Friend's civic project...rice or no?

[Makenzie71]

Something he's been working on for about a year...lol...

[yellow911turbo]

looks like a duck from the back.

[Makenzie71]

lol...I've old him the wing looks horrid on the car and to get rid of it...doesn't listen to me though. The front needs work, too. Hes let his slacker bady-man friend do the molding and the guy never finnished it.

[azasadny]

Scheiss!!

[widebody911]

Wasn't that featured as the equivalent of "beaver hunt" in

[bluebullet]

hes been workin on that for a year? im sorry but it has to go. Its gonna look like every other civic on the road when you get done with it. So that big 'project' to stand out...well you wont. You could on the other hand...keep it all entirely stock looking, and do a really clean coat of paint (no wild colors), JDM motor and all that JDM stuff. Then again that area of the industry is starting to get played out too...but then again hondas are played out.

Tell him to sell it and buy a 944


and yes....i'm a cynical bastard

[ncirito]

Some can appreciate the work, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to most its just rice.

[CJFusco]

ummm i think it's the DEFINITION of rice

I've got a Civic Si that I use as a daily driver. I browse the Si boards a bit for a change of pace once in awhile and those boards are amusing too.

No offense intended, but if a person posted something like that on the Honda boards, they'd run you out of the place. Even the Honda boys don't like this stuff anymore. Just drop it 2", add a high performance exhaust, intake, header, software update, tasteful rims, and wax the s**t out of it and you're done. These goofy body kits just don't cut it anymore.

Sorry. Definitely rice.

[Saintly]

Not to mention the poor quality of the install... the wing isn't even on straight!
It's a poor clone of all of the other rice.

[Jay H]

Even those clear tail lights are just plain too '1999'... Those are not in style anymore...

[john70t]

The paint is flat to absorb lazer and radar, and the body kit is angled to create deflection.

Umm....other than that, why is the battery not behind the passenger seat, and why is the air cleaner sucking in hot underhood air, and....???? never mind.

4" fartcan to annoy the neighborhood and to rob horsepower, check.
Ill fitting plastic body, check (LOVE the gas cap mismatching the body kit)
Too broke for paint, check
Assclown aftermarket lights, check (and they clash with the 'stealth' body)
Uber-rice body but steel wheels, check
NoSpeed plug wire kit, check
Hot-air sucking POS K&N filter, check (gotta admit, I had one of these on my Corrado)
Romper-room engine cover paint job, check
Strut bar and chopped springs on otherwise bone-stock suspension and brakes, check

I'm afraid it's not just rice...it's the dreaded Low Budget White Trash Rice. The look is not complete yet, though: They've got some "spinner-style" 14" chrome-look plastic wheel covers just in at AutoZone - go get some of those and the car is done!

Yup

[osidak]

Hey that car is perfect. Just drizzle a little soy sauce on it and it will be complete.

[juanbenae]

i have always said if you've gotta ask if its rice, then its rice.

[TerryBPP]

Should be served next to chicken.

Lemme guess: your buddy's a 18 year old suffering from a mild case of acne?

[Serge914]

Does he have the blue neons under the floor ?

[CJFusco]

there is an IDENTICAL Civic hatchback that belongs to an employee at the local AutoZone. The only difference is that he has a sticker on the windshield that reads: "Don't Hate Me, Race Me"



I want to go in there and tell him to secure some time at Lime Rock; I would be more than happy to race him.

Wonder how long it would take to lap him?

[AFC-911]

It took him a year to do that!! It's not even worth taking pictures of.

CJFusco,

I'd love to know how long it would take to lap him!!!
