Listen up riceboys! "Racing" stripes go on the driver's side...
slowcarfasterbike
Integra RS, nicely lowered, too many stickers, nice wheels and the
ubiquitous fog lamps glowing even though it had been daylight for
several hours already...
What ruined the nice car, though, was the twin racing stripes going
the length of the car over the Passenger side. Duh. Obviously this
guy, and many, many others don't know that the stripes were originally
painted on race cars during the days when Right hand and left hand
drive cars competed against each other. The stripes were painted on
the drivers side so that corner workers and ambulance crews could
locate the driver quickly in the event of an accident.
If you are going to go to the trouble to stripe your car, at least do
it correctly.
p.s. I assume this guy wasn't trying to emulate a Japanese Honda,
which would correctly have the stripes going down the right hand
(drivers) side of the vehicle. That's the only other possibility.

Ok, but is this limited to rice cars, as implied by your subject? How about
Dodge cars, with the stripes down the middle? I think we can all agree that
nowadays, racing stripes (at least those on street-driven cars) are for
appearance purposes.

Who gives a fuck if they have racing stripes on the car or on either side
for that matter. I was at a VW show this last weekend and saw 3 VW's with
to many stickers and racing stripes over the Passenger side of the car.
Personally I don't care for them and why put stickers on you car if you
don't even have the parts!!! SuperSprint sticker with a Monza tip? ABT
sticker without any ABT mods to it....basically all i'm saying is that some
of the VW guys do it to...so even as much as i hate rice boys.....VW people
do it too...just my $.02

I saw a VW this weekend with three stripes that started on the
passenger door and went straight up and along the wing mirror... and
nowhere else. I guess he REALLY wanted the stripe over on one side.
An interesting note, and maybe someone out there can confirm this:
I originally heard that the stripe is on the driver side for rally
races. When sliding your car through a curve, you simply line the
stripe up with whatever direction you eventually want the car to go,
and when your sideways momentum is exhausted, you already have the car
pointed perfectly. Having the stipe lined up with the driver would
work, while having it lined up with the passenger would be well...
counterproductive.
Any thoughts as to why this would or wouldn't fly would be most
appreciated. I try not to get my car moving in directions that it's
not pointing. Especially straight lines that it's not pointing.

is pointing. When you throw the car around a corner, your nose is pointing
towards the inside of the turn but the car is moving sideways. AFAIK, no
modern rally car has racing stripes down the driver's side.
What's important is where your wheels are pointing and rally drivers do tape
a red [or some other bright color] stripe on the center of their steering
wheel so they always know where their wheels are pointing.

racing stripes, the stickers, the lowered cars. Its when it

do nothing but give their car some looks, yet they think it

Precisely. I never intended to post the Riceboy comment directed at
drivers of Japanese cars. It was purely a derogatory remark about the
crap, especially the younger and most stupid drivers of all marques,
that gets piled onto these cars.
I saw enough of this rice-boy crap at Waterfest. 2.0L Golf GL's with
Dual Upturned tips... some VW Passat with 17" wheels, 40 profile
tires that stuck outside of the wheel-wells. etc. etc.
Anyway, my point (besides the Riceboy comment) was the proper
placement of racing stripes. Dodge has historically had the stripes
down the middle. Right hand drive cars get them on the right, and
everyone else gets them on the left.

Curb feelers are a parking aid from back in the way back, designed to do
exactly what their name implies--signal when you were the correct
distance away from the curb. The sort of look like a cross between a
radio antenna and a doorstop; typically, there are two of these arranged
in a Vee sticking out and down from both the front and rear fenders.

I know most VW owners aren't much into stickers and decals on their cars,

Do these already exist? Can someone design them easily? I tried, but the

Uhh, yeah. That's another stupid thing I've seen. Tricked out Mini-Vans
with the body paneling and paint. I guess these guys are feeling left
out becuase they had to give up their Civic for a mini-van. That doesn't
stop 'em though. Coffee can muffler and the requisite fog lights,
stickers, and rims. I'm just waiting for NOS'ed out mini-van.

in my 73 Super Beetle. I knew he was toying with me while we were moving,
but when we stopped at a light I figured it was time to wave goodbye to his
taillights. What a shock when the light turned green and my little Beetle
lurched off the line leaving the 911 behind. The poor fool stalled it out.
I was LMAO for the next 5 miles.

