I'll have some chiken with that RICE! Thank you.

[Sweeney921]

rice alert!!!

check out how small the disc brakes are!

[TheOne]

the guy kind of forgot the big fart cans:(, he didn't forget the stickers though.

on another note......i wouldn't mind havin lambo doors on my 240sx:).

[cuntukimushroom]

you can get lambo doors like that for 850 pounds a pair

What do you mean?? Those are just the stock doors with the lambo system.


check out how small the disc brakes are

The rims are like 19" and that's why the brakes look small. Those are the stock brakes obviously... What kind of brakes would you expect on a 190HP car?? Seriously?? I'm sure they're more than enough for that car.



I don't like the stickers, tail light and fog lamps (They're probably from wal-mart)

The head lights look pretty cool... And I also like the doors.

[Spastik_Roach]

For gods sake guys, be reasonable. I think this isn't anywhere near rice. Sure its got a couple of stickers, and some gawdy tail lights, but I think it looks quite classy, just needs to be lowered a bit.

Rice isn't every Japanese car with a Sticker and aftermarket rims.

[Sweeney921]

but it's also got lambo doors, new headlights, some lame taillight design, and add on xenon headlights. now if we knew performance figues, it would make/break it's riceness.

[Spastik_Roach]

Tell me, WHAT is wrong with Lambo Doors! I think they add alot of style to a car! I mentioned the Tailights, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with new headlights, I can't believe anyone would consider those new headlights ricey. I bet if you saw them on a Ferrari Enzo you would love them.

Come on guys, be bloody reasonable, different design of headlights? OMG SO RICEY.

Tru... theres nothing wrong wit dat car... i dont think its dat ricey... i really dig the lambo doors tho... dats awesome! :cool:

When will Americans learn?

Vast alloy wheels will in no way improve the performance of your car!
:rolleyes:

[SPHFerrari]

when will YOU learn. not everything on a car is meant to enhance performance. looks count for as much as performance to some people. now, if they significantly hurt the performance, then i have a prob with them.

how is an add on xenon system ricey? who cares if its added on, and wats wrong with xenon lights? do you hate the lamborhgini gallardo cuz it has xenon lights?

the tail lights are a bit funky, but not too bad, its not like theyre silver.

the doors are awesome. and look at the interior, can you realy say that thats ricey?

i think this car was well done and is no-where near rice.

[escort mexico]

seriously guys, is a lamborghini a ricer?, after all, it has that style of doors.

as for the xenon lights, the lights on my car are shocking, more like candles in jam jars than real lights. if they made a conversion kit i would change them over. just because someone is taking into account their safety. as for big wheels, Coventry - do you prefer hubcaps to some nice alloys? because when did the owner of this car actually say that the wheels actually inproved the performance?

same goes for the picture - holy shit!! a lamborghini with fancy doors and stickers, RICE ALERT

HOWEVER - i am inclined to agree about those tail lights, WHAT?????

I have to agree with you

I have to agree with you

i would as well, but you can't say you don't prefer to have some nice wheels over crappy old hubcaps

My point is that when ever I see an American car, which hasn't been 'riced', it is at least accompanied by a vugar set of 20" + chome wheels, and some ICE. That seems to be the effective limit of most Americans "tuning" abilities.
Be it a Honda Civic or a Porsche 911.


*Yes, yes I know its not all Americans...

i would have to agree about the bad chrome rims, i have only seen about 3 designs...EVER that actually improve a car's looks. for sure, they are fully sick bro, but they still look crap. the whole point of having mags in the first place was not only for cosmetics, but to also reduce weight as well as having cooling properties for the brakes.

Wheels only save weight up to a point, once you start heading to 20" the savings aren't as significant.
I doubt any of the people who have these wheels have troubled them enough to even start thinking about extra cooling

[Sweeney921]

i think that if someone puts extra weight on a car just for looks, and doesn't do anything under the hood, then their car is rice. the lambo doors will only add weight, cuz hydraulics have to be installed. that would mean that the doors are rice, at least by my standards.

as for rims, you can actually get rims for $5 a piece in wal-mart..........they're total pieces of shit and i see them everywhere

[Spastik_Roach]

You guys miss the point! This person, obviously has no real interest in fun driving, or else they would've spent their dough on a RSX Type R! These people, want a great looking, comfortable car to be proud of, and thats what they've got! All of us might like fun cars, but not everyone does!

[Sweeney921]

my only real problem with the car is the lambo doors. they add weight, make it much harder to get in/out, etc. they're useless.

:rolleyes:

On the other hand, they can, if done right, make it look cool.

[SPHFerrari]

i no this is a lil old but it drives me insane. WHEN DID THEY EVER SAY THAT RIMS IMPROVED THEIR PERFORMANCE??? only idiots, and people who put on expensive, well engineered racing rims hope to get better performance b/c of their rims. end of discussion.

[Egg Nog]

Those are hubcaps, not rims. A rim is actually an entire wheel made of metal wheras a hubcap is just an asthetic wheel cover made of plastic.

I'm sure that they're less than enough for this car, because of the massive added rolling weight of chromed 19" rims. Wheels like these make a huge difference in acceleration and braking times.

In the change from stock wheels to those wheels there shouldn't be a difference in weight higher than a kid's weight. It's not like you added 500lbs to the car.

I know mine are bigger and heavier for a fact but I get the same response from the car when accelerating and when braking... Maybe a slight difference but not enough to need some new brakes.

This is a common misconception.

Keep in mind that I said rolling weight, which is the big difference. Added mass to any of the moving parts will have a greater effect than anything else, especially the direct wheel weight on the brakes. If you want a very extreme, exaggerated example: Having a 160lb friend would have less of a performance draw on your civic than if each of it's valves weighed 10 pounds more.

On your car, i'm not surprised that you can't notice much/any difference. It's a very different case when the wheels are this much larger than stock, and chrome wheels tend to be much heavier.

[TheOne]

some ppl still don't understand.........ppl don't always go for performance, but for the LOOKS, they DON'T care if such and such thing add weight, as long as it looks better, its ok. the lambo doors shouldn't be a lot heavier than normal(just a bit heavier), since it uses almost the same things as the normal doors, just in another way. ive seen many cars winning at auto shows(imports and domestics) just because of their looks, not for performance.
