In reference to the subaru/evo video i posted:


Alicia (12:23:20 PM): so stupid the no rice thing. YOU GUYS ARE SOO RICERS
Alicia (12:23:22 PM): hahaha
Alicia (12:23:23 PM): hahaha
Chris (12:23:27 PM): mmhmm
Chris (12:23:31 PM): no rice (except sti wings)
Alicia (12:23:42 PM): definitely ricers.
Chris (12:23:46 PM): hmm
Chris (12:23:49 PM): how so, exactly?
Alicia (12:23:54 PM): anything tuner..I'm sorry qualifies as a ricer in my book
Chris (12:23:54 PM): any one of those cars can beat your car ;-)
Alicia (12:24:09 PM): um..my car is naturally aspirated
Alicia (12:24:12 PM): for now
Chris: uh, rice, by definition, is something that adds on to the car, or makes the car look faster, but does not add any performance
Alicia: you should be able to beat me
Chris (12:24:34 PM): right, you have 1 or 1.5 more litres and two more cylinders
Alicia (12:24:40 PM): no I beg to differ rice = foreign jap modified
Chris (12:24:47 PM): that is completely incorrect
Alicia (12:24:54 PM): whatever
Alicia (12:24:59 PM): I'm right
Alicia (12:25:07 PM): you know the rules


Opinions?!

what's wrong chris? can't take a little teasing?
you had to run to the forum for back up?

I'm right, you're wrong!

There is nothing wrong with a turbo 4 and a large spoiler on the trunk. As long as its a subie or mitsu.

Rice= ANY car, regardless of country of origin, who's performance mods are worth less $$$$ than the cosmetic mods.

you are making the term 'rice' into something derogatory. I don't think it's nesecarily so.

Rice= ANY car, regardless of country of origin, who's performance mods are worth less $$$$ than the cosmetic mods.

So if you buy a Lamborghini and put some nice wheels on it, then you're a ricer?

exactly, cosmetic improvments are not necissarily ricey

I heard it said that Imports are like Tampons, every pussy needs one. But hey, thats just what I heard.

haha nice, and to that all i can say, touche

Thats pretty fuckin cool. You need to take your ex-cop car and go to a site where people enjoy that kind of shit talk. Since a majority of the people on this site drive imports you are not gonna like it here. By the way crown vic's are slooooow.

Nick

ps. where is got boost when you need him?

I'm hoping he was just trying to be a clown.

Besides, what's the most common aftermarket part ever put on crown vics? Oh yeah, 22" chrome wheels that weigh a ton.

In any event, I'm a self proclaimed ricer. My shit's clean, mostly everything is engine or suspension.

Gee's, Just clownin' guys, don't take it so seriously. White, sorry it hit you so hard, was just playing. And by the way, I didn't single out anyones car so respect my own ok? Again, I was just playing around.I think I hooked Panda up with a ton of useful info for you guys and you would think if I had anything against "ricers" so to speak I would have kept the info to myself. Later.

rice motto is form over function

that being said, I will have to side with Chris on this one

your sig suggested otherwise.

You're the guy feeding us all that info huh? Is it really true?

Sniff, sniff.. I'm a Ricer right now.. all cosmetics on my car.. sniff, sniff... Way to make a guy feel cheap.. 4 months and all my mods have been cosmetic.. But I'll get rid of that title by '06 rally...

come on you know your be in the 05 with me :)

Yeah.. but my ride will be ready for the '06 rally... I will be out of the Ricer catagory... Woohooo.... ordering my Turbo Kit late August...Lighter hood, heavier rims.. but Lighter Person.. WOOHOOO

haha as long as shes lean and mean, i need to talk to lordcomp and see how much our first sponser gave us till than its back to watching gumball videos.

Sweet... Have fun...

I'm the opposite, all performance mods so far, but I feel I'm done with those. I''m starting cosmetics in approx. 2 weeks

did you tell LordComp about me... and the other information we talked about???

What are you driving gotboost???

yeah i haven't heard from him today though. I'm spreading the word from here in...

...Any bikes need some one to carry luggage, or are up for being a part of the rolling party send me a pm, and we can work something out. ...

your in for the limo luggage wagon, aren't you boost?

