My car has no performance mods but an induction filter


If i had an induction filter it would be for better in take NOT LOOKS.

You put my "riced up" MR2 up against some piece of shit performance enhanced Escort XR2i or something and it will kick ass! Infact I have video/photo evidence of my speedo showing 155MPH, and thats in a "ricers" car, with little or no performance mods.


WTF!?!? thats like my pos 4 banger against a lawn more! DUH

QUOTE
And not to mention, compair it with the xbox, how many of you lot do performance mods (ram upgrade for example) and how many just make it look different?


looking diffrent is one thing but making you car look like an air plain with a HUGE ass wing or stickers for part that you dont have is just plain RICE!

QUOTE
You all have riced up xboxs, but thats a good thing cus they look damn good.


Ricer in denile! What the hall is th point of upgrading an xboxes ram if your just playing games on it? besideds thats a shity example. what about hard drives? EVERYONE i know that has a modded xbox upgraded there hdd! and i dont know many people that "rice" there unmodded xboxes and to top it all off FUCH SPELLCHEK (lol)

I HAVE COLD CATHODS UNDER MY SEATS AM I RICE? no thay just help light up the floor... with blue light.... shit that rice aint it? fuck (jk there for the subs)

Edit: RichMR2: rich b!tch

but getting a wing that sits higher than your roofline is not the way to do it. it just makes it look like you're driving a big shopping cart..

Dont take that the wrong way, Im not trying to turn this in to an argument (well no more than it is without anyones help) just pointing out that while people may think im a ricer, I do actually know alot about cars and the mechanics behind it, therefore I wouldnt class myself as rice.

Just read the rest of this thread actually, and do agree with alot of it. Not sure how many would consider my MR2 (it has the veilside kit on, although currently being customised to change how it looks a bit from the 10,000 v/s kitted mr2s in the uk) as rice, some might, but the deffinition of rice is making a car look faster than it is, my NA MR2 has done 155MPH, I dont think anything but putting fake afterburners on it would make it look faster than it is, even if it does have a bit jap style kit on it (hey its a jap car). In short, I may have a kit that makes some cars look very rice, but on the MR2 it does look good IMO, it suits the car.

Anyway, basically, I do agree with most comments but will always defend those who arent Rice, its not always about engine mods, some cars are perfectly fine stock.

(Tried to edit but said i couldnt after i wrote all that)

Who cares if you dont do performance mods but only styling mods?

Because the stereotypical 'ricer' will beleive himself to be faster becuse of them, and act like it. Its one thing to concentrace on having the car look nice, its another to do that and think it automatically makes you a street racer because you LOOK like a street racer. At least, thats my issue with them. Its not so much that they concentrate on just the looks, its that they think it makes them faster.

The damage it does to the clutch, engine, tyres and drive shaft is immence.

I'm not so sure about this, tires yeah, they arent good for tires. The engine probably woudnt be hurt because your just revving it high, and that doesnt damage it (if it does, you have a crappy engine). I could see the drive shaft, mabye.... As for the clutch, I'm not a big 'trannsmission guy' so I really cant say.

Top speed means nothing. My moms turbo diesel mercedes tops out in excess of 160 mph. No one would mistake it for fast. That pic is from a track. From a safety aspect it's far more safe then you topping your car out @ 155 mph as Id assume thats on a road.

High revs, no (well very little) load is bad for an engine.
