An oldy but a goody.

[bwhinnen]

You know the sad thing, the extra $20K probably wouldn't see it anywhere near the 10sec mark...

[Melz]

hahahaha... i like it, never seen that before. I'm waiting for a comparison of chrome and neons though

I can see one going on a certain "RICED" red Falcon.....

Mate, you would have to disguise yourself in makeup and dress if in your world a WRX front bar is as good as owning a WRX.

I guess its cheaper than a WRX

Jeez Rollin sure got you hot under the collar!

He sure did, and his continual mouthing off will make it worse, and the end result does often offend!

Crikey, I dont think even I was that stupid and naieve when I was his age.

[Ryan]

lol thats all quite true actually.

God I hate ricers, not really the cars but the tools that drive them.

Had some tosser in a stock Hyundai Accent try and give our worked VL V8 Calais a run the day we got it.


There are some very tastefull Japanese cars I would love to have but what I hate is the morons who think their stock Pulsar with spinners, 5 inch exhaust and 10 gauges can beat worked V8s.

[MITCHAY]

It's just as funny as some people with V8s reckon they can flog everything. I see many V8 owners get their ИИИИ handed to them by imports. Just remember there are cars which are blinged up to hell but are still fast.

Ah but ricers nearly always win the "longest distance travelled on a litre of petrol" competition.......

[Gammaboy]

By all means bag ricers but not all four cylinder FWDs are slow (and I hate how Honda's name is dragged through the mud by them).

[GTS_300_Coupe]

Yeah, actually I dont mind Honda they make some pretty decent cars and they do hold the record for most powerful production NA 4 cylinder in the world.
Honda S2000 makes 250hp from a 2.0 litre 4cyl. Pretty impressive stuff.

Only problem is all these ricer fanboys destroying their image.

I havent seen it before, funny read

Ricers: Both gauges on a normally aspirated car

I saw an old stock civic last week that had about 6 or 7 gauges all different colours in it, thought that was a crack up till i saw the scissor doors..
Its just one of those things you wish you had a camera for.

I love that one...

[FAT071]

Funny read loved it, its all true to.
Mick

[Xploded]

Never seen that before, very good read was quite funny he he ....

[Tony xa]

Funny read .
Can I ask a stupid question why is it that you all seem to hate rice or boyracer cars .
Is it the cars themselfs or the people that usauly own them .
One thing I will say about boyracer cars is that a 10sec boyracer is better behaved on the street than a 10 sec muscle car and a 10sec boyracer can be used every day .
I guess I have trouble with bagging boyracer cars because I like all loved cars and My age sits right in between both muscle and boyracer .
Still good read like to see the other side to

I love boyracer cars more than domestics.
These include S2000, WRX, Evo, 3000GT, Supra, Skyline, FTO, RX7, VR-4, 240sx, 200sx, 300zx, etc.
However I hate standard lancers, mazdas, basically any standard 4 banger thats all show and no go.

Fair enough .
I have found that alot of people right them off and was just wondering if it was in friendy rivalry or plain and simply because people just hate them .
