Answer 1

a car built in Japan or a make of car that is foreign, small, and gets good gas mileage. Give me a ricer anyday.

Answer 2

A "ricer" or "rice burner" is a bash on japanese people and the cars that they make. They are making fun of japanese people because their main food dish is rice, and so suppsidly they also feed their cars rice. Thus Rice burner. Origonally the saying had nothing to do about the performance or looks of the car just the fact that it was from japan. Now it has grown to point out those cheaply souped up civics and other japanese cars that are loud with real cheap and gross looking body kits.

"rice burners" are my favorite cars. They are awsome like the Mitsubishi EVO, the Nissan Skyline GTR-34 and Nissan Silvia S-15, The Mazda RX-7.

Answer 3

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. Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers. A non-riced Honda Civic usually has a better engine swapped into it (more horsepower, etc) and looks clean, and never has stickers on it.

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.

Answer 4

Whats up with u stupid a.s.s Americans.......a ricer is not a Japanese made car........ricers are those ppl who make modifications to their cars to make it 'look' instead of actually going faster. Btw why u guys bashing Japanese vehicles anyway.......is it because a slightly modified 2L engine Civic or Integra can smoke ur Mustangs and Camaros........the Japs have shown that you don't need a big a.s.s v6 to make power. The evo and wrx's dyno at 300hp and over with a 2L engine while ur V6 which is 3 times that is giving ya'll the same power................soon the sales of mustangs, corvettes and vipers will drop significantly.....because a lot of Americans are seeing the light........hey GM is feeling the heat already.

Answer 5

Ricers are typically sport compact tuners that put stuff on their car that only makes it look different / foolish and not increase the performance.

Many times parts installed actually decrease the performance or are installed improperly.

got rice?

Answer 7

Ricer = a wheezey, four banger Asian import that poser kids bolt metal tubes onto the intake, stick dumb decals on the fenders like 'NOPI' or some such sh*t, screw on a sewage pipe sized exhaust tip and drive around thinking they have actually customized and tuned a so-so car into something worthwhile -- NOT.

Answer 8

any japanese made car, cause they are known to eat a lot of rice over there, and most japanese cars dont use much fuel so they call them ricers or rice burners.

Answer 9

obstensibly, the term applies to Japanese motorcycles, or vehicles, Japanese are known for using rice as a life staple, so thus the slang term 'ricer', or 'rice burner'. hope that clears it up for you.

Answer 10

Those cars come from Japan, China and they eat and grow a lot of rice there. Those cars practically run on rice they have so much of it. Its just a saying.
