If you need to ask if it's rice, it probably is.

I wonder if he has another car at home which has a VL front end and a VY SS back end. :hihi:

I dunno, it's a bit like wearing odd socks isn't it? People will notice you, but they will think you're a tool.

Unique??? Thank God for that.

RICE= Nismo stickers on Hondas, Dattos,etc......I see this at least every 2 weeks or so when I'm on the road, these are usually accompanied by 8-9 skinny tools who are yet unable to sustain a baseball cap at the correct angle on their wall-eyed domes leering out of their mums overloaded 120 Y Bother. No offence. Actually, yes, maybe a little :

HOW COULD ANY ONE SUGGEST OR MENTION A DODGE DAYTONA OR PLYMOUTH SUPERBIRD AND RICE IN THE SAME SENTENCE!?!?!?
A car (asian import usually) with neons,mega-dollar "doof-doof",wagon wheels, 5" tacho and exhaust tip to match......is rice.
Fluffy dice are not rice,but a cruising essential!

Really? That's news to me! I thought the toyota soarer's had a 4L all alloy V8. I think Nissan make/made a 4.5L V8 also, are these cars not sold in japan??? And wasnt the next installation in the Nissan GT-R history rumoured to be a V8 at one stage?

  • Purple or Pink rims
  • Chrome rotating spinner rims
  • Fake Shakers
  • Chrome or stainless steel spoilers
  • Neon Lights (underneath or anywhere)
  • Excessive Gauges (like the one in that post awhile back, that was a classic ricer)
  • Spent more on the Stereo than the engine
  • No room for passengers or luggage (boot and back seat filled with Sub-Woofers)
  • Racing harnesses in a 1.5Lt Car.
  • Things hanging from the rear vision mirror (well..maybe not rice but I hate that, so I am putting them in. Especially those damn Crystals)
  • 5" Exhausts.
What he/she said

and excessive tupperware

Reeeeeeeallllyyy! If that were the case , why was the Ford Australia , XW concept car , the "Surfer Roo " in the late 60's /early70's such a hit with the public ! The rear wings were sold by several manufacturers and were very popular . Owen Webb even had one on one of his first cars to make it into print! It was a midnight blue Xw ute called the " Bruiser " in the mid 80's and it was tipped by many people in the industry to be a vehicle of great importance to the evolution of the street machine culture !

The BA Pursuit Utes are factory fitted with a spoiler you had no choice its how they came, you took it off you had to buy a new hard cover or put up with the 4 holes. .
