Riceboy, a.k.a. Ricer: Definitions vary widely. Ask a die-hard domestic iron fan, and it's any driver of an Asian import. But as used here, the term refers to those curious creatures who subscribe to an unusual belief system which holds the following to be true:
1) A 5-inch exhaust tip can give you 20 HP.
2) Fictitious racing team stickers are worth 10 HP each. Performance part vendor stickers are worth 5 HP each, whether or not you actually have the vendor's parts on the car. Type "R" stickers are worth 15 HP and can go on any car.
3) Any rim smaller than 18" is lame..Bigger rims are better and make you faster, despite what those crazy physics laws say. And it doesn't matter if your speedometer is now off by 20% as long as you look good.
4)The Fast and the Furious is not fiction it's a documentary. Everything in it is true, and it's the greatest movie ever made.
5)You must put a rear wing on everything. It must be approximately the same height as the car's roof. Those people that laugh at you for putting a wing on a FWD car are just jealous.
6) Your body kit and wing have no weight of their own. Those people who tell you that any performance increases you have managed to make are negated by the 200 lbs. of fiberglass you have hanging off the car are just jealous.
7) Two windshield wipers which clear the entire windshield and lay neatly out of the way when not needed are inferior to one big brightly-colored wiper which clears only the middle of the windshield and sits in the middle blocking your vision when not needed.
8 ) There is SO such a thing as a Civic GT-R!
9) Your stereo should cost at least as much as the value of your car, and if you can hear that ambulance behind you trying to get by, your stereo is not loud enough.
10) You must always drive with your seat leaned as far back as possible. After all, you're such a bad-ass gangsta you never know when some hata will take a shot at you, especially when cruising around the 'burbs.
11) You can call your car "JDM" if you go buy some amber trailer lights at Pep Boys and stick them on the fenders.
And last but not least,
12) Once you have done everything described above, your Civic LX will be the fastest car on Earth. You're MUCH faster than that non-Honda whatchamacallit sitting next to you at the light. He's obviously really slow, his exhaust is making a funny rumbling sound instead of buzzing like a fast car's should. You're faster, go for it.