Not sure if it's still on the road but at one point there was a
low-30's guy who had a grey Mazda 4wd MPV.. Thing looked in excellent
condition, had a decent (not booming) stereo, some suspension tweaks,
nice wheels with decent aspect tires.. and a turbocharger! It still
was not blazingly fast but it was down around the low/mid 7's to 60
which, for a mini-van, is quite pleasant. Evidently the turbo did
give the beast more heat than it could handle but he was working on
it. Haven't seen it for about 2 years now.

At NED, on a 75 degree Saturday afternoon, I made 2 passes with my new
underdrive pulley on. Boost was 27 lbs. The tires spun (2.194 60') to a
13.475 @ 102.29 mph. On the second pass the tires spun less (2.025) and
gave up a 13.184 @ 102.57 mph.
The minivan has been on the back burner, as my 12 second Acclaim has
taken up my racing time, but the van WILL run 12's in 1998!

ago, and had to go through about 500 messages (not a typo!) before someone
explained what I rice boy/car was.
So, a rice boy is a guy (don't mean to be sexist, but I have yet to see a
rice girl) driving a rice car.
A rice car is a car that has stickers, huge exhaust tips, crazy stickers
all over it, ultra low profile tire on huge chrome wheels (all the better
to show off the puny drums), blacked windows, clear or blacked out lamps,
blaring boombox, "fog" lamps in all colors of the rainbow, etc., or any of
the above combinations. Typically, the car is an Accord, Civic, or
Integra, driven by "ching-chong" (far eastern person), who, in all
probabilty has bleached his hair, or the few strands left on the top of
his head. Generally wearing baggy preppy clothes (DKNY, PE, Polo, CK, blah
blah blah).

Yeah, but if I rice out my VW, am I a riceboy? It doesn't make much sense.
Make 'em brat-boys, or sausage-boys. If you see that V6 Mustang, call it a
corn-boy or something. Rice boys for Japanese cars only. ;) I'd also like
to add that the riced-out Civics aren't nearly as bad as people who take a
BMW, add a wing and some new rims, and stick on the ///M3 badge. Or, even
worse. Somebody puts a bunch of stickers on their Bimmer -arrrrggghhh!

Not just Japanese cars, it could be anything. They are the primary
victims of rice boys though.

Pretty close - if you Infoseek Rice+Boy, you should end up
at a side dedicated to Rice Boys on the first or second page of "hits".
This is where I first saw the definition. You're very very close. The
"Rice"
part is due to the fact that this trend was first noticed on the Japanese
cars, but like any good virus, now "adorns" more than just the Japanese
imports. Any car that has the mentioned "accessories" on it qualifies,
whether Japanese, German, American or Swedish (Haven't seen that
yet, but I'm sure there's one somewhere).
Extra rice points for big stickers, and so low they scrape on
speed bumps, less Rice -type if they have a genuine rollbar and 4/5/6-point
belts and or run under 15-secs in the 1/4mi.
Then here's me with my Chinese last name driving a Japanese car.
At least the car is RICE and no BOY (only 15" wheels and I can clear
grasshoppers AND run faster than 15-secs in the 1/4). And no Rice Boys on
my site either (Yet, perhaps in a "What NOT to do section?" :-).
And Siddiq, I have seen three female "Rice pilots".

Much to the chagrin of those of us who actually have spent time keeping
our integras looking nice.. :) I've got clear corners and custom wheels
(14's tho :) and NORMAL exhuast and all.. I can at least understand why
people would want to lower their cars (actually I'd love to have it
lowered a bit) and some suspension mods.. even clear taillights (even
though they're ugly).. but what is going ON in people's minds when they
put huge advertisements all over their cars? Don't they realize how ugly
it is? I mean, honestly... we can all understand trying to make our cars
look cool and perform extremely well, but what does ANYBODY get out of
ugly stickers?

