crushed rice!

[Shakerhood]

I guess I am one of the few Mustang guys who doesnt mind a fast import or FWD car. There was a cute blonde girl driving an SRT-4 running high 12s all night. That earned my respect more than the guy with the 347 Mustang, with a C4, all sorts of goodies that was trailered up going 12.3s! She was out there with the FWD issue, and a 5-speed slamming gears, and basically the fastest Mustang was a trailered race car running junk times for the combo, and the guy didnt even have to really drive it, just point and go!

I would think the Cute Blonde would have looked a thousand times better if she were rowing the gears in a 69 Camaro with a 572 BB in it!

You can't put so much strain on a small engined car. All these fast rice imports that are running good times at extremely high rpms which in turn will take its toll on the smaller engines that are inside the cars. Sure some ricer can brag about his 13 second 1/4 but ask him to run it again 50,000 miles later. I bet you he can't if hes putting that much strain on his engine during daily use... Let ricers be ricers cuz they wont be ricers for many more miles or their just turning their cars into ugly money pits.

Seen the vid of the 799whp SRT-4? Doesn't go far past the stock 6000 RPM redline..

Why not crush cars that are the property of drivers who get DUIs? I'm sure drunk driving kills far more people annually than does street racing.

This whole sherade is ridiculous.

Naturally the destroy the Drugs in a raid but not the Persons House! I still dont agree with this Policy as I can see myself driving along minding my own business and some Ricer Punk pull up beside revving his engine and belching his fart can and a Cop a half mile up the street pulls us both over and confiscate and destroy the cars for nothing other than the Ricer Kid being a Douche!

Alot of you guys are missing what is going on here...

Naturally destroy the drugs...ok good but when all the significant parts of a car come back stolen, what good is the car after those parts have been removed? It's not worth the time and effort of the government to try to peddle honda civic rollers for a couple hundred bucks. Once the stolen parts are out, the car becomes essentially useless and oftentimes unsafe due to extensive modification. Its better to crush the whole thing, in all its illegal glory, and send a message to those out there terrorizing the streets that they need to chill. Any stolen parts found on any of the cars couldnt be sold anyway. So what is the point of the cops trying to eBay a cold air kit or a set of wheels?

These are not kids who ride around together doing quick pulls on the highway, they are blocking off streets and basically creating their own dragstrip in the middle of a city. Cops are not as stupid and dickheaded as you guys seem to think. They won't nail you if you truly aren't doing anything wrong, and even if they try, they wont have alot to go on because you were not in fact racing. Just because a ricer is being an idiot near you means nothing on its own. Even if you did get caught doing a pull on the highway or from a stoplight, I highly doubt you would be in danger of having your car crushed on the spot. The kids that had theirs crushed were more than likely repeat offenders, were involved in something far bigger than your typical highway pull, and drove cars that had no business being on the street in the first place.

Seen the vid of the 799whp SRT-4? Doesn't go far past the stock 6000 RPM redline..

ok great so that car doesnt rev trememdously high, what about all the hondas that these kids shift past 8000?? Sure the engine is capable of those RPM's but you and I well know that continuous abuse like that does not exactly promote engine longevity, and rarely are any of them purposely built for the task.

 

[RS200]

I agree, I go to the track often too. Engine swapped (N/A) Civics run on average in the mid to low 14's... some Turbo or NOS Hondas are in the mid 13's but can't go much lower due to traction problems. Still these kids with the faster "rice" can kick stock Mustangs in the arse but what they forget is that the Mustang they just beat is STOCK (as in; no engine swap, no turbo, no NAAWWWS). I see A LOT more 17 second FWD 4 bangers than I do 14 second and lower. I've seen a N/A 12.7 second Civic hatch ONCE but it had no interior, lexan windows, slicks, engine swap, I mean to trailor your car to only run what a Mustang fox should run with bolt-ons is borderline retarded in my opinion. To each his or her own. You can build yourself a 10 second Civic if you want but don't try and impress me with it because to me it's still a POS wrong wheel drived farting grocery getter.

I don't even like the S2000, that thing hardly has enough torque to unscrew a lightbulb. But I give it props for being a RWD sports car though.

