sorry heres the link

Interesting....

But doesn't work for us 96-98 peoples :loser:

that may not be true my friend i have a friend with a totaled 98 and it appears that once the center part is taken of it appears just the same as the 99 -00 though im not 100 precent sure

Being tracked by the government is so cool! All the kids are doing it!

Man I am going to love it when the whole country has shit like this in their cars the police can use to track them, and the cops don't need to sit on the roads with radar anymore. It's like volunteering to be on a special "monitored by aircraft" speed trap list. I'll be the one hauling ass down the NY State Thruway with no gps, no cell phone, no on-star, and no ez pass. Just some maps and a bunch of quarters.

Hurry, everyone! Run out and buy all the satellite and cellular gear you can, so some day I can drive in peace.

:evillol:

LMFAO thanks i'm sick and I just needed a good laugh!

sadly its true but whatever god invented maps and mapquest for a reason. GPS in the car come on its not like the middle of the ocean get lost no biggy.

If someone is so retarded that they can't read a map to figure where they're going, they probably shouldn't be driving a car anyway.

Wow! Cool! I never saw that before. It would probably be a PITA to get it to work right in a USDM civic, probably a nightmare waiting to happen. Looks real cool.

i dont think everyone is seeing the same potentional in it as i do i know it is mostly a navi tool but also it shows in the ad that it has a tv input which means a very stock looking lcd sceen in your dash with out all the custom work

True, it would look real slick, but like I said it seems like a nightmare waiting to happen. Do you know someone/are you good with wiring aspect of it? Would you want the radio and GPS to work? Upon closer look it seems like some of the AM/FM controls are in Japanese. But then again if your a JDM buff that's a good thing, right? If it’s just the display for a video feed then it shouldn’t be a problem. If you do go thru with it keep us informed!

the radio won't work for sure. Japanese radio works on totally different frequencies than US radio.

yes i am a jdm buff i am working and trying to get my 99 cpe as jdm as i can its a friece battle but its worth it i may go through with this i dont know depends on how high the price goes but i do have a friend who is my electronic mad genuis and we feel that it would be able to do along with switching my lower center consol for an older one were i can mount a dvd/ cd deck ill keep you posted if i dont it and if it works

JDM wannabe = :gay:

I'm sorry, but this JDM shit has gone way too far. Sure, hopefully I'll have another civic to toy around with by this summer, and i plan on getting mugen front lip and sideskirts and Mugen MF10 knockoff rims, but that's going to be the extent of the JDM shit that I do. Getting a JDM radio that isn't going to work with any US frequencies and not even knowing for sure if the navi will work or not is going too far.

Were you the one that wanted CTR carpet too???

Of course, this is all just IMO.

BTW: No matter how hard you try, your car will never be a JDM Civic unless you are sitting on the right hand side while driving.

Reprogramming his radio to US frequencies shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just the getting everything to work like it belongs there would be tough. ($$$$)

As for the JDM fanboy stuff, to each his own.

I can't believe this! Since when is having pride in your car Gay. It's a Japanese car right. Why not do your best to convert it to Japanese specs. Everyone is so quick to shit on people who pay the extra money for spoon wheels vice Rota's. How about having some pride in your vehicle. Nothing against Rota, I'm a big fan, but I love seeing cars that were loved enuf to have Recaro seats and mugen wheels put on them, instead of rota C8's and Tenzo seats.

I dump money into authentic JDM parts too. For all the other JDM fans out there. Keep doing what your doing, and don't let the few ignorant senior members get you down!

JDM!

You wanna know why. First let's think about the definition of a ricer. It's someone who poses as or having something they don't right. Like all the stickers of companies that they have no products of and trying to look fast.

Now let's think about this JDM trend. You people buy all of these JDM parts trying to make your car JDM, but will it ever be...NO. Your car is just posing as a JDM car which = ricer.

Realy, I consider "rice" to be extensive mods that have no performance benifits. And just to make sure I understand your definition. A hatch with a Type R lip kit, Recaro front seats, Black rear seats with red stitch, Type R floor mats, CTR steering Wheel, and CTR engine swap is rice. Yeah right. And if you are right, than what does that make people with knock off mugen wheels? (Like the kind you were talking about getting) "Fake Rice"

Enjoy your lunch!

what you described i don't consider rice, but when it extends to getting fucking CTR carpet and a navi system that more than likely won't work for shit just to say you have these JDM parts is rice. Just like if you get a fucking gas cap off of a JDM car just to say you have JDM pieces. I'm talking about JDM factory parts here, everything you listed is after market besides the steering wheel and engine swap.

