For example with the mx6 i really like the factory sleak lines of the car.. i dont want to alter the shape one bit, im all for some nice wheels and basic interior upgrades (wheel, knob, seats) but thats about it... other than that i prefer to increase the engine output whilst retaining drivability Brandon696 The Street Racing Super Trooper Group: Members Posts: 338 Member No.: 34 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onFeb 28 2003, 11:20 PM QUOTE (Droopz90IROC @ Feb 27 2003, 11:43 PM) If by show stopper you mean looks + Performance then definatly show stopper. But if your asking if we support RICE then i think the answer is fairly obvious lol. by a show stopper i mena, nearly all appearance, with the bare minimum of performance upgrade ( dropped bagged kitted chromed out civic, with just an AEM intake) and you guys know how i feel about rice. theres guys that can have all appearance, and theyre car look great. even ifthe thing dont even have a damn engine. but its how the driver presents the car. like one guy in town here. hes not a nice as hell looking civic. but the thing that makes him a ricer, is a 'NOS' sticker...... the thing is he doesnt have a nitrous oxide system. so he is a ricer. lol Brandon -------------------- 'Go Forth and Teach the Ways of the Six' www.mx6.com Anything you wanna know about the six Anything you wanna know about the RX-7 www.rx7club.com 1994 Mazda MX-6 redneckmx6 I see you...

My car is heading a bit down the 'rice' path, with new paint and probably wheels after that. The paint was a neccesary thing though, and I decided that I might as well do it fell, and i think it will look a tad bit wierd with new paint and standard wheels so I think they will be next on the line. Sleepers are a hell of a lot of fun though. My brother owns a R31 skyline RB20det with a few mods, goes damn well. Nice shock for people who dont know what they are looking for. 90tx5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 142 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 1 2003, 12:08 PM i think the best way is to buy a car with already nice lines, and just spend on the engine (high hp). but a subtle kit is alright i surpose. if they r going to have a full mad kit and just some shitty in take and no mods at all than for sure it's a ricer. i hate them i am keeping my tx5 as stock as it comes and i will be blowing all the cars in townsville out of the water * exept stavas and brownie(10s 808)&(11s rex) -------------------- the f2t is a powerfull engine, but only to those who can handle the power! timtx5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 32 Member No.: 143 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 1 2003, 09:28 PM 90tx5 - are you zane? I think i know a couple of other quick townsville cars in the build or which dont go out too much. What about the black GTR-13 and lanes GTi-R? Im sure there would have to be few quick 8's lurking around too? 90tx5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 142 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 2 2003, 11:27 PM yeah it is. but i am looking at having the quickest fwd car in town, maybe by the end of this year. i like the look of your fresh paint job i also know of 1 of my friends that has a white tx5 and it will be a toough contender, as he put a stroker kit in it and is know a 2.5l -------------------- the f2t is a powerfull engine, but only to those who can handle the power! timtx5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 32 Member No.: 143 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 3 2003, 07:51 AM Yeah, you wont have much contest on the front wheel drive scene, that i know of. I havent seen anything run any quicker than a 14.7 at the drag strip out here and that was a yellow integra type R. I think one of the quickest cars that comes and goes is a gold 626 that used to be out here, but is now out west or something I believe. Did have 171kw's at the fronts, but that was with stock ECU and injectors, which I believe now are gone or in the process of going. I hear he is aiming for 220kw's at the fronts. 90tx5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 142 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 3 2003, 01:33 PM true a 14.7!! well i won't have much compitition then . well u will have to start modding your car up then fool, i am getting a small garrret bb turbo and a custom front mount soon from bobs. and with my new rims i hopefully should pull something in the 13's -------------------- the f2t is a powerfull engine, but only to those who can handle the power! timtx5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 32 Member No.: 143 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 3 2003, 04:36 PM Yeah, like I said though, if that gold 626 returns look out. What size turbo you getting? I think Bob knows about the gold 626 too as he tuned it. Have fun on the slip and slide that is townsville drag strip, i was spinning to 70 on 195 A539's. It is a very very poor track. Who you calling fool anyway? mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 3 2003, 07:15 PM 90tx5 keep us posted on your turbo upgrade.. i hear the gt28's off the s15 are a good turbo (rated @ 280hp or is it 320hp), alternatively you can go for the gt25 turbo for less lag even tho none of them should really be laggey... timtx5 the new paint looks great so far! cant wait till see the complete job!! QUOTE Side rear of car, rubbing strips will be going back on. does that mean what we see in the pics wont actually see the light of day getting back on topic.. i really only consider rice a car that has alot of performance equipement that doesnt actually increase performance combined with a car that has no actual performance upgrades that necessitate those lil bits of equipment, ie adjustable GT touring wings, big shift tachos, nos stickers with no nos i suppose a lil rice is ok.. just not on my ride
