I Have A Personal Problem And Typing Like This Makes It Easier On Me

 

I don't think it's rice at all, when you are sponsored, stickers are going to eventually be put on the car. As for the kit, it has a large opening for the intercooler and for aerodynamic purposed.

 

No rice there.

 

I don't think it's ricey at all, I found people using this word WAY too often now, everytime they see a sticker or some aggressive kit, they'll just say RICE!
And that's a ING's kit and built for a purpose... stickers are from sponsors. Of coz I'm not gonna put that kit on my Z unless I have some serious mods to back it up, but I still think it's cool on that car, it's a show car also anywayz

 

Im sorry but that car is SO rice. I dont mind and I understand that the facia and kit serves a purpose...the stickers and 2F2F colors make it rice. I get it though...its for the mags.
And RICE sells.

 

The word "rice" is sooooo overused.

 

Reasons to leave VDC on when doing speed records...

 

THEN WHY DONT YOU GO BUY A CORVETTE, Seriously you own a JAPANESE car so when some of the most respected japanese tuners build their car and it looks a certain way, keep in mind they are not out to impress YOU. Everything on that car is functional regardless of the way it looks.

Also, I dont expect you do understand since you are most likely some ignorant domestic idiot who used to own a mustang or something like that.

 

"Ignorant domestic idiot"?

Right because all import boards are chock filled with intelligent discussion of automotive performance. A$$hole.

 

damn it is hard to read sentences where every first letter of a word is capitalized

 

At what point did I mention that "all import boards" were full of intelligent discussion. I was simply saying that his response to this thread was ignorant and typical of previous domestic owners. Are you trying to change the subject? Maybe you should clarify.

 

wow.. this thread went to $hit pretty fast...

if anyone knows anything about Options car magazine, all their cars look like that.. so complaining about it looking like a$$, well hell. its a magazine, its supposed to have crazy looking cars, who the hell would buy the magazine if it was like a Buick Regal on it ?? probably only ppl thinking its about retirement... u know.. Options.. (rim shot!)

personally, i think that car was 'in-line' of what the magazine typically shows-- so its not rice... ppl use that term all the time anyway and its becoming so multi-faceted in definition, you could call a stock G35 rice because put there's a Car and Driver Car of the year sticker on the side of the car..

the act of 'rice' labeling should be defined as Show no Go...

 

thread closed

take your fighting to the streets

 

you forgot to close it!

 

Man, the entire body is done... I know that they have to have video of this...

Now you can close the thread.

 

All I see is a bent up Celica. What Z. lol. But seriously. I hope the driver was okay.

 

Totally agree...

 

Some past "Domestics" I've owned

 

Hmmmm, everyone has their own definition of rice..... duh.....

If it looks like rice, smells like rice & tastes like rice....... it's rice 2 me....



Yeah, it was a fast *** show car (ugly though), too bad.....

 

enough with rice, it's just ignorance and is nothing more than the practice of generic labeling to make people feel like they are better than others.
If i'm going to spend the money to develop a car for a top speed run, and spend the money for the filming and resources you bet i'd put my company name all over the car, and make sure people see it!

On a good note Dai is fine.

A quote taken: (i found it on FA, and this was from another webiste...)

"One of the cars drawing the most attention from the crowd was a 2002 Nissan 350Z, which was specially built for ultra, high-speed competition. It was piloted by Daijiro Inada, publisher of OPTION magazine - a popular automotive publication in Japan. Inada has driven in the Silver State Classic Challenge before and on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

The Japanese top-speed driver has set a goal.

He plans to break the current top speed for a motor vehicle on a public highway listed in the Guiness Book of World Records. Inada has set a five-year program to improve his performance and eventually break the Guiness record. He plans to do that during a running of the Silver State Classic Challenge on State Route 318.

Race promoter Phil Henry told the Ely Times, Inada's first try at the record came close to being his last. Inada rolled the Nissan and didn't finish the race.

Henry said, after the accident, the driver told him he was traveling at 200 mph when he heard something go pop. Inada backed off the gas fearing something had broken. As the car slowed to about 150 mph, one of the tires suddenly shredded. That forced the speeding car off the paved highway. The car over-turned seven times.

Amazingly, Inada didn't appear to receive any serious injuries in the rollover - to compete, vehicles must be equipped with high-endurance tires, safety webs, seat belts and roll bars and the drivers wear fire-resistant body suits and crash helmets.

Nonetheless, race officials insisted Inada get a check up. His helicopter flew him to William Bee Ririe Hospital in Ely. Henry said the last time he saw the disappointed driver, he had left the hospital in a wheelchair and was shaking his fist at the heavens, vowing to return for next September's race.
