I was browsing the web just now and this is what I found. The definition of riceboyz.
The original URL is here.
This is an extract of a riceboy definition:-
If you have ever driven a car on a public road (or if you've seen The
Fast and the Furious) then you've no doubt seen them. Overstyled and
loud, riced-up cars are cars which have been "decked out" with a huge
wing, an exhaust tip the size of a coffee can, chrome wheels, and a "body
kit". These cars are made to look fast, but most of the time are not. The
term "rice" originated from the fact that this was originally done to
Japanese cars, but now any car can be "riced", from Camaros to BMWs.
Usually, however, they are some form of front-wheel-drive, four cylinder
car, such as a Honda Civic or a Dodge Neon. In other words, something
that isn't actually fast.
There are three elements of rice. The first: Attitude. Riceboy is
typically cocky and into "modern machismo" (translation: He's a white guy
who pretends he's black). They wear baggy clothing, backwards turned
visors (which are sometimes worn upside-down, hell if I know why), and
listen to slow-moving hip hop and call it "speed music". Ricers are
enamored of the urban street-racing culture, which is really where the
ricer "style" began. The values of the riceboy subculture are almost
counter to those of society.
The second element: The "performance mods". As I said earlier, riceboy
typically drives an economy car, often a 10 year old hand-me-down from
his parents as a graduation gift. A stock Honda Civic performs
like...well, a stock Honda Civic. Which means really damn slow. Riceboy
doesn't have much in the way of money (and what he does have was spent on
those ever-important visual "mods"), so he buys the simplest bolt on
parts. These will invariably include any combination of the following:
*A "cold air intake", which is often placed in a location so that it does
nothing but draw in hot air and decrease performance.
*An aftermarket exhaust which utilitzes the stock header but has a near-
hollow muffler with a large diameter tip, ensuring no increase in
performance but it will make a sound roughly akin to a long, rattling
fart.
*Sometimes when questioned, riceboy will list his spark plugs and spark
plug wires as a performance modifications, to make his car sound faster
than it is.
*Chrome engine dress-up kits and aftermarket oil filler caps, which do
jack ***** for performance but make the car look really zoomy to anyone
looking under the hood.
*Cut factory springs, which means worse handling performance and a harsh
ride, but it makes the car sit really low, making it appear as though
riceboy has purchased aftermarket springs.
*Strut tower braces are also usually installed, and while slightly
beneficial to performance, riceboy only installs them because you can see
them under the hood and they look really "tight". They're also typically
chrome-plated, or stainless steel, so they'll be shiny.
Finally there's the most important element of rice: The visual
modifications. Even if the owner isn't a stereotypical riceboy and the
car has genuine performance modifications, this alone can make a car
rice. Here are a few popular riceboy "visual mods":
*Altezza taillights. These taillights feature chrome or carbon-fiber
backing with circular taillights in the middle and a clear lens over
them. They're named after the Toyota Altezza (sold in North America as
the Lexus IS300), which was one of the first production vehicles to use
them. These lights look remarkably like infected boils.
*A large wing will almost always be bolted to the trunk, which is
supposed to increase downforce to the rear wheels at higher speeds for
improved handling...even though the average street race is usually just a
1/4 mile "drag". The wings are usually made of unpainted aluminum, and
look like something front an 8 year old's Erector set. In short, they're
really hideous.
Speed-part decals are a must for riceboys, whether they have the parts or
not. Stickers like "Wings West", "Hooker Headers", "APC", and "Neuspeed"
are plastered all over the car, often when the owner of the car doesn't
even know what half of these stickers mean. Sometimes they're arranged in
what we anti-rice people call a "shopping list", that is, they're all in
neat little rows under the side mirrors.
*Riceboy usually has purchased a set of aftermarket wheels, 17 inches or
more in diameter. Sometimes they're chrome wheels, since they're flashier
than plain argent. The ones who are more thrifty with their money buy
imitation chrome hubcaps that slightly resemble aftermarket wheels from a
distances, but are quite obviously hubcaps when you get within twenty
feet of them. Sometimes they have dust covers made to look like drilled
brake rotors. After all, who needs more stopping power when you can just
look like you have it?
*Painted brake calipers and drums. Ricers love to paint their brake
calipers a noticeable color (such as bright yellow), because they show up
through their aftermarket wheels and look zoomy. But if riceboy can't
afford to do (or maybe is to lazy to do) a four-wheel disc brake
conversion, he'll paint his rear brake drums the same color as his front
calipers. This only serves to draw more attention to the fact that he
still has drum brakes in the rear.
*Body kits are a must. Any riceboy who doesn't have a body kit is trying
to save money for one. A body kit is a collection of parts purchased for
the purpose of replacing every plastic part of the car's body with part
that looks similar, just with more scoops and huge "cosmetic" air-ducts
in it. Riceboys do this to make their cars look different from the other
cars or to make them look more "aggressive", but in the end they all end
up buying the same few body kits and rather than aggressive they make the
cars look weird and ghastly.
*Interior modifications are usually no more than a really large
tachometer bolted to the dashboard (even though the one in the instrument
cluster is functioning perfectly well), an aftermarket stereo, and dash
trim painted to match the outside of the car. Sometimes a set of
lightweight "racing seats" are used in place of the stock seats, but any
weight advantages are overshadowed with the 200 pounds of stereo
equipment installed to play the hip-hop "speed music" at over 300
decibels.
hahahahahaha. I have seen may ppl like this in KL.
