so what's he run? 14s? perhaps high 13s with the doors up?
are you coming out too?
great thread, will read again.
I knew those doors had their effect .He runs low 13's.
Your car seems fine. It was a joke on his doors.I'm not sure if that was insulting my car or his with that kind of statment.
As far as the comment "are you coming out too?" goes, it's seriously uncalled for. I don't even know you, the least you could do is show a little bit of respect.
can someone please point out specifically what is 'ricey' about this car? no, it does not have lamborghini doors, altezzas, or any of that; other than the fact that it was simply made in japan if thats all you are going to say

I'd drive a Celica because it must be a fun city car. I don't think it's a girl's car at all. But I also don't think that it really qualifies as a sports car either.its the exact same body kit as the car first posted, and theyre 18" wheels...but wow, seriously, an insect? a woman's car? where in the description does it say this car is for a woman only? is that because it is a 4cyl? i would agree if i looked at a celica i would think it is a cool chick car. but if i saw a guy driving one i wouldn't label him gay. why is a cf hood rice?
at this point i wouldnt be surprised if a stock lancer evo or sti was labeled rice either just because it has a tall wing. same could be said for a cobra R then about the large wing and exxagerated front bumper. oh well.
Sure.....stock or not, it sports an ugly assed non functional body kit. It kinda looks like a bastardizes Stalker kit for a Mustang.....which was also an ugly/ricey design to start with (sorry Ray). Huge heavy blacked out wheels that look like 4 giant spare tires or like someone that was too lazy to clean off their brake dust when they washed the car. Crazy, exagerated lines......can someone please point out specifically what is 'ricey' about this car?
perhapswhatever you want but half the comments made here aren't even valid.
would you say that to someone who had gunmetal bullits? probably not...so why?
Yes actually (check any of my previous posts on the subject), I'm alright with painted wheels, but when they're flat black like the ones in the picture, or even Black Bullitts, FR500's,....whatever on a Mustang, or any other nice car, they just look crappy IMO.
That's a stretch if I've ever heard one.and how do you know that they are heavy? they could be made from carbon fiber for all you know.
The Cobra R front end and rear deck spoiler aren't exaggerated? First off, unlike a Celica, the Cobra R was designed as a full fledged race car, built strictly for competition. The design of the front splitter was to get the nose down as close to the ground as possible. Doing this added to it’s streamline effect, and also kept air from getting in underneath the car and lifting the front end at high speeds. As far as the deck spoiler goes, you'll notice that it's directly in line with the profile of the roof. It's designed this way to streamline the car as it catches the air coming off the roof line and create down force on the back end of the car……again, to keep weight over the wheels during high speedsthe ugly body kit is whatever, everyone has their own opinion...id venture a guess the body kit is about as functional as i mentioned before of the exxaggerated cobra r front bumper and large wing. but no one would dare call that rice.
Every part of that car was built to be totally functional. It's just a coincidence that it happened to be super sexy in the process.
at what point can you say the cobra r rear spoiler or one on an import are any different in functionality? the cobra would need to be going at an incredible rate of speed to make that thing useful. another car, take for instance the lancer evo, could be modified easily to go just as fast yet if it has a large wing it is called a ricer wing rather than functional. the statement about the wheels...you have no proof they are heavy and will exxessivly slow the car down, yet it was pointed out right away because its obvious they are larger. the chrome wheels on my car have got to be one of the heaviest wheels on the market, or better yet the blinging 20s on the new saleens, but thats not even mentioned...ever. put 20s on an import - ricer, but 20s on a mustang - doesnt matter.Gearbanger 101 said:Every part of that car was built to be totally functional.
