Some of these are very silly b/c ricers aren't smart enough to do half of them.

3 of these 4 apply to me, but my car has its reasons due to the small amount of aftermarket parts available.

[Immelmann]

I gate ricers, those Civic and Integras need to be burned.

[CobraDBlade]

need to add one to the list there:

 

If you have ever lost a race to a minivan (true story. I was the one driving the van :D)

[Jacob]

This is probally the funny post i've read yet. thank god im none of them. when i get a car ill probally just a an intake for maybe 3hp more but thats it

[ShadowGT]

# after losing you flip your opponent off... rev your motor and fail to break the wheels loose even around a corner.

 

Guilty as charged >_>. I had the car in "economy" mode instead of "Power" Mode so the tires never broke loose.

Ricers are an embarasment to the car enthusiast world. Yes, your car is a 4-cylinder, yes your car is slow, and yes everyone in the world knows that. Sticking a 8-inch diameter exhaust pipe on your civic or putting racing vynals on your eclipse are not going to make them any faster. The only thing that is going to do is make people laugh out loud at your arrogance...

[Guest RB26DETT]

Don't hate the Honda's man, hate the driver. I love Civic Si's and Type-R's when stock. US-Spec Civic Si Coupe FTW!

 

I do hate it when people with normal Civic VTi's have Si or Type-R badges on their car. Posers.

mate, how is it arrogant? if people want to put something on their car like a sticker, i dont see any problem with that, or how it is arrogant. dictionaries come in helpful, and would be helpful for YOU right now.

[Baltoman]

hahahhahahhhhahahhhhaha Ricers = +18 Super Noobs

 

When I get a car, all I'm gonna do is paint the color that bests suits it.

I have a Civic Si '08 & I know for a fact I can launch it faster than half the kids here with Mustangs or Camaros who don't know how to drive them properly.

 

Don't hate.

[Guest RB26DETT]

I want a Civic Si Coupe!:crying:

Don't hate.

 

a 08 Civic isn't a tuners car. How many tuner noobs do you think can afford a year old car? Plus i bet you were vs'ing Mustangs & Camaro's that are as old as the hills. I find it hard to believe that a civic can beat any post 2000 Mustang or Camaro ( hell even most 90's stangs & Camaro's should beat your civic).

 

Now im not saying you didn't beat them i'm saying i want proof lol cos i find it hard to believe.

[Shy Guy]

The most type of ricers that I hate is those the remove the badges and put different ones, some guy in a Camry put a CHRYSLER badge instead of the Toyota, I got so mad, probably a fan of the 300C, but still >=( I also saw a Hyundai Tuscani with a custom badge, and today I saw a Camaro(4th gen) with a Plymouth Superbird long wing

 

and I also saw an '07 Camry with Angel Eye headlights, first time I see the angel eye, looks cool but not on the camry :p

[KoenigseggBG]

Haha, that`s nothing man. I see BMW 5 or 3 series, old or new ones with M badges on them. Also there`re RS or S badges from Ford or Audi on most of the ricers cars here. In Bulgaria unforunately we have such a dumbasses that understand nothing about cars...:(

[Who]

Some of those arent so bad! especially hyundai + perfprmance! have you seen the WRC Hyundai accent? *drool*

 

errr, for noise, also true, my bike produces 12hp lol

 

rolling start, yep, my bike is heavy but gets 70 (eventually) my best mate's gets 60 but gets there alot quicker :p

 

Also, i lean REALLY far back and it hurts my back!

 

I suppose that's the thing about having a cruiser!

[gingervette]

You people are clearly not understanding my post...

 

You drive a civic or eclipse? Good for you, go right ahead, I could care less. My post was pointed specifically toward those who try to make their car look for sound faster than they know it can go. They put these huge exhausts on them and they make these harindous noises. And put stupid vynals on them that they think are cool. Then they try to have a go at a car they know is faster just so they can look cool. This is how it works where I live. Doesn't work that way where you live? Not my problem.

[KoenigseggBG]

I completely understand you, redvette. Here is a Bulgarian example of "cool" exhaust

I bet DriftNismo (Deaths Pyjamas) has every single thing on the list. =P

 

Jokes.

[Shy Guy]

D= I love ricing my cars, seriously my Honda Civic I got for 500$ I tricked it out with angel eye headlights, 21' rims ,chrome all over, an 8 inch spoiler, hydralics and all that crap

 

[/sarcasm]

 

I don't really like a lot of ricing, except if a car needs it or to make less holes

[McLaren]

Now im not saying you didn't beat them i'm saying i want proof lol cos i find it hard to believe.

My Si is a tuner's car, end of story. It isn't too different from the Mugen special minus its aerodynamics and stiffer suspension setup. However, I don't care to modify it anymore than I have b/c I may not be keeping it. Makes a terrific track car, though, for my days at MSR.

 

And I never said I beat them. I said I launch faster than them because I'm not retarded and just floor it. I've got a 0-60 in around 6 seconds and with 200 horses, so I know if launched properly, I'll easily gain several lengths.

 

If I want to put punk ass high school kids in their place though, I'll use my TL-S.

[CarboyZR1]

How can they forget the "place BMW badge over Hyundai badge"?

[Guest RB26DETT]

There are some here who own the current generation Lancers and placed Evolution badges on the trunk. Posers!
