When someone convinced the poor little misguided youth that rice was nice, that was the down hill slide. This is by no means a one time cycle. How many shackled up muscle cars did you see through out the 70s and 80s.. What about the van craze. Ricers are just the new generation of rednecks.
Most of the people on honda-tech are idiots, but there are some people and companies that really know what they are doing. Here are some of the more common combinations. Can't put it to the ground but damn from a roll they are lethel. I didn't even look for the Supra dyno charts, their always in the 800-1000hp range. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1069197 678whp and 402ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=864155&page=1 417whp and 309ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1010357 404.5 hp and 295.5ft-lbs & 393whp and 292ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1051135 514whp and 309 ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1033030 505WHP and 328 ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=941983 447whp and 319 ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=980524 542 hp and 615 ft lb's Mitsubishi EVO http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=943522 376whp and 252ft/lbs http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=920022 462whp and 328 ftlbs He cheated. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=891131&page=3 430whp and 327ft/lbs All from a SOHC D series motor. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=861581 Multiple cars at a dyno day. http://www.theoldone.com/forum/topic.asp?T...SearchTerms=H22 not cheap but NA prelude engine http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t...ight=turbo+four EAgle Talon Whether you like rice or not there are some very fast cars and some major development going on on that side of the fence. There are many people just in town that look like rice and then there are the ones that look stock with a little lowering and some wheels that are very fast. Would flat walk away from most of germnay's best offerings in the straights some coudl do it in the corners, not many. Too bad road racing is not a major interest for these kids. Perhaps we could see a revival of the old days. |

Something else not mentioned is the money these guys spend on these rice burners to make them fast. I know guys who have spent over 10k on just the engine mods. By the time they get done they are into these cars for 30k+ for what? Something that will never sell. I wouldnt buy one for that kind of money. If you want a fast ricer, get one that is made that way from the factory like the NSX or the S2000, that car will hold its own and the NSX will even hold its value. I have always liked them. Same with the twin turbo RX7. Nice cars and very fast.