Please stop talking..you obviously don't have anything close to a clue, so save yourself the embarassment.

I got my non-stock 5.0 killed by a stock CRX with a B18C1 (Integra GS-R) swap with a header & exhaust. It was bad. It ran 13.4 a week later. There's also a garage in the states that has an EF hatch as a parts pickup car..it's making over 300whp on a built B-series..on motor. I rarely see slow FWDs at my track. Almost every FWD packs at least a 13.

By the way...your comment about building a 10-second Civic? It's a shame you're so self-righteous, and everything you say and think is law. If you actually like cars and weren't a complete ****ing toll, you'd appreciate performance, RWD, FWD, 4-cylinder, 8..anything.

Also, let's not assume that it's only "kids" who have FWDs. Worst prejudice ever.

I don't mind the points anyone is making, but at least have facts to back it up. Without them, you look stupid.

I say we start crushing cars here on the forum when threads get out of hand!!

If your Mustang is Non-Stock, why in the world would you call a CRX with a Swapped Engine, Tranny, Header, and Fart Can a "Stock" CRX?

Well, since both he and I were both talking about what WE saw at the track, I'd say we both have a clue. That's what was at the track the days he or I was there.

Your non-stock stang was killed by a stock crx(with a motor swap?? Yeah, thats stock.. Why don't you swap in a 351 and try again? That would be stock vs stock, right?) But good job getting killed by a 13.4 car. Will you build my car next? 13's are fast, huh? BTW, what track is kit you go to? Do they have a website?

As far as being a toll, how much is that toll, you tool? Honda tech called. They're missing their idiot. Keep on marching for the import beat and tell us we are self righteous and idiots! Get back to me about what fwd car was intended to be a true performance car by its manufacturer..


One more thing, if I may ask. How old are you? Never mind. I saw it in your profile. Back in the day, respect used to be earned, not given. Philadelphia ricers are a long way from earning any respect.

 

[fivespeedsteed]

the problem with this is that they think all these motors and stuff are stolen, when in reality they think this because the vin number doesn't match the car. i know a few honda swapping people, one of which was pulled over and was almost arrested, because the vin number of the car didn't match the engine and the engine vin didn't match the trans vin, ect..

 

[fivespeedsteed]

oh and not to toot my own horn, but ive always liked my definition of rice.

if you modify your car (not civic, but car) only for the amusment of other people (ie, mexi's dressed all ghetto, ect, and their stock engined bodykitted civics driving like idiots around to try to look cool) thats rice to me. if you modify your car just to look better and get attention.

not rice would be any car (civics included) that you modify to your liking. i doubt all the stock hondas with decals, wings, ect out there are all people who love having that stuff on their car.

people like us and good civic people save their money, buy suspension, engines, even tasteful body kits, body work and make some amazing little fun cars. www.jdmc.com is a great forum. when someone joins and posts pics of their altezza tailed, riced out car, they call them a ricer... just like we do..

 

[Venom351R]

I can see why they are crushing the cars b/c the problem is so far out of hand and people are dying from it. A crushed car is well worth the price of a human life.

What good does selling off the parts do? Who's going to buy these parts.....more ricers.... The only other thing to do would be to strip the aftermarket parts off it, crush those and sell the car although many OEM parts would be missing.

All and all I can see why they are doing what they do. Crushing the cars is the most easy and best way to get the point across. The excuse of "I dont live close to a track" is complete . Just b/c you dont live close to a track is no excuse to block off public roads and hold illegal racing events.

As stated before this is not cars that just run light to light and end up getting crushed. Its from organized events and cars that happen to be "missing" VIN numbers.

 

[J_Squared]

This is the stupidest things ive ever heard. No way they should be able to crush, regardless of what kind of car it is. This is just gonna make things worse, more ppl are gonna die. If u were street racing, u see a cop coming after u, u think oh **** my car wont just get impounded and im going to jail. but when i get out my prized possession will me 4 inches thick. Im gonna run, kill 20 ppl in a van doing 150mph to get away. great idea cali, great. they think that this will fix something, obviously they dont think about all the angles. even if it didnt come to that, as some ppl have said, it definitely doesnt fit the crime, dont even part it out, just sell it or something, too much work for them to part it out. even if the parts were stolen, i doubt these kids knew they were. just another dumb idea politicians came up with imo.

