RICE BOY-noun-1. A chink (asian guy or gal) who drives only japanese cars, mostly
Hondas. "Rice" is used in rice boy because a chinks (asians) main meal is almost
always accompanied with rice, so the term "rice boy" definitely is racist, sorry to
say. 2. A chink who spends thousands of dollars upgrading the performance of his
shity civic or accord, only to see that if he had spent that money plus the money
he spent on buying the car on another car, he could probably have a bought a BMW or
something better than a jap car. 3. A chink who is tasteless, puts purple bulbs
in his head lights, puts asian character stickers that no one in this country can
read all over the car, puts oversized spoilers to give the illusion that the car is
fast, but the idiot doesn't know that spoilers are there to create downforce on a
fast car, on that shity car a spoiler only adds weight and air force drag, slowing
the vehicle down, exactly opposite what the chink would want, I presume. 3. A
chink who makes his car loud by spending thousands of dollars on headers and
exhaust flows, but whose car does not accelerate faster than a Taurus. 4. A chink
who looks at you at stoplight from his car with a "hey I am cool,look at my 18"
wheels and my low car, that is so low it is totally impractical" with a look that
says "I wanted an M3, a 911, an F355, but cannot afford it, but I want to give the
impression that I can by putting all this shit on my intended for commuting
disposable jap car"

Rice boys are those individuals who slap on big mufflers, two hundred
stickers, pin striping and shiny wheels and think that it turns their
import FWD car into a drag machine. Those that think that the big
"functional" wing on the back of their Civic helps them leave
stoplights faster.
Please note, those that add turbo kits, nitrous shots and drag slicks
to their cars are not, technically, rice boys but those are so few and
far between...

A rice boy is someone who likes to modify their import car, namely
Hondas. They like their cars to look sporty and original, and to some
they can be quite stylized.
It can be a racist term, as you can tell from some of the idiotic
responses to your post. Some people get so jealous of these cars that
they waste their time ranting and raving about how stupid it is to
"rice out" a car. They make it their lifes mission to bark and yelp
about "ricers" on this ng or even create anti - rice boy web pages.
Now, the only reason for such aggressiveness towards a rice boy can
only be rooted in jealousy. I'm sure that an anti - ricer could write
paragraphs upon paragraphs trying to defend their reasons for hating
ricers with such a perverse intensity, but waaaaaay down deep inside
their all just jealous, mincing nitwits. Why else would they bash
someone else's personal tastes? Why should they care if ricers don'f
follow their own personal concepts of modifying and improving a car?
Most lurkers, trolls, etc. here will assuredly assault my points with
Hearty Vigor and Witty Retorts. But "Ricing" a car is a HOBBY. Ricing
is part of the car world. People do it because they *enjoy* it.
Bashing a ricer is like a bow hunter making fun of a fisherman. Ever
hear of that? Of course not! Its too bad more car enthusiasts can't
show more mutual respect for one another. A car should be admired and
respected for the amount of love, care, and time put into it rather
than what pleases us aesthetically and personally.
Oh, and before I get called a rice boy, I drive a *completely stock*
98 Prelude.

Actually, I simply don't like the way some people lower their cars, put
big loud mufflers that give them an extra 2hp, put stickers all over
them, super low-pro tires, window tints so dark it's illegal, racing
harnesses (I saw some in a Paseo for chrissake), etc (neon optional -- I
think that varies from region to region as being either cool or
stupid). I feel like they have ruined what was a nice car.
It's exactly the same way people feel when there's a really nice empty
lot in their neighborhood and each day the drive by it they think of the
cool ass house that could be built there... until the day that someone
buys it and builds the crappiest looking apartments you've ever seen.
I don't feel the need to actively bash them for it without the subject
first being brought up by someone else (yes, I'm addressing the issue
now, but only in response.)
I also refuse to use the term. Why? Because, no matter what you think,
IT IS A FUCKING RACIST TERM. I don't care who you are, using that term
displays a wholesale lack of dignity.
Would you call the vehicle styling favored by the Latinos in southern
california "Taco'd out" or "Frijole-mobiles?" How about the lowered
mini-pickups or mustangs that many Blacks drove several years back, what
did you call them? I certainly hope it wasn't a "Watermelon Truck" or
the like. I'm sure some people used those terms, but I hope that the
people who take part in this forum (not the trolls who serve us no
purpose, but the ones who are here because of a genuine interest in
Hondas) have more sense and common decency than that.
As far as wanting to wear the moniker of "Rice Boy" with pride, just
because some idiot trolls come through daily and call you that is
stupid. If you were a Latino and some idiot called you a "Spick" almost
daily, what would you do? You wouldn't say "That's right" and then put
it on your license plate.

