custom mods for your "rides"? This should give you some perspective. ;-)

Those will end up on eBay.

Okay, tell me:

What's with the "Scoop" at the bottom, and what's with that box that has 2 hoses coming out of it and going into the engine area?

Zimphire · Jul 17, 2005, 06:14 PM

The scoop at the bottom is so he can get to the finish line quicker man!

And those hoses obviously hook up to his turbo charger.

Those guys should use their money to buy themselves some good taste.

That's because its not a Photoshop job.

Where's the timeline pic. All these images are really old.

And about those hoses, the intake is under the hood, it goes to that 'intercooler', then back into the engine. A ghetto fabulous way of getting cold air into the engine, but kinda stupid, because had he just put a box with an intake in front, it'd be cold, and RAM air. But rice doesn't need logic.

Well there's something funky with those pictures. (Beyond the ugly-ass cars, I mean.)

I agree, many parts of them don't fit in right. The reds cars mufflers looks fake.

My thought exactly.

suvsr4terrorists · Jul 17, 2005, 07:09 PM

Well, I hate to break it to you design people, but all those pics are 100% real. It's just so retarded looking your brain is trying to come up with a reason, but the sad fact is they're legit.

That's the perfect turn of phrase: "It's just so retarded..." Absolutely spot on!

By the way, the shadows under the red car show the mufflers just the way they should (or shouldn't) be, and they are the kind of shadow that's pretty hard to fake: it's a combination of shadow and reflection on damp pavement. Real. Ugly and stupid, but real.

What relevance does that have to those cars and their owners being stupid?

And kappa would be an Italian soccer company whose equipment I have used forever...

I believe you are wrong, i would think thats it's actually an oil cooler.... the size of that hose, would not make ANY sense with an intercooler, plus, wouldn't you think that if they even had a turbo, they would mount a HUGE intercooler too?

K. You misunderstood. He doens't have a turbo, he's NA. That isn't an oil cooler. Oil coolers, even for huge trucks, air fairly small little things. That's an intercooler, but instead of using pipes to hold massive boost, it's just for a naturally aspirated engine.

Look at this:

It looks like an intercooler, but it's just a cold air induction system. If that guy had a turbo, he obviously wouldnt' be using heater hose to hold the boost. Hence why it's rice. It's just a small intecooler connected to an NA engine with rubber hoses. You're taking this too seriously. It's rice dude. None of these cars are fast.

I did not misunderstand, I realize they dont have turbos, and I still think they are OIL coolers...

that hose is not NEAR the diameter needed for air, if they wanted a fake intercooler, wouldent they try and make it flashy???

you know what I dont fully understand.... WHY RICERS MESS UP THE ALIGNMENT SO MUCH...

next time you see a lowered car, look the camber angle, (the amount of lean the tire has) they have a huge degree of negative camber... yeah this will have some effect in the twistys, but on the road it will just wear down your tires A HELL OF A LOT...

I would imagine it's a side effect of lowering single a arm suspension systems, but still I thought most cars had suspensions that would not allow for wheel travel like that...

this annoys the hell out of me...