All the parts I listed are OEM. Maybe not OEM to the USDM, but OEM to Honda. A great Example, my integra has Honda emblems on it now. Not Red ones, but the plain silver ones. Does this = rice?

You know it takes a big man to admit he was wrong. Let me know when you grow up!

Does this = rice?

Yup.

Read what you wrote. According to you, this is rice. By the way, this is a GS-R, not Type R. It has a honda emblem on the back, a front end only available in Japan. Recaro SRD's that only came in JDM ITR's, and five lug conversion that is not available for GS-R's. All these parts make this car look like a "JDM" Type R, which you discribe as rice because the steering wheel is on the left side. Yeah right.

If this is rice, I'm hungry!

Yup.

I've heard you describe your car. It's about as interesting as the shoping cart in my avatar.

Nice car.
Still rice.

My car isn't supposed to be interesting. 50 years from now, there are going to be ten million riced out civics at the classic car shows, and then my clean, stock looking civic will be interesting.

HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! I'm sure it will, but where will you be? HA HA HA!!! Yeah Right!

This is the point. GScivic7 can defend some idiot putting 18's on his civic, but has the nerve to judge some one who wants Quality "JDM" OEM parts on there car. He should hang a sign around his head that says "Bias opinion".

Huh?
I don't get it... is that a riddle?

50 years from now, you wont have that car anymore. Let's be realistic. If you did, who would care. "Carpe' diem"

We should all enjoy what we have while we have it.

I do enjoy my car.
I enjoy passing all those ricers on the highway, because the State Troopers are looking for cars like yours, and letting cars like mine get away with murder.

Which is really all I was saying in the first place. Go ahead, do what you want, so the cops leave me alone.

What? Thank make no sense. Do you know what OEM stands for. Original Equipment Manufacture. Which means there all honda parts, just the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) version. They don't stand out to police any more than stock USDM parts. Can the cops see that my seats have read stitching, and not just all black? Maybe they can tell my front lip is made by spoon sports and not just the stock ITR lip. Or maybe they are looking for Integra's with Honda symbols!

Can anyone on this forum just admit they were wrong?

No, the cops don't care whether it's JDM or USDM. They just know rice when they see it.

To each his/her own...do what ever u want to do to your car and stop caring about what others have to say about it...u want to rice ya car out wit all the stickers and APC accessories and what not..then do it, the price u pay is more tickets and police harrassment, but its your car, your paying for the tickets, and the "rice" accessories, as for me..im with Kafziel, i would rather my car BE fast but LOOK slow, i dont have any after market accessories on my car that doesnt make it faster...i guess the point is do what ever it is u want to do to your car because everyone is gonna have their opinion..u cant really knock em for it as long as your satisfied then thats all that matters

I don't think you grasp the point of our conversasion. No one is talking about stickers and wings. We are talking about spending the extra money on JDM parts instead of the US equivalent. Wheather or not that is rice. The item in question is a JDM GPS system. So what are you talking about?

RIce is Rice...anyway u cut it....there are no degrees to rice....if u do anything to your car thats considered rice....then chances are your rice...bottom line...im just tryin 2 say who gives a flying rats ass who considers what to be rice...thats what im talkin bout

I'm not sure I understand. You said if you do ANYTHING to your car, thats rice? If I swap the engine out of a stock hatch, that makes it rice. If I add performance upgrades to my car, thats rice.

I'm not trying to start a war. I just want to know what rice is. Maybe my definition is wrong. Help me out, define rice!

word

Great, an internet cheerleader...

ok apartly i the one who started this thread have to put an end to all this bitching yes its jdm oh well i guess i havent clearly put it how i see it i see this as a clean way to have an lcd screen in your civic thats it i found this as being neat and unique and if that makes it rice so what big deal i enjoy having a clean looking car i enjoy the items that are not stock to look like they belong thats all and for the type r carpet i like and yes i am the same one who brought that up im just wondering i have found a good deal on it thats all im trying to bring across

All the parts I listed are OEM. Maybe not OEM to the USDM, but OEM to Honda. A great Example, my integra has Honda emblems on it now. Not Red ones, but the plain silver ones. Does this = rice?

You know it takes a big man to admit he was wrong. Let me know when you grow up!
lol you have honda emblems on an acura, that is rice i'm sorry. The parts you listed, when they first come to mind are aftermarket pieces, if you had said that you meant all CTR parts, yup you are a ricer. I'm not going to say the shit isn't clean, but yes it is rice.

