My definition of ricey = Slow imports with more cosmetic mods than performance modes i.e, 5 foot spoiler, huge ass fart can muffler, body kits with stock rims, too many stickers is major rice a roni! That type of stuff. My motto has always been, dont make a car look faster than it really is.:)

LOL major rice a roni!:alien:

the term rice was coined cuz some cars(especially honda's) tendency to burn oil when they engage vtec(or other non-honda form of cam phasing) which, to some, the burning oil smells like burnt rice. the real term is rice burner

Dude, thats not the reason its called a rice burner or the reason that imports are reffered to as rice. That term has been around since my dad had his 67 Datsun 1200 back in 78, and well before that. Its a rude term used to poke fun at where the car is built.

it actually startd with the chain driven subarus that first came over here. they were 2 stroke and the burning oil smelled like rice. i'm sure it would have been called a "something else"-burner if it came from somewhere other than japan. you're right, but that's not the only reason why

What's the difference between a guido car and riced out one? (I resent the term rice):mad:

True, but the majority of people that use the term use it because of the location of origin of the car. I didnt know about the burnt rice smell, thats very interesting.

A guido car to me would be a cadi or an old fire bird with the big fire chicken (pheonix) painted on the hood. The fire bird for sure.

And Kaoru, rice is a rude term, I dont blame you, just curious if you are of asian decent? Not that it matters...

Man thats foul!!

I didnt come up with it. Are you calling me foul or the fact that thats true?

No No not you. that fact that its a term to poke fun of were the cars from. Sorry not you.

Oh, not a problem, I was just making sure you knew where I stood on the subjet.

I think the term is rude but it seems to have taken on a new meaning these days that isnt as rude as it used to be. I refer to most domestic cars as "crap."

I would rather be driving my "rice buggie" with 180,000 miles than some domestic POS cavalier or grand am.

I guess having the best and most reliable cars means taking some shit sometimes...we can handle! :D

True , True. I see you have a Legend. are you on the Acura Legend board? I am.:D

i wonder if other cultures have terms for american cars.

Yeah, I have the same name over at acura-legend.com. I go there a lot! Whats your name over on that board?

It's the same. :D MrSmith. It's short for Smithsonic Boom But I tell people it's Mrsmith Wesson

Cool, you got a G1 or G2?

G1 1990 LS Sedan. I took some new pics but I need to retake them.:flash:

If you are looking for a dash kit im selling one on ebay right now, I would much rather sell it to a legend fiorum member though. The price is really negotiable, i need the money for a strut job, both my front springs are craked... Check it out, let me know if you are interested...