You sound like a fartpipe loving wanna be. A 10 second civic will always be a f---ing POS FWD turd in my book. A "stock CRX with a B18C1 swap"... guess what you, you f--ing tard, that is NOT a STOCK CRX. 13.4 with an engine swap... wow what a deal. Let's see I ran 99.5mph with a stock 5.0 which is a mid 13 second time with traction. Now let me swap my engine for a, hmmmm, a built 351... 13.4? yeah if I'm stonned, have a flat tire, missing a spark plug or two... So if you think a modded mid 13 second honda CRX will make me change my mind about that... you've got another thing coming. You sound like every ricer knows of a "fast" honda out there. Yet out in the real world, where I live, I rarely see one.

I wish they would crush any car that sounded like a wet fart. Every 4 banger I've ever owned had the stock muffler on it. BTW, If I was stuck with a 4 banger as my "weekend toy" it would NOT be a POS honda... SRT4, WRX, Cobalt SS, etc... I would put money on a ZX2 S/R with a SVT head swap and whatever else is needed to beat a "stock honda with an engine swap". Doesn't the phrase "stock honda with an engine swap" sound retarded, hahaha something ricers say all the time.

Hey my stock Mustang with supercharged 427 runs in the 8's RICERS, PLEASE GET A ****ING LIFE.

 

[Boss 351]

When I see "stock hondas with engine swaps" zig-zaging in traffic, I wish that crushing law was in effect here in quebec. They should go and leave the sidecap wearing fruits in the car while they crush them

 

[grey5.0beast]

I kind of agree with what boss said. I have some friends that drive imports, one is a turboed 240, one used to have a Supra, he sold it and bought a BMW and is now looking into some turbo supras. Those are the imports that get respect from me. My GF's Ex-boss drove a civic with a full fiuberglass front end(unpainted of course) and engine swap and said he would smoke me, I asked him to go out on the hwy with me and then he turns it around and says "Come to pleasant Hill(local street spot) saturday night and I'll show you 3 civics that can smoke you" I was like "that's great, but we're not talking about 3 others, youu just said you'd smoke me...."

Then this kid in an Integra was talking crap, I said follow me out to satelite real quick and we'll run, you know hwat he turned around and did? He said his car was untuned at the moment, called his friend over who rolled up in a stock, but turboed crx... I SMOKED that thing, and he was like the king of the rice around the area...

Ricer's alwasy have excuses not to run...

 

[J_Squared]

see the thing is, regardless of if u like rice or not, thats not the point of this thread. go rant about rice elsewhere. honestly. its not about respect for the car. who cares, if someone wants to make their POS a little less ****ty, let them. its there money. but to crush someones car for this type of crime, is just some politicians way of trying to look big and mighty in the publics eye, probably for this coming election. please. if they ever enacted such a law in new york, they'd probably have a riot, lol.

save the rice bashing for another thread.

oh and :Track: simple solution.

 

[Shakerhood]

Otherwise stock

I would much rather drive the "Stock" Pontiac Solstice that Hod Rod did by putting an LS7 in it, that would be a great car to compare the "Stock" CRX that you raced. The "Stock" Solstice ran 10s in the 1/4, handled like a slot car, and knocked down almost 30MPG on the Highway!

The non matching P/N argument sucks too, I am sure every single car out there still has the Original Engine and Tranny in it as delivered from the Factory. So if some Douchebag Ricer Kid gets you pulled over for gunning it next to you and the Cop runs the Numbers on your car and you cant produce a Receipt for your Junkyard T5 then your car gets crushed, Amendment IV of the Constitution protects you from having your Property Seized, the Goverment is breaking the Law!

If you put it that way... that would suck monkey balls. But if an American can sue a cleaners 65 million for loosing a pair of pants, I bet you can make a killing with that scenerio I would hunt down that ricer and make myself a bag of spare body parts

I think sleepers will make a good comeback. "Officer, sir... I can't race with THIS thing, it's hardly able to stay in one piece?"