And you said that i have a bias opinion, well that's exactly what it is, my opinion. That is why i said that in my post that all of this is just IMO. Opinions aren't right or wrong, you should go back to school and learn some of these words over again.

EDIT: okay missed the floor mats and shit like that, but yes all that shit is rice too unless it is in a Type R civic, which you will never own unless you import one.

EDIT AGAIN: Why the fuck was he banned?

Why did he just get banned? By the way, acording to Bennybackwood007, your car is "rice". Any modification is rice. Again, anyone know why he was just banned?

By the way. I'm a JDM freak!

Also, if the Integra on the previous page is rice, I want some!

Well, do what you do. Just like Benny said, to each his own. If you like it more power to you. I'm still going to sit here and say it's rice, but this is the internet and pretty much no one on these boards knows each other personally, so there isn't any point in taking the comments personally. They are just opinions, reason why I always say IMO.

Also, if the Integra on the previous page is rice, I want some!
it is rice in my eyes, maybe not yours or a lot of other people's, but I could think of a lot better things to spend money on than a JDM front end and 5 lug conversion. That's like a turbo kit and a half right there.

According to Benny, turbos are rice. "if you do anyting to your car thats considered rice"

Why did you ban nicodemus? If not you, than who?

lol...i don't have banning powers, i'm just a member.

And he didn't mean that ANYTHING you do to a car is considered rice, he meant that anything THAT IS considered rice, then it is riced. Do you get it cause that was kinda hard to explain.

And I'm not saying that the GSR on the other page isn't clean or anything like that, but that shit is rice in my eyes. Maybe it's cause I'm so fed up with the whole JDM fad fanboy shit. Just like all the VTEC fad fanboys from just two-three years ago.

Im not saying anything u do to your car is rice...i said...."if you anything that IS CONSIDERED RICE, then chances are your rice"...i have aftermarket parts on my car but im not rice...all my mods have a specific purpose...to give my car more power..simple as that, im not really into body kits and wings, and big rims an what not..now granted some of that shit is REAL nice but its not me....im the guy that the ricers pull up to at the stop light thinkin its an easy win because i dont have a big ass jet fighter wing on the back of my car and im not reppin apc and obx....less then 10 seconds later they LOST.....

Why did you ban nicodemus? If not you, than who?


This is something I’d like to know as well. Who banned him, and why? Did he threaten someone in a PM? Guy was just getting into a heated debate with another forum member. Is there more to it?

Not sure why he got banned..not sure if he deserved it, but someone thought he did

it seems like this has been a trend lately. B18LS got banned for no apparent reason either.

Im not saying anything u do to your car is rice...i said...."if you anything that IS CONSIDERED RICE, then chances are your rice"...

I'm not sure I understand your statement above... Anyway. APC, OBX, they fall in the same catogory as Altezza lights, clear corners, 17's, 18's, aluminum wings, exterior stickers and neon lights.

(JDM) But Recaro SRD seats, (JDM, Cusco coilovers, (JDM) CTR intrior, (JDM) B16B engine swaps, (JDM) exct, exct.. These are all just a means of getting the most satisfaction out of your car. People who call me JDM whore, and JDM freak are just jealus losers. Big difference between JDM lovers and rice. Oh yeah, did you say you had a ten second car, or did you mean you would be in the lead in ten seconds. Lets see some pictures of your car! Maybe some of that engine you spoke so highly of.

he means if you install anything that is considered rice, emphasis on considered rice, then it is rice. Not saying that anything you do to a car is rice, just anything that one may consider is rice, is then rice. Cause it's just a person's opinion. Not everyone is going to make everyone happy. What would be the point in modding cars if you are trying to satisfy someone else and not yourself?

it seems like this has been a trend lately. B18LS got banned for no apparent reason either.

Yes, it is true, I did! Read all my posts and see. Tell me this. How is it you can put knock off mugen wheels on your car and it's not rice, but if some one saves up the money to get the real thing it is. It's not, and if it is, that makes you "Fake Rice" Mugen is a Japanese company!

I never said it wasn't rice. Everyone has a bit of ricer in them.


Also, if it's fake rice, is it rice at all??? LOL :p

This is something I’d like to know as well. Who banned him, and why? Did he threaten someone in a PM? Guy was just getting into a heated debate with another forum member. Is there more to it?

