hrmm..when were real type R's rice?
dc5r and the dc2r..amazing track cars.
N.O.S. is a company. it stands for nitrous oxide system. the correct term is nitrous or n2o.
honda emblems on an acura..is perfectly fine. they origanted from japan and they dont have acura over there. it would look dumb on TL's because TL's dont exist in japan. the rsx there is still called the honda integra over there. the TSX is the honda accord...
i think you posting this crap makes u a ricer.

You just made yourself sound like a ricer with that last part. Chill dude, all of us have a little bit of the ricer in us. Besides, didn't the practice of badging Acuras with Honda emblems play out a long time ago?

sorry, back from the dead. im looking to get a TL soon, i drive an 04 civic hatchback at the moment. used to drive an 02 IS300. but blew my motor soon after i turbo'd it. its in the shop now getting some goodies put on, hittin the streets better than ever. i stumbled across this as i was browsing the site.
-i pronounce N.O.S. as nitrous. dont matter which kit it is, zex, NX, or nos.. ill still say nitrous. sounds too FnF like to call it naws.
-i actually have an aftermarket widebody kit installed, a wald fender flare kit. i need them to fit the 275 sized rubber on my volks. hope that's not too ricer
-"Use an aftermarket tachometer...when your car already has a working stock tachometer in it." i planned on getting a tach for my civic. i put an rsx-s motor and tranny in.. along with valves and springs w/ retainers. also milled the head with a spoon headgasket. i have a 12-1 cr with a redline of 9 grand. my stock tach is off by a few hundred after 7000. and it ends at 8000. so i have 1000 rpm of guessing. i see getting a new tach would make me a ricer.
-i would put a racing seat in a car that runs a slower than 16 second 1/4 mile, cuz i would build a car for road racing.. and i'd rather it support me through a turn rather than keep me safe running a 16 sec. 1/4. lol
-i always thought that honda invented vtec.
-i would put a honda emblem on an acura, if the acura was made in japan as well. (unlike the TL), but it needs supporting mods that are also jdm. i've got an altezza front grill on my IS, i also have altezza headlights and an altezza trd 2 way lsd. i didnt mean for the gril to say altezza, i just bought it cuz it helped the intercooler breath better.
-i would also put an aftermarket dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder. i've always wanted to do that to my brothers tsx.
-"Make your exhaust sound like a weed-wacker" my civic sounds worse, on track days. when its street driven, i have 2 1/2" mandrel bent pipe to a flanged stock muffler. when i hit the track, an apex n1 goes on, and its earbleeding loud. like a "lawnmower on steroids." maybe that makes me a ricer, but it flows the best and i guess its just the a nature of my beast. btw, it dyno'd 215 at the front wheels.
-Using car donughts and calling them "skinnies". i call donughts skinnies all the time. my friends that race fwd's put skinnies, or donuts, on the rear of the car to lessen the drag that a bigger contact patch would yield.
-Talk about how fast your car will be once you buy and install all the parts. i tell my close friends all the time how much power ill be making when the IS gets outta the shop.
-"bouncing off the revlimiter more than once" woops, mis-shift when i had my stock motor in (k20a3)
-"I didnt catch posi trac on that one" if you're talking about a full positive traction diff, then i am guilty.. lol. i lost to a buddies cl because i dropped the clutch and spun one tire real bad. "peg legged." the stock diff in an IS has a mind of its own.
-"Yeah its got about 5000 dollars invested in it ( and it looks like shit)" this is very opinionated. if my buddy put $5,000 into his 86 it would be beautiful to me. stock i think the car is great. but others would still consider it junk, as its an 86 toyota corolla.
-"Yeah its VTEC, but its not hooked up yet" lol
-"When you tell people it has a 9000 rpm redline and can only turn 6700." that would piss me off.
-"when your car has more torque in the lug nuts than in the motor." hahaha
-"When you transform your car into something else with a headlight swap and taillight swap." i have jdm tail lights and headlights on the IS. and painted black healights with amber corners on my civic.
-"you know what jdm means." i know what it means, i thought most people did. lol
-"if you don't make fun of ricers." its mean to do so, but i still do. but if i end up being a ricer after this test, i'd have been making fun of myself =[ and so far it doesnt look good.
-"If you are getting angry while reading this list." i was angry at some times, more amused than anything.. cuz i didnt think of myself as a ricer. but i obviously am.
-"You join CLUBRSX , not to goof on them, but because you actually think they are fast." i am a member..
-"I will own you in the twisties" i can hold my own
-"You think you stand a chance against all Mustangs and Camaro's because they are heavy." a real good chance.
-"You try explaining why vtec is better than a turbo charger." ahh, the na vs fi feud. ill go both ways, pro's and con's for both. i drive an na civic, built for road racing.. and an fi IS, built for drift.
well guys, im gonna go slit my wrists now. i am a ricer after all =[
-i pronounce N.O.S. as nitrous. dont matter which kit it is, zex, NX, or nos.. ill still say nitrous. sounds too FnF like to call it naws.