if you say so... i'd rather not USE it for that reason, but when i
looked at the original rice boy homepage (can't remember the url) and
the guy mentioned that it's because of the origin of the country of the
cars, and that many of the people that do this aren't Asian, it made me
look around a bit... berkeley is (what) 35-45% Asian, but about half the
cars i see with this unique twist to them are driven by a white girl (or
guy)... now, i don't go around saying fuck all the time either even
though it has a harmless and legitimate derivation, and i agree that
many of these terms are in poor taste... of course i've only ever seen
two posts in response to people saying "Jap"...

Nuh uh. Modifying the car for better performance is *not* ricing-out. Only
modifying the car to *look* like it has better performance qualifies as
riceage. If it's stock on the outside but has a turbo, high-flow exhaust,
or NOS inside, that not ricing, that's *cool*.

Take it easy... the term 'rice' refers to the car (or more like
how one's been, er, 'modified'), not people. I wouldn't imagine
calling someone chink, spick or nigger but I have no problems
whatsoever using term 'rice' or 'rice boy'; it isn't personal
nor has it anything to do with the ethnic background of a person
(or the vehicle make/model even, anymore).
Time to switch to decaf, you're getting a bit overanxious with
all this PC crap...

And I will again throw in my agreement with another poster in this
thread: Putting on a nitrous kit, new chip, turbocharger, intake, full
exhaust system (not just the muffler) is not being a riceboy. You are
improving your performance, more power to you. Pun intended.
However: resonator tips, Neuspeed/Nospeed/No Fear/Some Fear/Greddy
stickers over everything (especially if you haven't actually installed
the product) and 3 foot wings are not performance items. I am
especially amused at 1" diameter exhaust systems leading up to a
muffler with a 4" exhaust. Guys, the restriction is NOT only at the
end...
Ah, forget it. Dress your cars up as much as you like. Just remember
your dress up items don't make your car any faster. It's a humbling
thought. Good for you.

Not to be off topic, but racing harnesses are actually an excellent

Will ya'll get off the racist thing!?
Any Honda enthusiast that uses the term "riceboy" is obviously talking about
any person that makes his car look real mean and fast while not giving a
damn about it's actual performance. It has nothing to do with race.
To whoever started the race thing... get a life. You know what it means...
it's not meant to be racist... quit starting arguments!

True, on both counts. Nowadays there are very good single-buckle
(ie. shoulder and lap belt of the same side are permanently
attached to each side of the buckle) belts that are easy to use
and comfortable compared to rotary and pin/hook buckles. Perfect
for street-driven cars even though they're no match to good
rotary 3" 5-pointers in racing.

At http://www.ompusa.com/images/429.jpg , for example. These
'single bucle' -type harnesses use a standard seatbelt buckle
and shoulder belts are attached to the lap belts.
FIA-approved racing harnesses have a rotary buckle in one of
the lap belts, to which all other belts attach to - they're
a pain in the ass on the street, it takes about thirty seconds
to get all the belts attached to the buckle and tightened
properly. I bought my first single buckle harness last winter
and as far as having one in a street-driven car, I'm *NOT*
going back to rotary buckle.
Anyway, when you have a full harness in your daily driver
you'll finally find out why IR remote controls are available
to CD-players; you're glued to your seat and in most cases
you can't touch the dash without opening the buckle... ;-)

Rice just means that most of the cars come from Japan, which
does in fact eats a lot of rice collectively. Thus the
term "Rice Burners" for Japanese automobiles. I don't
think the term "Rice" has any racially-derogatory meaning
behind it.
> Besides, who else do you see with riceboy cars?
Blacks, latinos, and not a few white people...
A friend of mine had a probe GT with Tokico shocks,
Eibach springs, Remus exhaust, K&N filter charger,
and went through quite a few sets of "hot" rims.
And he is about as white as anyone can be.