I work with "Nicodemus". We were at work when all of this happened. He didn't PM anyone. I was right there over his shoulder for the whole convesation. I PM a mod asking why, but havn't heard anything yet. We are both marines. I came out of the field monday and my original user name was banned too. (B18 ls) I would like to know what happened.

if it's fake rice, is it rice at all??? LOL :p


This is "Nicodemus". GScivic7, point taken, who cares anymore! I want to know who banned me and why! Thats fu%&ed up! Ban some one over this.

You know it's kinda funny. I remember seeing the exact same pic of that silver teg you had in your sig in Nicodemus' sig, just way scaled down. Not one in the same are you? Cause that is just immature.

We work together. We are both marines at Camp Lejeune in NC. I was showing "Nicodemus" how to post a picture. This is why it was only up there for a couple of minutes. I (b18ls/b18 ls) have been on AF for at while.

Whats immature is banning some one for there opinion on JDM parts. Let me guess, no one knows why he was banned, but we all know it happened in the middle of a debate with you! Who cares, the debate was stupid, but why was he banned for it? Anyone?

Things we have learned with in the passed few hrs:


1) JDM civics had a real cool little known option for a motorizes combination CD/tape/TV/GPS/radio head unit.
2) Rice is in the eyes of the beholder.
3) Don’t mess with GScivic7 'cause he conceal carries a bann stick in an IWB holster:nono:.

3) Don’t mess with GScivic7 'cause he conceal carries a bann stick in an IWB holster:nono:.

It is a shame it has come to this. Banned for a different opinion. Tis, Tis.

Somebody probably saw a fight coming on and didn't want to fill the board up with useless arguing like this... so they did a temp ban to stop the idiocy, and just haven't been back online since to undo what was done.
I believe locking the thread would have been more effective... but with any luck, your old screen name, and your friends screen name will be un-banned.

Rice truely is in the eye of the beholder... and you can either look at that as a negative.. or embrace it, and try to be the best at what you know you love.
For instance, the person who said he's a JDM freak... if that's his thing, and he does it to the best of his ability, then he's the kind of guy I like.
Whatever you like... go with it... don't listen to anyone else... The End.

P.S.
That's why I have a type-r style wing, a mid wing, and mud flaps... cause that's what I like, and I went with it... and nobody can change my mind about what I think is cool and what I don't.

Whats immature is banning some one for there opinion on JDM parts. Let me guess, no one knows why he was banned, but we all know it happened in the middle of a debate with you! Who cares, the debate was stupid, but why was he banned for it? Anyone?
OMG, I didn't ban his ass. I can't ban people I'm just a member, not a mod or an admin. I didn't PM a mod to get him banned or anything like that. We were having a debate and expressing our opinions that's it. I don't think there was a reason for him to be banned either.

retarded!!!!

retarded!!!!
Post whore!

LMFAO

Okay, first of all, what's up leathernecks! I was stationed at Camp Lejeune, too, in 97, 98, and 99. 2nd Radio Bn and 26th MEU. Many a glorious time did my friends and I outrun the MPs out on Private Bolio Rd and then haul ass off base or hide out in the PX parking lot. Used to take my Civic on some of the trails, too. Good times, man!

Now, my feelings on "rice". Everyone has something they consider rice. Chevy drivers think all Jap cars are rice. I've got friends with civics who think I'm rice because I have I/H/E and alloy rims (just 14" Honda ones). I think anyone with a spoiler and a body kit is rice. People with JDM kits think people with USDM parts are rice. And people with cheap ass Autozone-special fogs and short rams think Hyundai drivers are rice. It never ends. I don't worry about my friends calling me rice. I just like to keep my "rice" under the hood, so it's easier to blend in with the crowd.

so your saying that if someone has something clean like carbon creations C-1 carbon fiber body kit on there car is rice

yeah, but not that it's bad, as long as you like it then it's cool. I'm not one of those guys in these forums that goes around bitching that everyone is rice. The only time rice bothers me is when it interferes with other drivers, like blue headlights. But as long as you're not making the road dangerous for other people, do what makes you happy.

I was pushing to split the forums to have one for people who do mods for looks, and another one for people who do mods for performance. They are two completely different mindsets but they both have good things about them.

