There are no examples of that in this thread.

In 2001 the 2.5RS was the highest model Impreza in America. The WRX didn't show up til' 2002. Based on you're anology me putting a WRX engine into my 2.5RS would make it rice. It's funny this guy with a 4000lb cadillac is talkin all this ****** in here. I bet he's some trailer park redneck who watches nascar and hates all Japanese products just because they arn't "American".

Meet me in the snow, the rain, the ice, the dirt or a road that isn't straight and prepared to be raped.

I ment for ricer context to the word "pretending". This includes part modifications that do nothing, very little, or even hinder the performance of their vehicle. An engine swap with substantial gains is not a ricerly act. Now an engine swap and 300 pounds of stickers on the body would probably be rice. A lot of it is subjective.

I will say this though... The ones who are truly driving rice are the ones who will be the most defensive about it and prone to throw negative sterotypes back at other people.

thats the problem. YOU DONT have a wrx engine. i have more respect for a 2.5 rs that actually WENT fast instead of LOOKING fast.

if you bothered to look at my profile, im from nyc. no nascar tracks here.

nice challenge, last i checked caddys dont do well on dirt, or any of your bullsh!t. its like me challenging you to a drag race. we know how you'd do

Yes I know how my 2.5rs would do. I would get you off the line because of AWD and most likely the caddy would get me after 3rd. Straight lines arn't my thing though. And I didn't do anything to make my car look fast, unless rims make it look fast...

I think the meaning of riced out is being confused. I would consider rice a foreign or domestic car that usually is an econobox like a cavalier or civic and the owner puts stickers for products he doesn't have on the car, neon lights, huge spoilers, massive sound systems, huge chrome rims, slams it, etc.

rbrandon if you love you're car, great, enjoy it. Just don't start saying you're car is the ****** just cause it has 300hp. I could have bought a used Audi A8 with 300hp for less then the cost of my used RS and it would have been quicker in a straight line, but that isn't my thing.

2000 VW GTI VR6 - all stock except the upgraded stereo, rotors (factory rotors warped - thanks VW), and pads (to reduce brake dust - stock VW pads are dirty). And while I could probably beat a majority of the ricers driving bumble bee canned erector set winged Civics, Accords, Neons, Eclipses, etc - I don't. I know my car is slow compared to cars that are really fast so what's the point?

Here's a message to all the guys driving around with the coffee can exhausts, useless wings, neon, stickers, pillar gauges, seat back, gangsta lean, wrist over the steering wheel, etc, etc, etc... Your car is not fast - it's just loud. Also, you are not cool either - you only think you are. The only people who think you are cool and your car is fast are you and those like you.

I still blame TF&TF and Vin Diesel for all of this...

I feel the same way. F&F & TFTF is the root of this rice issue. If it wasn't for those movies I don't think we would see all this crap. They are however entertaining movies, basically fun to laugh at all the dumb ****** in them and the horrible acting haha.

Hehe... Funny story... My brother and sis-in-law have a Honda Oddesy (minivan). Well he was merging into traffic and a riced out older Civic tried to get in front of him. He feels like me as far as the ricer cars so he floored it and beat the Civic in his van! Right about then it would be time to put the Civic back to stock and lose the attitude!

Don't get me wrong, there's some very quick 4-bangers out there that have a few mods and still look (and sound) decent or might look a bit exotic even in stock form but I don't consider them 'riced'. To me, riced is taking your average low performance economy car (I've seen everything from Civics, Neons, & Eclipses to Rav4's and ) and adding mods to it that do little for performance and appearance. In the end you still have an economy car - it's just louder and has a lower resale.

The list of mods are pretty much all performance mods. Mainly suspension. I'll have to post a pic of the car at autocross.

And in those pics the car was dirty as hell cause winter just got over with.

my vr6 gti had clear lenses as well, but i certainly never listed them as mods. if you feel the need to you are reaching or covering up for something else you can't afford or weren't smart enough to do.

Beautiful car man.

Prepare to be torn apart by the nascar idiots because of you're clear lights :disgust:

Oh and Rbrandon get the stats right. Its 165HP and 166lb-ft

EDIT: The only engine mods are catback exhaust and intake which should net around 10hp. Mainly got them to free up the restrictive stock ******. Most of the mods are for better handling... but I guess good handling = rice.

most of your "mods" are rice. putting in a stereo (or having someone else install it most likely) is not a mod. and it's your clear lights, not you're. you are clear lights? wow. and you're (you are) calling other people idiots. wow. just wow.

Wow please go DIAF

I've done everything myself and that is a forum for that particular car so I will list everything done to it since those people would want to know that.

With FF/front wheel drive cars, a rear spoiler serves no other purpose than cosmetic, as the resulting downward force on the rear of the car will reduce downforce on the front of the car, lowering power and traction.

wrong.

it's still rice, regardless of what forum it's on. i'm sure you picked everything out at the bolt on store, don't worry nobody will know you paid to have it installed.

Yeah keep speculating. I don't need to prove anything to you. Bolt on store? As in murrays auto or pep boys haha. You are a moron. The rs is extremely rare and its not easy to find parts for it. Oh and the only reason I have clear side lights is cause when I got the car one was broken and the JDM ones happen to be clear. Think whatever you want, everyone that has seen my car in person loves it and is all curious about it because you don't see them much. 98-01 around 11-12k sold in the US.

apples and oranges?
Hey, you're the one who posted the video with the WRX driver who can't freakin' drive. A 16 second 1/4-mile is a hideous time (green light at 5 seconds in the vid, crosses the line at 21). I mean... jeez... he shifts from 2nd to 3rd at like 5k rpm. Pathetic. Someone forgot to tell him he was at the dragstrip.

If you want a real comparo, consider that the STS V8 costs $50k and up and (according to C&D) does a 14.8 1/4-mile. A WRX costs $25k and (once again, per C&D) does a 14.4 1/4-mile.

Now why don't YOU quit comparing apples and oranges and quit trolling this thread?

edit: and oh yeah, that's not an 04 WRX, it's an 02 or 03. The speedometer is in the middle (the tach is in the middle in 04 and later), the arrow is yellow on the Momo logo on the steering wheel (it's red in 04's and the Momo wheel was discontinued in 05), and the hood scoop is rounded (it has sharp edges in 04-05).

And btw, the STS ran a 14.691 at 94.80 mph (the video shows it as he crosses the line). Whoop-de-doo...
