Define ricer or rice burner

Vertigo101

Once you go Subaru nothing else is the same
tampering. The fart can is a tell tail sign of a rice burner. They also have ungodly (ugly as hell) body kits put on them. Many riceburners include an oversized spoiler that is more likely to slow the car down and reduce gas mpg then do anything positive. The spoiler is most commonly seen on front wheel drive ricer burners where they are 145% useless. Often times they have expensive sound equipment (subs) in them rather sprawled out in a useless fashion. The engine of a rice burner is almost always an econobox 4banger or 6cylinder that has a smaller displacement than a two litre bottle of coke. These cars are so low to the ground they get hung up on pebbles and the speed bump is their nemesis. Tuner cars are often confused with rice burners. The main difference is tuner cars go fast, are built with purpose and they are built by mechanics with actual knowledge of their machine. A Skyline is not a riceburner and is classified as a tuner until some idiot rices it out. Civics, Corollas, Integras, and Delsols are the most common ricemobiles. The driver of a rice burner is ALWAYS a douche and a LOVING idiot. It should be noted that this term can also be applied to Japanese cars in general under a different definition.

 
I went to google and typed define ricer or rice burner

For further reference, my Grand Am probably qualifies as ricey, since I painted the interior "Racing Yellow" & black and have many brand name vinyle stickers all over the front fenders and windows. I have been peeling them off as the snow ruins them, but a lot of them are still there. I was more trying to mimic the Tuner look rather than the Ricer look and kinda went astray a little... At least it doesn't sound like an angry honey bee farting in to a trash can. I kept the stock dual exhaust and the stock body kit because, well we live in MAINE, duh. I tried not to do anything particularly cheap looking, but modding a Grand Am was probably my first mis-step. FYI, an aluminum flywheel in a 4 banger with no turbo does not get you anything but a loss of low end torque, lol. Also Polyurethane motor mounts are a horible idea for a daily driver.

 
Our cars walk a fine line between tuner and ricer. One part can be the tipping point in either direction. Sti hood scoop on an obs? Rice. Sti hood scoop on forester xt? Good stuff! Wicked loud bov on stock rex, probably rice. Wicked loud bov on 500hp sti? Tuner. I could go on all day, but I'll not beat the dead horse

So if it makes your car look faster then it really is, it's rice. If it makes your car faster, it is not rice.