My original post in this thread was just trying to wake up everyone to see how The Man is using you. The government wants all these electronic locators and wireless communications to be in style, so once people are dependent on them and all cars come standard with them, they can start using them to catch speeders.

ok man i get you nad with my first post in this i was trying to get people to see that this is a neat jdm part that i never really knew existed and that i found neat and that i thought the honda community would also. as soon as my car is put back together ill post pics but right now its in the middle of a b16b swap and its torn to hell after thats put in its off to get repainted honda flamico black and then the carbon creations c1 kit goes back on which includes a carbon fiber front bumer, rear bumber and sides skirts and in carbon going on the car oem fenders and hood also trunk, just put in type r red recaro seats and a new set of tein coilovers it also has a greddy evo2 exhaust so if thats rice to you all so be it but hey its my opinion i own the car and have to drive it everyday not all of you

exactly

Everyone has their own opinion about rice and thats fine...what some might consider rice, others may not...we all know what is rice (stickers, big ass wings, muffler tips, chrome hubcaps, etc.)...others consider other things rice (fake name brand rims, fake jdm cars, universal mufflers, etc) and thats fine too, who cares what other people think about your car...some might consider me rice because i have i/h/e...you know what i say to them?? "i might be considered rice..but can you beat me??" 9 outta 10 times the answer is no...but i dont get mad and throw hissy fits cuz they call me rice...fuck em and feed em beans is what i say...Rice IS in the eye of the beholder...i have friends that have altezza's and tips and neon lights but i dont pass judgement on them because i know without a doubt that i can smoke them in a race, my car may not look the best or get the most attention but its the fastest outta me and my folks cars and thats all im concerned with...as for b18ls...no i dont have a 10 sec. car...not many people do..apparently you missed the point of that story but thats neither here nor there..what i said was when a ricer pulls up to me thinkin he can beat me in a race because i dont have a pepboys credit card, they lose the race because i dont spend my money on cheap ugly accessories that make my car slower...i buy quality performance parts that give me more HP and TRQ....now maybe if i had the money i would buy 10 more cars and rice 5 of them the fuck out just to say i have them, but i dont...so i choose to invest my money into what I like....i guess the point im tryin to make is i dont pass judgement on anyone, do what ever it is you like...if u love jdm so much, then good for u, i hope your satisfied with whatever it is you put on your car, and that goes for anyone else..killa crx has a wing on his car but hes happy with it and that all that matters...dont let anyone tell you that what u like and want isnt right...everyone is entitled to their own opinion

i agree with you totally we all own hondas and they come from japan so the people with american cars and going to think were rice no matter what we do so i say every one go out and buy a box of white rice and put a label on it saying HONDA Race fuel and leave the part the says white rice uncover

exactly

Leatherneck, Yeah! It's always good to see more marines out there. As for racing on base. Not in my car. When I had my bike though... Any one know who banned "Nicodemus".

As for the rice, who cares. "Nicodemus" just doesn't like people who put down others for spending money on JDM parts.

I agree..no one should be put down for anything they do...to each his own...but at the same time you cant really put someone down for expressing their opinion....maybe its just a temp ban though...have him try his User name and pass later on today.

JDM wannabe = :gay:

I'm sorry, but this JDM shit has gone way too far.

I "Nicodemus" just didn't want comments like the one above to discourage anyone from persueing the JDM trend. I don't care about anyone elses car, but it's nice to meet others with the same intrests as me.

JDM freak...

Hey Benny, hope you don't mind but I'm quoting you in my sig... that shit cracked me up.

Yes, I ment to say something about that. Nice!

i say if we are going to be made fun of for wanting JDM on our cars screw em shove back in their faces go with the rice boxes and honda race fuel

No problem....im just glad there are no hard feelings about anything that was said in this discussion.

Hey. We are on Page six now. This "Rice" topic started on page one. Not a bad little debate, and no feelings were hurt. Except for the fact nicodemus got banned! Otherwise I think it was handled fairly well.

PS, that Integra on page 2 or 3 was awsome!

i would have to agree this little thread i started was mostly out there to see if anyone else had seen anything like this before and know we have become the biggest topic in the 96-00 section

what exactly is JDM or OEM?

JDM.....Japanese Domestic Market
OEM.....Original Equipment Manufacturer

I was banned over this petty subject. Anyway,
USDM=US Domestic Market. (I figured it pertained to the question at hand since JDM and USDM are often used in comparison)

N/A freak, JDM nutt...

I think everyone's opinion on "rice" is different. why can't we just agree to disagree? as long as your car makes YOU happy. thats all that really matters.

can i get a jdm front end conversion for less than $1500?

can i get a jdm front end conversion for less than $1500?

I would try eBay, but there is a guy here in Jacksonville that has them. I don't have his number any more, but you can get it from Ben at "ESC" aka "Bens Automotive" Just tell him Ray with the silver Integra sent you. The guy has a container on Piney Green full of JDM parts.

Back on topic. Um, JDM parts rock... Who cares about Rice. (Unless it's taco rice and cheese)
