Before you read on, I must clarify that the term 'riceboy' is not a racial term. I'm asian too!

It is given to people that 'tune up' their cars a certain way. I am not a racist person but after visiting www.jimmy540i.com (nitemare section) www.ricecop.com, www.riceboypage.com and www.noright.com I just thought maybe I should do a 'fun' page as well.
 
 

I guess everyone has their own definition for this term but I guess you're a riceboy if:

Qualification 1: The Car

1. Powered by Honda stickers when you're driving a Toyota
2. Chinese/Japanese characters that even a native speaker cannot understand
3. Stickers of tuning parts that your car does not have.(most popular is NOS)
4. Altezza or 'Euro Style' lights
5. Lights or bodypart that is from another car..aka..a hybrid
6. More gagues than a 747 cockpit
7. Vinyl 'leather look' interior
8. Painted steering wheel

11. Playstation/TV/DVD/Computer/MP3/keyboard/boom stick/black light/Knight rider lights
12. Wing that is 3 times the height of your car

15. Bodykit that is so low that you scrape practically everywhere you go
16. 20 foglights on your car

Qualification 2: The driver

1. You think you're the meanest baddest racer in the world because you know how to play Gran Turismo
2. Talk cars/racing/engineering like you actually know what you're talking about (neither do I but some shit I've heard are pretty ridiculous)
3. Your favourite girl looks like those import show girls ( I don't want to get into this one...you know who you are)
4. You have enough attitude to even humble Michael Schumacher ( If you don't know him...don't worry)
5. You run a 17.6 quarter mile at the drag strip but then erase the 7 and replace it with a 4 and claim your intake cut three seconds off your 1/4 mile.
6. By pointing ur exhaust sideways, I'll add 50hp to my car...
7. You dress the same as everyone that goes to the opening night of Fast and the Furious
8. If you thought Fast and the furious was the best movie ever made
9. You're a racer becuz you go to the 1/4 mile track. ( My granma knowz how to mash a pedal and she's 74)
10. Somehow you're better than everyone else because your car is faster
11. You're better becuz you have more cash
12. You belong in a 'racing team' that goes to import shows and race civics 1/10th of your car's horsepower on the freeway (yeah baby! i'm cool!)
13. You're a good driver because you can weave in and out of traffic (checkout my MAD SKILLZ)
14. You think Better suspension = installing coilvers and swaybars and strut bars ( why do racecar engineers get paid so much again?)
15. You think Intake adds 50hp when your intake is actually sucking in hot air
16. Do stuff to the car to claim performance when it actually hurt the car (cut spring)
 

My favourite riceboy equations:

Ricer Trend Update:

It seems to me that ricers have separated into two group...the import showoff ricers and the jdm ricers...
Generally Jdm ricers have watched too much initial D and somehow wish they can drift (not power oversteer) like takumi fujiwara. They often visit the canyons and talk like they are mad drifters from Japan with their initial D stickers on their car. PLease guyz...get some help...you guyz are bringing too many cops to the mountains so now the real canyon racers go at 5am in the morning...Interesting picture I found on the internet....
