um, if that isn't being a ricer, then I don't know what one is...

japanese car, lowered, rims, header, exhaust, etc...

I'm glad to see that a few of these things will actually boost the performance for your car, but this would make you a ricer...

Anyways, do you go to anything like VIR or Auto-X or anything like that?

psh! you guys and your Integra's, 280 ZX's, Ram 1500's, Mustang's, Corvette's, and all your other assorted predictable cars... A real man likes Trabants ;). If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, click on one of these links. Pic 1. Pic 2. Gotta give East Germany a little love ;).

1982 Chevette, hands down....ask anyone on here that has seen it (Katie, DJ, or Jeremy) and they will tell you no different :D

I'm surpirsed no one has mentioned the Miata.

It isn't very fast, but it's the most fun car I've ever driven.

One day people are going to look at them as classics. And I just happen to have a first year. ;)

I tried to fit into one at the Auto Show once. It didn't happen. Not made for 6'6" people.

I wouldn't call that being a ricer at all, I would take a ricer to be (this is exaggerated here) some guy with a civic LX automatic with a body kit, exhaust tips, a huge stereo, and so on...

All of those things I have add some function to the car which is the reason I have them.

Headers- help performance some, mainly a step toward reinforcing the engine so I can get a turbo

Intake- like 15 hp
Exhaust- like 15 hp
Lowering- better handling
Rims- lighter (yea, I guess there's no point to them, but they are white and go with my car, so whatever)

Just my thoughts..

You only like that because of Gone in 60 seconds.
My favorite car is the McLaren F1 LM. It's the fastest road car out there. can go 0-100-0 in 11 seconds. 0-60 in 2.9 sec. cost:$1,200,000. only five were made. looks fast while standing still. just see the picture

Perhaps not but they're just fine for us travel-sized (tiny) women. Hee, hee, hee, hee, (insert about a minute of evil cackling here).