My luggage definitely is, but I'm stayin in my car.

Ok, sorry for jumping to conclusions. There have been so many people that just talk shit on here, so it is good to get them out asap. Since you were kiddin I take back my previous statement.

Nick

your sig suggested otherwise.

My sig is a long, long story and has nothing to do with how I feel about cars of any origin just so you know. Yes, I'm the guy with the info and yes, its true and as serious as a heart attack. Again, sorry about pushing buttons, was just messin' around.

white, no problem man. No hard feelings. Its all good. 8)

get a room already jesus

I'm the opposite, all performance mods so far, but I feel I'm done with those. I''m starting cosmetics in approx. 2 weeks
My cosmetic mods are going to figure out how to get my bumper back on and keep it there. Then next spring grab my fog cover that is currently under a few feet of snow.:)

Nick

oh it's fine. Glad you didn't go running for the hills. Apparently we have a rep for scaring people away. lol

why don't you explain the sig though. Now I'm curious.

zipties and duct tape

maybe even a bungee cord if ya got one layin around

hey boost any one else you know with limited trunk space that we should talk to?

dont go gettin overbooked here... a suitcase for at least 6 days is going to be pretty big

Anyone with an S2000.

Nick

was gonna say that, but they all sold them for lancers

Yup, and hybrids. Wonder what happend to Tom?

Nick

yeah i think me and shawn definitly claim some trunk space, ill have to talk to chris and see whos taking what, spread the word though.

oh it's fine. Glad you didn't go running for the hills. Apparently we have a rep for scaring people away. lol

why don't you explain the sig though. Now I'm curious.


lol Oh, its nothing, trust me. Just some fun I had with a guy in an eclipse who cut me seriously off and caused the guy behind me to put it in the grass to avoid hitting me. I made the guy shit a brick when I flashed my strobes and he actually pulled over for me and I went right on by. Like I said, nothing interesting, I just got pissed off and returned the favor.

lol... that's a good one.. At least you didn't fall victim to road rage..

Darn Mitsubishi car owner's, think they own the streets... Stubborn little buggers they are...

Haha, funny. On a smilar thread, I once had a crown vic pull into the fast lane, as I was cruising at ~90. Came up on him and let him know I was there, but didn't obnoxiously tailgate. He flashed the strobes, which put me right back into my place ;)


Oh, and I think I win the rice argument, sorry leecee!

I raced a police crusier last december. I won.:)

Nick

I've raced a few too...

I always tell this story...but once I jumped infront of a crown vic doing 110, ofcourse it turned out to be an unmarked cop. He pulled me over but let me go after a lecture. He turned out to be a rather nice guy. He claimed he didn't have his ticket book on him. Scared the shit out of me when those lights came on though.

and no Chris, this thread proves nothing, true to form we went off topic by about page 2.

i have to side with alicia on this one all this proves is we dislike cops :)

Cops are cool.. except when they are pulling me over... Being nice and unaware of what's wrong sometimes pays off.. For those times that don't, Knowing other law enforcement officers plays a good part too.. If you know none.. Oh well.. Just remember, Never admit to anything.. It may come to harm you later... Why is it when a police officer pulls someone over, traffic slows down to way under the speed limit to look???

its not to look, its because deep down were all afraid, that the cop will just say fuck it, and pull us over. When i got busted the cop had already pulled somebody over, but decided he wanted the beater accord instead, so the guy pulled out again hit his lights, and bam, next thing i know i have a ticket.

Thats why...

Wow... I guess I've alwayz been lucky. "Knock on wood" I dont like slowing down.. I'd rather keep my original speed... But if smokey is on the side of the road for a speed trap... Yeah.. I'll slow down.. You kind of learn to read traffic for the hot spots.. If all of a sudden you start seeing red lights about a mile away.. about 75% of the time it's nothing, but you kinda get that feeling in your gut that you need to slow down and get in the slow lane.. Maybe I'm just a risk taker.. Um.. yeah.. that's what we will call it.. Risk taker...

Mine was comming over a blind hill. I at least caught a glimpse of the lights before he got me, was able to slow it down to only 14 over. got off with a hundred bucks and a slap on the wrist. The whole thing could have been avoided if i just stoped being a cheap ass, and shelled out the money for a detector, need to do that A.S.A.P.

