys I was out with wed has a 250 sx that has been kitted and unpainted for a few months. But he has an excuse. He installed it. Got it prepped. And then 2 days before painting hit an animal and broke the front bumper cover. So he's spent the last few weeks playing with bondo trying to get it all right again before he has it painted. It should look nice.

I agree multicolored cars are lame as hell. I just think it COULD look nice if he finished it properly.

tuners suck, i leave those guys in the dust on my cbr 600.

lemme throw my hat into the ring...

these are all personal pics i took on easter sunday 2003











that last green civic is my next door neighbors.. its still fugly he added some gay rims to it now..

check them out
their funny
lol

you guys are the ones being dicks, not me.

You're the one who said......

Just out of curiosity what have you done to the bike, and whats the exact year and model. The specs on them vary year to year. I've never been on a CBR and was trying to get a feel for where ti would sit compared to what I have ridden. It looks pretty damn quick in any case, but I was just wondering details. Hell pics if you got them.

There's a users ride therad or 2 going on in this forum. "To the Xboxmobile" and another. Just add to one of those and we can trya nd keep this forum cleaner. Some pics of the biek would be cool. My one of friends has a Hayabusa. I can't really say much, outside of wow. I'd be sure to kill myself on it though. I prefer 4 tires.......

No problem.

that dudes car is multicolor because its primed...gotta do that before u paint it...bodykits when they are first got are usually baby blue...the wing is ugly but it helps speed wise...

i live in miami so i see my share of paycheck cars...im not gonna invest too much money on my ride so i can get me a wrx as soon as i can

btw any bike...even choppers (if both are stock) will take a car...weight distribution is too different...plus the take off...manuverbility...just common sense...

and dude ur camero cant come close to the cbr...im not boostin this dudes ego or on his dick but this is a racing bike against a american muscle heavy biaaa lol and the probe will never take any bike on turns

oh and my boys hyabusa will smoke ur cbr:)

all those cars are really gay.....body kits or not....stop wasting money and put them intto the engine bay...unless you have all the power you can get out of the engine then you shouldn't waste your money on things that won't make the car faster.


and i am buying a cbr 929rr.....used to have a ducatti 996....bet i could take both the probe and camaro!! even will give you a head start.....the cbr 929rr will have new performance parts as soon as i get my hands on it (nitrous is fun on a bike )

love those 996...like riding air their soooo light

Ohhhh my, where to begin...

First and foremost the I have greatest respect for those who are willing to tune their cars.

Second my automotive pedigree:

1986 Z28 Camaro - 345bhp/327cid/12.8et
1989 Corvette Z51 - 422bhp/350cid/12.3et (Traction issues)
1999 BMW M3 - 202bhp/191cid/14.3et (Road & Track)
(All bhp ratings are at the wheels)

As yet the M is unmodified due to its status as my baby and grocery getter, the 'Vette just did NOT have enough traction (ie Driver Error).

[BIKES]
Having said all of this I speak from some experience in the tuner world. In my race crew we had an unmodded CBR600 F3, it was quick and had us all off the line. BUT the Grand National (worked), the WS6 TA (stock), and the RX-7 (mildly worked) could all chew it apart from the century mark on.

[RICERS]
Very high level of irritation with them, BECAUSE, they have very little respect for effort and very little knowledge of the mechanics and physics that go into speed. There is a local Honda tuner shop started up by some acquaintences from HS, and the BUILD Hondas. They know their subject and they work the cars.

[CONCLUSION]
Now having said all of this any Honda owner who believes in function over form, understands valve timing and lope separation, and can tell the difference between an 'Intake Pipe' and an actual 'Intake' is welcome at my table.

Trouble is they're few and far between and generally own a sports car to which they've applied said knowledge.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

I have to jump in. Here is the Anti-Ricer

Aren't they b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l ??

The cold air intake is not located underneath the scoop. Looking underneath the hood from the front its on the far left.
