I guess since you can get a nice used S2000 for under $18k that has opened the door to the ricers.?

I saw a yellow S2000 w/ a huge center mounted black wing and it had 4 seperate little pods for guages mounted on the hump around the speedo...??? It had some kind of body kit and a horrible looking dual exhaust that stuck out too far.

The guy probably spent $10k in addition to the purchase price to be laughed at. There were two guys in a Range Rover laughing at the car in traffic...(along with me).

I have also seen a few other not so tastefully modified s2000's around recently.

it would be nice if Ricer's stuck to Neon's and civics.


[Disclaimer] My S2000 has a big ebay wing on it too (click signature), but mine is actually functional.... and my car is not street legal. [/disclaimer]

 

 

I wouldn't worry, it's not my $10k they're spending to make their car look horrible.

 

not worried...just stupid...


wish i could find a picture of the wing... i have never seen such a dumb looking wing. This is a horrible picture, but it looked something like that...... i would guess that the wing flaps at speed since there is nothing but a center mount.

 

Ricers are doing me a big favor liberally applying doses of bad taste to their S2000's. They just makes my car look better in comparison.

 

Yeah, because NOONE on this board has anything ricey on their cars...

Why did the "guys who were laughing with you" have to be in a Range Rover? Are they Rich like you? You couldn't have just said "two guys"...

Granted, most of the people on this board have great taste in cars... but some, no matter where you go don't have good taste when it comes to modifying them...

There are a lot of people who tune/modify civics that are not ricers, but you notice the ones that are...

 

OK... someone is reading too much into that comment.

And yeah Scot, I'm with you on this. Now that used 2000 S2000's can be had for under $20K, a lot of kiddies can afford one and rice them up. Its a shame.

 

The spend 15K on the car and go to NAPA or Autozone for the high performace APC parts. Remember, they're not ricers, they're "tuners"...pleeeease.

 

Yeah, if they quit going to Pep Boys so damn much, they'd have enough money to buy a new 05 S.

Too bad you didn't have a camera to snap a picture and send it to www.riceboypage.com

From their website:
"What sets apart Rice-Boys from normal performance enthusiasts is that they are more concerned with the image of speed than they are about actual performace. Few Rice Rockets add the one option that can make a Civic begin to go fast -- a turbochager."

HAHAHAHA!

When I was in high school, 8 years ago, instead of ricers, we had the guys who put those tiny little skateboard wheels on any car, and thought it looked pimp. God, those guys were gay.