Man.. I got caught on a BS charge in PG county in Maryland... The start trooper pulled me over because i passed him as he was getting off of the highway. he didn't pull me over for speeding but for aggressive driving.. said I cut off the road to pass traffic in a left lane, weaving through traffic and drving at excessive speeds... I was in a '96 Ford escort, 2 door, manual.. She was having problems at the time, and i couldn't get the car to go over 80... (i was bigger then) Slapped me with a $375 ticket and 3 points...
Took it to court and won... Was very nice to the cop but he had and additude about something.. didn't say that in the trial.. but I took picuters of the road which had no shoulders where he pulled me over, and some other important facts.. It was a Saturday morning, like 6 in the morning, there was very little traffic, and i stayed in the fast lane.. The only thing was, i had KY plates on the car... i'm no transporter...

haha i just talked to the da and got mine to like less than nine over, it was almost pitch black, their was no excuse. I did get off once after draging a cop, he was in an unmarked and passed me when i was going ten over. I was like fuck this dropped it down and flored it, next thing i know there's lights in my rearveiw, the guy said he pulled me over for weaving. I guess he thought i was drunk, explained to guy about shit going on at school and the guy let me go. All my days of doing plays in high school came in handy, made my body start shaking, fought back fake crying it was perfect, and the best part no ticket :)

Sweet... No tickets are the best.. Winning in court is a great feeling.. Unless your lawyer charges you 10 times the amount of the ticket.. But even if you have to pay the fine.. getting no points is worth paying the large lump sums to the lawyer, Public defender. whatever...

Yeah one ticket, and one accident and still no points. :) I hope thats still the case after the rally though.

Yeah one ticket, and one accident and still no points. :) I hope thats still the case after the rally though.
Lucky bastartd. I got some points for a 10 over that was bs. and a failure to yeild.

Nick

I alredy have 3.. 1 from when i first got my licence (3 points 68 in 35), Moving violation - no left turn during the time your turning.. and speeding again.. officer was really cool.. I was doing 80 in a 30.. he said he didn't have his radar up and gave me a ticket for 40 in a 30.. About 1 ticket a year... Insurance Loves me.. cause they kep kicking up my premiums.. Good thing.. Only one was in the lancer...

haha, yeah the parentals whould have slayed me if they had tacked on points. I think because it was so slow they just cut me some slack, 14 over in a 14 year old car is diffrernt in the eyes of the cops, than a 1 year old car 10 over, i guess.

I think i'm getting older though.. i'm driving more responsibly. except on those snow days... The lttle kid in my just comes out to play...

yeah im trying to be more responsible but i did from 30-50 over on back roads heading back to the parents home, might have even run from the cops, thought i saw a flasher but just said screw it, and floored it. she held pretty well through the turns.

good driving... The lights was a kid flashing a flash light because he was diabled on the road...

yeah thats what i keep telling myself :) , (see no cop, there is no cop) if their was one i lost him in the turns every one was at atleast 80 took the lines through every one it was tight, i've met my need for speed for a little while.

i got a question....how come something done purely for looks is considered rice?

whats so wrong with wanting your car to look nice. The lip kit i have in mind has no functionality whatsoever (it MIGHT reduce drag by the slimist of margins) and the cf hood i want doesnt really make much of a difference on a 3000lb car, but i love the way unpainted cf looks. Im also planning wider tires for the rear in a fwd car.

I think that rice is a modification done in bad taste, which would make rice a subjective category, which it is already, because if u ask two different people what their opinion of rice is they will most likely have different deffinitions.

btw alicia do u have any pics of your car? engine shots would be cool too if u can.


plus...the term rice doesnt apply to me :D 8-)

edit: i didnt feel like reading through the whole thing so if this has been discussed lemme know

btw alicia do u have any pics of your car? engine shots would be cool too if u can.




the Z or the accord?

the Z or the accord?

the accord DUH! why do i wanna see a stock z?

j/k
:D

but seriously, the accord

hey a stock Z is still a pretty Z

anyway...

http://www.diablesseracing.com/images/car.gif
http://www.diablesseracing.com/images/accord.jpg
bottom one was when I had just a front chin spoiler, top was the R34 front bumper.
I need to look for my pics of the engine. They are around here somwhere. Such a pretty h22. Plus some of the guages etc.