erict...@earthling.net
don't appreciate that "ching-chong" shit.
A riceboy is a person - regardless of race or color - who dresses up his car
- regardless of make or model - to look fast [with the stuff Siddiq
mentioned] when the car is anything but fast. Very common examples are riced
out Civic DX's with Folgers exhaust tips, huge rear wings, 18" rims with
low-pro rubber, 1" ground clearance ground effects kits, stickers, hood pins,
etc, when they still only have 90 hp under the hood. Most of the riceboys are
Asian - since the movement apparently started [in the US, anyway] in the
SoCal region - but it has spread like an infection all across the US. Most of
the riceboys in my neck of the woods are Latinos or white Americans, and I
have seen a lot of riced up Neons as well. So it has nothing to do with race.
Or baggy clothing, tho most riceboys are of the younger [high school] set.
That's the consensus of what a riceboy is. I like to add something else to
it, but others may not agree. To me, a riceboy is also a person who crosses
the boundary of good taste. If a person has an SVT Cobra or a Ferrari but is
dumb enough to do something stupid to it - like putting Type-R stickers
[don't be shocked, it has happened], or UFO neon lights under the car - then
he, too, is a riceboy. This contradicts the above since, in this case, the
ricecar is fast, too.

Well dude,
If you get your Minivan to do that, I will be impressed. We can't call
it stupid if it runs fast. We had a guy here who blueprinted and
balanced some huge GM big block and turbo/NOS'ed it and stuck the damn
thing in his suburban with a tricky tranny. The damn thing hauls ass.
You can imagine the dropped jaws this guy manufactures. I couldn't
believe it. It is loud as hell though.

"Siddiq's" use of such a derogatory term, more than anything, demonstrates a
prevalence towards ignorance and utter lack of worldliness. Ironically,
the latter is punctuated by an even more pathetic thought that he could be a
student in some institution of higher learning.

Too bad most VW owners who would put any kind of sticker on their care are
just as lame. Maybe someone should sell a kit with the Anti-Honda
sticker, AND those stupid 'phantom' headlight covers that look like shit.
No offense, but most of the VW owners I know *personally* are assholes.
Although, I suppose they're better than major riceboys. I don't happen to
know any real riceboys personally.

You think that's bad.. I saw literally the ugliest car I have ever seen,
yesterday. It was a civic. New style. COMPLETELY BLACK (spray tint
stuff) taillights, on the trunk part. The outer parts (brake and
turnsignal) were untouched. RED mudflaps. yes, red. tinting strips
across the top of the back AND front windows. Said civic in weird
lettering or something. They were some dark magenta color that matched
NOTHING on the car -- the color made me want to puke! It was SO ugly!
Ugly wheels. Ion crystal headlights. jesus christ. It's impossible to
explain how ugly this car was, but the red mudflaps (the kind that stick
out) (ON ALL 4 WHEELS!) is a good start.

on Storrow Drive. Goes like this:

stickers in some silly font on every side of the car. Huge wing, with
WINGLETTES, mismatched in color. VTEC stickers as well. Cheap nose bra,
huge wheels but no lowering (this looks even worse than huge wheels and
lowering), cheap Wal-Mart yellow driving lights. Cheap do-it-yourself
tint, complete with bubbles. This car amuses me to no end. I usually
pull up on him, let him take a look at me, and then pass him hard in VTEC.
He never even tries to keep up. He must know his car is bullshit.

Actualy, we made it ourself... got to an art craft store, got some of

The vans here in philly have about 35 plastic bubble windows in them , as
well at all this chrome tape on the fenders. It looks so corny. The car
most people around here seem to rice out is ford tempo,cutlas, and
corrolas.
I got to take a picture of this tempo, it is painted bright purple, has
fake 5 spoke hubcaps(tacky platic chrome ones) , a naked chic antena,a
window decals thats says something like 'nobodys bitch',Scratched purple
tint,Blackouts on all the lights, strobes(used to have neons), cut
springs,foglights, a chain steering wheel , plastic chrome tape on all
the wheel wells , an audiovoxx sterio with audio vox amp, and to top it
off it rides on pep boys special tires.

Too true, as a fellow VW owner, I can only hope the numbers will be

see alot, I mean ALOT of rice cars there, but, there were also some very
nice Japanese cars as well. They didn't have 50 stickers all over the car,
no chrome wheels, no huge exhaust tips, etc. What they did have though was
some engine and suspension work to make the car more fun to drive, and
personally, I think that's whats it's all about. Just my opinion.

with a "handle" that sits 16 inches off the trunk. every sticker known to
man. a home made tint, a picture of a chic in a bikini and a fake $100 bill
hangin off the rearview mirror. a cheap exhaust tip. five spoke hubcaps.
and he drives it around like he is the shit in the coolest car on the
planet. i have tried to rip the "handle"off but he screwed it on too good.
everyone one i know makes fun of his car.

