Last month I pulled up next to Honda CRX. This thing had a tailpipe bigger than a soccerball. It sounded terrible and had 17" wheels on it. He rolls down his window and asked if I'd like to pop my Datsun's cherry. Nope. He wasn't listening because he starts reving his 4-cyl for all its worth and floors it when the light turns green. He nails through the intersection before I make it off the line, and he won. Thats right he won. What did he win? Well considering 3 seconds later he broadsided a police car I would say he won a night in jail, and more fines than I care to imagine. Of course I really couldn't help myself, so as I cruised by I waved at him as he was most likely crying.

Na, too early to time anyone, I have to get to work around 4:30am.

We ARE talking about a Honda CRX aren't we?

So, it IS conceivable that half that time he spent just reving his engine up, and then shot forward nailing the cop........

it is my duty to provide you with this site, it is not mine, but hell its funny.... http://riceboypage.com/

Good morning all. I have a story from last night. Now I don't claim to be a "Ricer", but I was driving my wifes car (the Z is sick) while delivering pizza. She owns a Kia Sephia. Here is a pic.

Now I have done some work to it, not much, just a K&N air filter, NGK Spark, Ractive muffler(1 1/2" outlet), and not to menchon, IT'S AN AUTOMATIC. She cant drive a 5-speed. Anyway, while driving I saw the 5" tailpipe, and the clear tail lights. Honda Civic. Had V-Tech all over it. He tried to get me to roll start. I waited untill he punched it. Then I took the overdrive off and chased after him, while going up-hill, I got him. In a KIA? Now if I had the Z running, I woulden't even give it a second thought to blow his doors off. Great story though, cops can be in the right place at the right time.

ps. I guess the pic is too big, I'll post it later.....KIA!!!

maybe my car sucks..

Although I have an automatic transmission you would think an 280Z could kill an 5-speed Saturn with 4-doors and two people in it right?

Wrong... she smoked me.. really bad...

i want a 5-speed

qualifications for a rice "rocket":

1) 4 cylinders

2) Crappy exhaust with a tip 10x larger than the pipe

3) Asian driver (mostly)

4) excessive body kits

5) "chrome" hubcaps

6) fake boost gauge

7) massive rear wing

8) NO BRAINS

NO u got it all wrong. Why would u call them rockets. They kinda have to be fast to be rockets. what do i call em? rice burners. THat pisses off my buds who have civics.

If they are rockets then im gona call my car a 4-door rocket.

Prox a five speed saturn is really fast. Mine will hit 110 easy. But its not mach for the Z

I really don't think 110 is really fast. My six banger camaro will do 137. Granted I've tweeked it a bit. Fast is over 150!! By the way do you have my money???

Yeah pm me your address I forgot

my 4-cyl 1999 Toyota Camry is auto and cuts out at 119 or 122mph. It actually accelerates decent too- everything thinks it's the V-6.

Here's my list for qualifications to be a ricer:

-Have someone else install EVERYTHING on your car, including the shift knob

-Have a bowling ball-sized exhaust tip

-Think the exhaust tip will give you horsepower

-More stickers than you have torque

-Putting a "Type-R" badge on anything other than a genuine Civic Type-R (and no, you don't have one)

-Putting a "GT-R" sticker on anything other than a genuine GT-R

-If you think adding a body kit improves your aerodynamics enough to give you an extra 20mph in your top speed

-If you install one body kit piece at a time

-If you install your kit and don't paint it

-If you more than 1 set of fog/driving lights

-If you car is an automatic but you shift it netural abnd Drive 2 and Low to make people think you're working a clutch

-If you don't know how to drive a manual

-If you think looks are more importaint than speed

-If you don't know who Nickolius (spelling) Otto is

-If you can't name more than 10 engine parts

-If you have a fake electronic blow-off valve speaker mounted under your hood

-If you have a fake intercooler mounted behind your front bumper

-If you have a turbine-shaped impeller mounted in your exhaust to get the "whirl" sound of a turbo, but you're too stupid to know that the "whirl" is supposed to come from under the hood you moron

-If you try to race every single person and their mother at a stop light

-If you think you're hard because you can sqeaul the tires

-If you have 18 or larger inch wheels on your Civic

-Your knoweledge on suspension consist of "It has springs"

Damn, I could go on, but I don't want to make too big of a post. Ricers wizz me off. I don't hate Civics or Integras or anything, just the drivers. That's what pisses me off.

Their are a feiw fast civics around that could be hard to beat. Given the propper driving.

Watch out... the new 06 civic will be coming with the 1.8L 140hp motor. A much better starting point than the non Si 127 now. Of course that's still not SE-R 165hp... on the other hand the new Si now no longer a hatchback, has a 2.0L and 197hp and that IS more than the Spec-V's 175!?!?!?! Hmmm, Nissan better get on the ball. The honda only has 139lb-ft of torque vs. the Spec-V's 180, but I don't know if it will help.

I'll put my stock '72 up against ANY stock '72 Honda ANYDAY!!!
