this is copy pasted from http://www.urbandictionary.com
for a possible definition?


1. ricer 1425 up, 145 down

(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.

Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.




1. rice rocket 146 up, 31 down

Derogatory term once used by domestic motorcycle enthusiasts to deride the new Japanese motorcycles that were coming to market.

Recently adopted by critics of a recent wave of self-modified Japanese import
automobiles, particularly those that are held to have been altered in poor taste.

Critics defend the use of the term due to the garish appearance and lacking performance of some such vehicles. Some critics, however, often cannot discern accurately the difference between merely garish modified vehicles and those that are tuned to high-performance levels.

The term 'rice' is intended to describe the "Japanese" nature of the offending vehicles. Modified small-displacement cars, however, are increasingly seem to be both domestic and imported.

We ran a few rice rockets on the freeway last night, smoked some guy in his S2000 but the guy in the Supra twin-turbo took our asses to school!

Proof that rice rockets needn't be expensive

2. rice rocket 103 up, 23 down

Any member of the front-drive, inexpensive, usually 4 cylinder powered class of automobiles that has had extensive appearance and stereo modifications in order to look fast, but in reality, is NOT fast. A 'rice rocket' is usually characterized by a high sticker-to-horsepower ratio, massive Boeing 747 wing (apparently to hold the rear wheels on the ground), and an exhaust sound somewhere between a lawnmower and a jetski.

"How much did daddy pay for your rice rocket, Tristan?"

by bastard Jan 16, 2003 email it
3. rice rocket 62 up, 17 down

A slow car, usually a 4 cylinder mitsubishi lancer or hyundai excel that is 'riced' up by the owner by putting stickers all over it and adding a rear wing (for extra downforce on the rear to improve acceleration in their front wheel drive car). Other common 'modifications' include the infamous 'drain pipe' exhaust system, and 'lowering' - which is done by cutting the springs with a pair of pliers or tin-snips. The drivers of these sorts of cars are usually young teenagers who have no clue about cars, and actually think their car is 'fast' - and then either refuse to race a decent car (because they know they'll get annihilated), or get absolutely humiliated when they do.

The other night this guy in this rice rocket was revving his engine at the lights, trying to get me to race him... so I laughed a bit at first, then thought 'hmm why not'. He took off as fast as he could, and was wondering why he couldn't pass me when I was just staying beside him at half-throttle. Then I dropped back a gear and nailed it, hitting full-boost and leaving the poor ricer in a cloud of smoke about 15 car lengths behind.

4. rice rocket 54 up, 19 down

Signs of a rice rocket:
1) Came with a 4 banger
2) Now "tricked" out
3) Uses laughing gas to go faster, which is ironic seeing as how the whole idea is a joke
4) Gay writing on the windshield. This is usually the drivers' name in Olde English (just in case they forgot their name during the run) or the brand of car they run (just in case you couldn't tell under all the body kits and stickers)
5) Gets smoked on the quarter-mile by an 80-year old Jewish woman driving a Continental.

Fast and the Furious was a good movie until I realized, to my horror, that I paid money to watch it.

5. rice rocket 39 up, 9 down

The term rice rocket was for motorcycles not cars, originally. The term came out before cars were modified in the way they are now. Rice rockets usually described Japanese bikes that were superior performers off the line, were more likely one up bikes, and cafe style, before european cafe was cool. Further, Most Harley bikers knew they would be smoked in a drag race so to save face, knowing they were more in love with tradition than technology, had to rationalize their decision making process in purchasing a knowingly inferior product by, coining the term "rice rocket.

Those guys on their "rice rockets" don't know what real biking is all about!

by wayne's world Apr 6, 2004 email it
6. rice rocket 20 up, 7 down

Slow ass 4-cylinder car with a slew of cheap mods. These can include a "coffee-can" exhaust, performance parts stickers, rims, tinted windows, and the always necessary unpainted wing. There are rare versions that are actually respectable, but most are downright laughable.

Some honda pulled up to me with a tach-light for shifting and started revving. I managed to crush him two times in a row with 4 people in my truck, a full tank of gas, and studded snow tires. That's what 5.7 liters and 330 pounds of torque does.

by Jason Dec 8, 2003 email it
7. rice rocket 24 up, 12 down

A vehicle driven that is generally not meant to go fast, yet has the apperance of being a race-like car. A driver of a rice-rocket is a rice boy.

Why do people do up ******* Honda Civics and make them "look" sporty when they are girls cars. I hate those crappy "rice rockets".

Well to talk about what this is about, I think that you get rediculous answers because they lose more often than not. They say these things because they cannot accept that their car is a slow POS, and give you respect for having a quick car.

first of all you coming out and calling me names doesnt seem very respectful...

and yes i might not have stated the "noob" thing clearly but im meaning it as some people dont deserve to be here.... yes we were all noobs once and we either "grew up" like i said or are still noobs

the people who dont "grow up" and dont learn from being a noob should be criticized and should leave this forums...

and i didnt say he was a good person i said he had some great points

yes i do disagree how he portrays some of his points but if someone is saying something like they no what they are talking about when the obviously dont god+1 and many others will point out the mistakes

this is where they accept that they didnt know, learn from it, and "grow up" like i said or they should eventually leave

i care about the noobs who want to learn and be the "future" and will take the teachings of others but not the noobs who think they know it all

Well I also have to admit something, I have used ricer excuses one time out of being pissed off. Situation- I was going up a bridge a lane away from a heavily modded ws6 in a stock (intake, bov) 97 eclipse gst. I started to give it some gas and the firebird flies by me. We both get stopped at the light and he startes making fun of my "stock" car. How small of a dick do you have to have to yell at a guy that you would beat stock if you were even racing, so I gave him my , wtf you are heavily modded, three times the displacement, etc. Well after I cooled off, I thought it was pretty funny. I call it my "Small dicked flyby" story.

Haha its what my friend with an RSX-S always says to me, yet he also goes "4 cylinders are just as good as 8", then he throws the "well, you have 4 more cylinders so its not fair" at me. lol Thanks for the compliment, same to your car. If the dealer didn't take so long getting the cobalt SS/SC I ordered (i stare everytime i see one on the road), I'd be driving one instead of my GTO

The best excuse is either.
A- I thought i saw a cop a mile down.
B- I wasnt paying attention to the light. even though u know they were.
C- i wasnt trying.
those are the three most common for me at least.

i just beat a honda civic light to light, in my 6000 lb minivan, lol. AWD rules.
winter here tho, he had no traction even with steelies. my steelies have studded grips
mounted.we were both looking to jockey for position, and when he saw me speed up for the change, he booted it, so then i did, and i blew past him as he was all over the road trying to accel. lol he really gave me a funny look at the next light.