Miss that car... it was cool looking.. It's come a long way. I love that nody style. DOn't really like the new ones. U always drive the Z, you gotta give some love to your old baby 2

damn it! Looks like I'll have to take a pic of it tomorrow. Here are some other pics though

http://www.diablesseracing.com/images/accordlight.jpg

that's the old f22 sohc original engine
http://www.diablesseracing.com/images/accord f22.jpg

and the h22 before it went in.
http://www.diablesseracing.com/images/leecys engine.jpg

love the lip (greddy?), nice car, r those cp10's?


did u do the swap urself?

and yes the z is a very pretty car

yes it's the greddy/stillen lip. And Racing Hart CP035. Used to be the lightest street legal wheel of it's time. I still like that car. I still have it. But it's FOR SALE.

oh and I have some really great guys that do all my engine work T&S customizing in Frederick MD.

yea its my fav. gen accord, my mom had a 97 ex w/ the F23a 5spd...that thing was awsome.

NOOOOO!!!! it's so you.. but on the other hand, you have your new toy, the z

h22 accord < twin turbo 350z


once u weigh the options, the decision is ineviteble

unless ur using the money for somethign responsible :\

accord = money for rally

Sell The Accord!!!!!

the accord's clean though isn't she? she's pretty too :(

yup, she looks good and runs good

werd.

hey u gotta have money left over, how much is that worth like 6 grand?

u can TT that baby for 3 grand tops (unless u buy a dreaded kit)

I wanted to get 5-6K but I don't think I can get it :(
I've put it through hell in the past couple month and it needs some work. The suspension is shot, windshield is cracked and she needs new tires all the way round.

you might be able to get that much if you have documentation showing that all your work was done at a repetuable tuner.

oh and I have some really great guys that do all my engine work T&S customizing in Frederick MD.


Are the guys in Frederick really good?? I have some good guys in Baltimore but i don't want them working on my engine. Everything else is cool... but not my engine... if i need too, i can drive it up or tow the lancer myself.


Suggestions from anyone: When i do go to upgrade my engine, do you think it would be better to buy a whole new engine, like a modified EVO III engine or just add turbo to my current engine... The modified EVO engine will fit perfectly but leave very little room for any other mods; The turbo will take some work to get it in there, but if placed correctly i will have plenty of space for whatever... (projected specs..) EVO iii = 266 power / 309 torque / top speed 180 regular engine with turbo kit = 240 - 280 power / 270 - 350 torque / top speed 210... i think i just answered my own question... Turbo right???

Sell your car and buy a used EVO. It would be easier than swapping the motor. Then you would have AWD too.

Nick

what he said^^

listen to the man he is an awd fiend.

if you decide too keep your current car, the T&S guys are amazing. I can definitely refer you to them. I'm at their shop as often as I can make it. Just let me know.

T & S sucks, my friend had a engine swap on a 92 civic. He put a h22 in there and he only wanted to run in the 12's all motor but instead first run he ran low 11's. They have no idea what they are doing..lol. Just kidding. There great guys. They've been around for a while and they know there stuff. There very reasonable to. They don't over charge like everyone else does. You should give them a shot

theres a lancer oz at my friends shop haard motorsports (im pretty sure they have a site) that they just turboed the stock motor, that bastard is fast. i guess they have some potential.

but if you looking for it to perform like a lancer, forget it, too many differences, might as well buy one.

Thanks.. i'll keep that in mind... i still have some time to make my decision for what i'm going to do.. Worst case - i sell my tahoe and the lancer and buy new vehicles... Why stop there... Buy a house in vA too... i sure do wish i had it like that..."a man is broke not because of the money he makes, but because of the choices he makes with the money he has." i think i made that up.. but if someone has heard that quote from someone else... please let me know.. i'll stop claiming it..

Sorry to say this but sell the Lancer. Then go out and buy a supercharger, header back exhaust, belltech 2/3" lowering kit, Baer Eradispeed brakes, and some 20" wheels for your Tahoe. It will be quick, handle well, and be good year round.

Nick
