Well I guess I am a ricer myself! I hate that word.

**MugenEJ6AutoX** · 05-16-2008, 04:08 PM

Mathematical equation to see if your a ricer.

Add the total cost of you exterior mods with the cost of your sound system, add 100 for every inch your rims are over 16inches.

Add the total cost of all of your performance mods together. Add 100 for every pound your rims weigh less then 13 pounds. Real carbon fiber is included [body kits, decals, neons, sound, tint, and paint are not performance mods]

Then compare the two, whichever is higher tells you which you are.

I could not tell you how much money I have in my car. I have visual and performance.

**8695Beaters** · 05-16-2008, 05:45 PM

I think the trick is to balance performance with looks. Take a Ferrari: they are hella fast and look sexy. And they aren't rice. Same goes with the JGTC cars. They spend about 1/4 of their budget on aero and paint. Besides balance is required for any good car. Balancing suspension with engine and chassis. So I think a good body and clean interior should top it all off. Now I don't mean to go all out with neon and a giant stereo, but some creature comforts are always nice (like A/C and a full interior).

I think PT's car is a balance of looks and speed. Although the only pics I've seen of it are with no bumper, on jackstands, and needing paint.

yeah she is always under the knife. I got another stack of parts for it too. I think I will never be done with that thing

**MugenEJ6AutoX** · 05-16-2008, 06:07 PM

See, then your the space in between. Your a showcar person, thats atleast how i see people who care about balancing looks and performance. You are the rarest of people, people tend to care about performance or looks. Everyone makes a few mods in both areas, but one cato always wins.

**PrimeTimeV6** · 05-16-2008, 06:13 PM

I like to have people look at my car and say ****. Then if they are on the side of it think its slow. Then I just walk the dog! lol

**MugenEJ6AutoX** · 05-16-2008, 06:45 PM

Exactly. Thats the point of tuning. I like looks, but performance always comes first for me..

**PrimeTimeV6** · 05-16-2008, 06:56 PM

Same here to an extent. First mods on my Accord was an AEM cold air and then a 65 shot of ZEX N20. LOL

**MugenEJ6AutoX** · 05-16-2008, 07:07 PM