-"When you tell people it has a 9000 rpm redline and can only turn 6700." that would piss me off.
-"when your car has more torque in the lug nuts than in the motor." hahaha
-"When you transform your car into something else with a headlight swap and taillight swap." i have jdm tail lights and headlights on the IS. and painted black healights with amber corners on my civic.
-"you know what jdm means." i know what it means, i thought most people did. lol
-"if you don't make fun of ricers." its mean to do so, but i still do. but if i end up being a ricer after this test, i'd have been making fun of myself =[ and so far it doesnt look good.
-"If you are getting angry while reading this list." i was angry at some times, more amused than anything.. cuz i didnt think of myself as a ricer. but i obviously am.
-"You join CLUBRSX , not to goof on them, but because you actually think they are fast." i am a member..
-"I will own you in the twisties" i can hold my own
-"You think you stand a chance against all Mustangs and Camaro's because they are heavy." a real good chance.
-"You try explaining why vtec is better than a turbo charger." ahh, the na vs fi feud. ill go both ways, pro's and con's for both. i drive an na civic, built for road racing.. and an fi IS, built for drift.
well guys, im gonna go slit my wrists now. i am a ricer after all =[

-i pronounce N.O.S. as nitrous. dont matter which kit it is, zex, NX, or nos.. ill still say nitrous. sounds too FnF like to call it naws.
-i actually have an aftermarket widebody kit installed, a wald fender flare kit. i need them to fit the 275 sized rubber on my volks. hope that's not too ricer
-"Use an aftermarket tachometer...when your car already has a working stock tachometer in it." i planned on getting a tach for my civic. i put an rsx-s motor and tranny in.. along with valves and springs w/ retainers. also milled the head with a spoon headgasket. i have a 12-1 cr with a redline of 9 grand. my stock tach is off by a few hundred after 7000. and it ends at 8000. so i have 1000 rpm of guessing. i see getting a new tach would make me a ricer.
-i would put a racing seat in a car that runs a slower than 16 second 1/4 mile, cuz i would build a car for road racing.. and i'd rather it support me through a turn rather than keep me safe running a 16 sec. 1/4. lol
-i always thought that honda invented vtec.
-i would put a honda emblem on an acura, if the acura was made in japan as well. (unlike the TL), but it needs supporting mods that are also jdm. i've got an altezza front grill on my IS, i also have altezza headlights and an altezza trd 2 way lsd. i didnt mean for the gril to say altezza, i just bought it cuz it helped the intercooler breath better.
-i would also put an aftermarket dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder. i've always wanted to do that to my brothers tsx.
-"Make your exhaust sound like a weed-wacker" my civic sounds worse, on track days. when its street driven, i have 2 1/2" mandrel bent pipe to a flanged stock muffler. when i hit the track, an apex n1 goes on, and its earbleeding loud. like a "lawnmower on steroids." maybe that makes me a ricer, but it flows the best and i guess its just the a nature of my beast. btw, it dyno'd 215 at the front wheels.
-Using car donughts and calling them "skinnies". i call donughts skinnies all the time. my friends that race fwd's put skinnies, or donuts, on the rear of the car to lessen the drag that a bigger contact patch would yield.
-Talk about how fast your car will be once you buy and install all the parts. i tell my close friends all the time how much power ill be making when the IS gets outta the shop.
-"bouncing off the revlimiter more than once" woops, mis-shift when i had my stock motor in (k20a3)
-"I didnt catch posi trac on that one" if you're talking about a full positive traction diff, then i am guilty.. lol. i lost to a buddies cl because i dropped the clutch and spun one tire real bad. "peg legged." the stock diff in an IS has a mind of its own.
-"Yeah its got about 5000 dollars invested in it ( and it looks like shit)" this is very opinionated. if my buddy put $5,000 into his 86 it would be beautiful to me. stock i think the car is great. but others would still consider it junk, as its an 86 toyota corolla.

So to all, i must proclaim that you are all RICERS since you are driving a japanese vehicles.
Ricers are young asian kids who do serious modification to their vehicles inspiring movies such as "The Fast and the Furious", which then inspired young white kids in the middle of nowhere surburbia or nowhere america buy their "typhoons", intakes, and Flowmasters from their local kragen/pepboys, modding as they say into Rice Cars. However this group would not fall under the term ricers (see above)...truly would be poser.
Funniest thing, one white guy driving a Japanese car calling posers ricers... guess the only thing to do from here is define irony.
