Re: best question to ask a ricer... (DB5000)
is it true that JDM went out of buisness? 
(i have actually heard this question before from a local ricer)

Hell ya!
S2000 swap?!?!?!?
Since not a lot of ricers know about what in the IS300, I'll tell them the truth, and tell them i have a 2JZ-GE motor from a Supra.

"Yeah its got intake turbo nos supercharger everything it's fast."

Re: best question to ask a ricer... (94HybridEX)
I always ask them how much horsepower and torque those altezza's or "euro" taillights add 
And when having a conversation, just throw in stuff like "So, you gunna swap that D16 with a B18 or B16?" and then watch them become very puzzled, then look at you and say "yee dog, im funnin' to do that in a lil' " hahaha
O yea, and try asking them what Vtec means...although some of them tend to think its spelled VTECH, LOL

How much did my repainting my car add in terms of horsepower?
How much do real-deal JDM wheels add in terms of horsepower?
How much horsepower did swapping GS-R seats into my car add?
How much horsepower does adding ITR 5-lugs to your car add?
How much horsepower did that C/F hood add?
See my point? The "cool" mods that aren't "ricey" aren't always functional either. It's not a good argument to try and snap on a "ricer" for Altezza lights by asking him how much horsepower it added, because if he was smart he'd ask you how much horsepower your JDM lights added.
Do I like Altezza lights?
Hell no, but it's becoming more useless to try and rip on those who own them because it's wasted energy. How about focusing that energy towards heliping someone else, or your own car or yourself?
Sorry, but the whole "ricer" thing is annoying. The term itself is lame. It's what the rednecks used to call anyone who drove a Honda back in the day, so now we're using it aginst each other?
Can we not just move on and get over the fact that people are buying crappy parts?
