Imports

Why I hate imports. Why would I explain if I could just show you. One day this car was normal. Yes it had no plastic fenders and no Type R decals. Unfortunately, the car was sold into the ownership of a ricer and it all started from there. Why would people do this to a car? I havent a clue! Is the car fast? No it is not! Does it have a custom exhaust? Yes, a $120 fartpipe and a large greddy sticker. This should be a crime. I just wanted to show you guys this pic.



Iam sorry if it scares you at all.

Thats a carbon fiber hood. It weighs 100 pounds less so when he does the 1/4, he might actually get into the 16s with the weight reduction.

DOWN WITH RICE!!!

What is the deal with the carbon fiber hoods, can they not be painted? That is the ugliest part of the vehicle, in my opinion, but I could understand if someone didn't have enough to have it done or something, but dang, come on now, people spend a lot on rice!

Hey I am rice and F150

I am getting a little tired of people bashing import cars. I mean people make fun of us who drive trucks as "rednecks" or what ever. So that makes me "Red Rice Neck"

I have 1997 Mit. Ecplise GST tons of mods but I do not have any stickers. I have a carbon fiber hood and the body kit from Fast N Furious. I have Full Greddy Exhuast, Greddy IC piping, Greddy Intake, HKS Turbo Timer, APEX Boost Control, Greddy BOV, Upgrded fuel rails, injectors, modified fuel cell, all the weight reduction I can take off. I am pushing on the street around 18pis and at the track 24psi. It runs low 12's on street and high 11's with slicks on in th 1/4 but I will be adding NOS soon so I can keep up with the Supra's and 300ZX's out there.

BTW I can spank most L's out there but not all.

I am going to get a sticker made that says "I would rather be driving my Rice" and I will have one that says "I would rather be driving my Red Neck Truck"

I will be the first to admint yes there are some horrible imports out there but hey it must look good to them.

To everyone there own but no reason flame.

"Rice is an adjective meaning a car is all show and no go."

Does that make you a ricer? I guess not dude. I dont hate imports in general but its people like the ones in that pic that give import drivers a bad name. I like all kinds of cars and I surely have respect for a 12 second import. But some people put fartpipes, greddy stickers with out even owning that exhaust, and TypeR decals when they in no way pertain to their car. I would like to see a pic of your ride because out of all the imports out there i find GST and GSX to be very cool looking. I hate what mitsubishi did with its new eclipse. It looks like garbage.

The car in that pic looks like a honda accord. I have to say that GTR sticker looks very wierd. I have seen a few mustangs running around with a similar design. Domestic rice? I think so.