"pimped out" Honda i will ever like. its a 98 civic, nice tint lowered
perfectly, nice stereo system, has a few engine modifications. has stickers
but not that many, like he took the Honda and civic badges off the back and
put a hondasport sticker in their place and there is the Japanese symbol for
hondasport on the windshield. the only bad thing that i dont like is the
8" exhaust tip and a muffler that makes it sound like a go kart.

oh yeah.. I hate chrome wheels too :) Anyway, even if you DON'T fix up
your engine for lack of money, there's nothing wrong with putting large
wheels on, lowering your car, and putting all kinds of suspension mods on
to make it handle nice. Hell, even the weakest civic can probably get
over 100mph (?) and it sure as hell could use the suspension mods at that
speed :)
you can drive most cars fast, so I don't think tricking out the suspension
should be counted as riceyness.. nobody needs big stickers, flashy chrome
wheels (well, they look OK on SOME cars) or folgers exhaust.
don't forget ugly ground effects.

Yeah.. I can't imagine that many VW owners would be like that. I really
like VW's (especially corrados :) but I have a friend who has a jetta that
can't stop talking about how his car is the best car in the world (it's
kind of a crappy one with wheel covers, etc.. :)
I love my integra, and some might consider it to be riced-up, with red A
badges front and back, and clear corners and custom wheels.. but the
wheels are only 14"s, and I got the clear corners and red A badges
because they look AWESOME on a black car. It's a 91, I'm not fooling
anyone. I suppose if I had type R badges, that would be different..
But in general, I think the riceboy term is too liberally used. My car's
plenty fast for me, I love it. I'd like a faster one, but.. oh well. I'd
lower it an inch and a half maybe, and get 17" wheels and sway bars if I
had more money.. and I very well might. But no matter how rich I get, I'd
never put ugly stickers all over. I think being a riceboy mostly has to
do with lack of taste. I don't care if your car is a fucking speed demon,
that doens't mean you need japanese letters and advertisements plastered
all over your car. I'd like a nice new black GSR with the jackson racing
supercharger kit and red badges but no advertisements. Companys pay money
for those rolling billboards that advertise their products -- why do it
for free?

I can't find the URL, but there's a guy who took his 2.5l Turbo Caravan
and last i remember he has it doing 13.60's. Yowza.
I have a friend who's got a lowered maroon Caravan with chrome wheels,
limo tint, and of course headlight covers and a multi-thousand watt
system in it (gotta do *something* with all that cargo space!).
It actually isn't half bad, you know?
Altho, personally I like the Villager more than the Caravan.
Feels better.
And it also looks like a 300ZXTT engine will fit right in there!

Indeed, Rice-ism is knows no racial or automotive boundaries;
it's a frame of mind.
Ever see a riced-out Intrepid? (shudder) I haven't, but I read
Sport Compact Car sometimes and I see Rice Paraphernalia in the
NOPI catalog for Intrepids. Ugly grab-handle wings, carbon fiber
dash trim.... granted, a nice set of 7-spoke 17" wheels wrapped
in 245/45 rubber would look nice on a *mildly* lowered LH, say
maybe an inch of lowering at most, but I'd leave the rest alone,
except of course for putting a couple turbos on that 3.3!
(Probably not enough room to boost a 3.5....)

Girls have better taste. :-/
I admit, I HAVE BAD TASTE!!! I drive a rusty old Ford that sits on
its bump-stops and has Beavis and Butthead pissing on a Chevy logo
on the back window and has a rubber chicken hanging in the back and
it has Hurst and Mallory stickers in the rear side windows and it's
real loud and the valve lifters are OBNOXIOUSLY loud (gotta fix that!)
and the right front fender flaps a bit and the exhaust scrapes on
potholes and the dog-dish hubcaps are dirty and I have an old Sen.
(or is it Rep.?) Hoke bumper sticker with the letters switched so
it says HOEK (a la Ren & Stimpy) and... well I took the fuzzy skull
out, but MAN.... at least I'm not one of them there Rice-Boys! :-)

The most important thing - It still only makes 85hp, maybe less
because of ill-concieved "upgrades"!!

Yes, it's also too bad that Ford decided not too pursue the SHOstar
Windstar with a SHO engine concept that they displayed a couple years
back. Of course, the ultimate would probably be the Renault Espace
F1(?), which was essentially a minivan body on top of their Formula One
chassis, including the F1 V-10...
