Hey guys, I had to post this. I was driving to work this morning and I saw the worst ricer all year! It was a P-Plater in an older Hyundai Excel or Sonata, it was blue (looked like stock paint, so not resprayed), it had a spoiler that was as high as the roof, a huge cannon on the exhaust, and clear altezza tail lights. Nothing on the car looked right, the backend looked like it was tacked on and a bad attempt at photoshopping. Sorry I didn't get photos, as I was driving at the time. Just had to post up what I saw though! Oh gotta love it![]()
yeah there's a few of them here too, I just pull up beside them and wipe the grin from their faces with my busted ass V6 with stuffed transmission

on the ticket i ticketed off big exhaust, supid stickers, and some other things, but under 'other' i wrote bucket seat for the passanger but stock for the drive,

Hehe yes that's definitely unique. Just like the Hyundai that I saw, each to themselves though I guess. Whatever twirls their beanie...
What is one mans trash is another's treasure, just like what is one man's roof rack and table legs is another's spoiler...![]()
why do ppl tease jap cars? whats so bad about em. most of there cars will leave our cars for dead... even sum stock jap cars that look like a bucket of shit will blow a hsv.
Haha, where is the mr T impersonator to go with it?Originally Posted by VL Berlina 5speed
Well like I said each to themselves, it's all about what everyone personally likes. I wasn't teasing it because it was a Jap car, I was teasing it because what they did looked so out of place it looked like a 10 year old's photshop attempt at redoing the backend of a car. Nothing that they put on the car matched, the clear (silver back) Altezza style tail lights were the worst part on a car that colour and that style, then to go and put on a spoiler as high as the roof and an exhaust that was about as wide as the wheels (literally as wide as the wheels, it had stock wheels from what I could tell by the width). My opinion is that it looked too weird, and I wanted to share that![]()
you really think a stock excel or lancer or any of those pissweak cars could blow a hsv? .........rightOriginally Posted by kritical

He didn't say which cars, you just pull out the lancer...and excel isnt jap crap...so cannot be compared. For the record, i know of an excel that runs low 12's and is very much a sleeper...i love how people always assume certain cars are just slowOriginally Posted by stocky

this isnt a ricer by has anybody seen that vt with all those weird stickers on it ive seen it a couple of times around where i live.
for those who don't know it look pretty wack
We got rep back, yaaay!
they were the only two car names i could think of at the time. sure they can go fast if modified, but im talking about cars that are commonly driven by p platers, just like the original post mentionedOriginally Posted by minux

Not trying to be a smart a** but Hyundai's are Korean, not Jap ..Originally Posted by TheKMan
People tease and hate Hyundai because the Excel was their base model and it was not that good. Hyundai then bought inferior engines designed by Ford & Mitsubishi in their early years, and had a range of unreliable engine's.. Once Hyundai used their own engines in the later model Sonata's, Grandeurs, Tiburon's & the more top of the line variants, they have produced some great cars for their price. The new Sonata is awesome by the way - Just don't like the stupid dash...
The early V6's in the Hyundai Sonata's was the Mitsubishi Magna V6. A car that is also hated by most. I was lucky with my Hyundai 4cyl as it was based on the EVO/VR4 4G63 Platform ... It was more reliable and when it was in my car from 1997-2004 the only problem I ever had was 1xClutch replacement, and the wheel bearings in one side at the front.. The car was really driven, and took a lot of punishment ...
Then I put the Mitsubishi 4G63 Turbo into her (basically a straight SWAP) and put out over 238kw's @ the wheels... The only problem is that it is FWD ... But what can you do ... Anyway ... Rant over now...
Hehe no worries, my mistakeOriginally Posted by 89vncommy

Yeah Hyundai have put out some zippy cars, I don't have anything against them, except when someone practically defaces one by doing things like that to it. Surely they must have preferred it stock
Haha that's just ridiculous!!! Look at that exhaust! Why.... Just... Why...

But still id rather own the hsv...nothing like a rumbling V8!
just remember fellaz these "rice cars" are someones pride and joy ... you may not like it but hey other people might think that ur cars are shit too :P
take it easy and if its easy ....take it home!
Yep that's exactly right. Everyone to themselves, but still, from my point of view some of the things they do to them are funnyOriginally Posted by missmcudd
That's just my opinion
Love that A-Team van!![]()
Perhaps if you did an actual copy of one...maybe using an Aussie Bedford because it's a similar shape to the TV van, black painted wide Sunrasia steel wheels, jacked up in the arse, decent stiff suspension and a proper paint job with, of course, chrome side pipes...that might actually be cool and bring back a lot of nostalgia value at shows...![]()
Dude, there are some nice jap cars out there.Originally Posted by kritical
Skylines, sivlias ect that when done up right look the part and go just as hard. Saying that, i blew off a mates stock NA s13 silvia and his girlsfriends R33 in my old 3.8l VN.
People either buy a GTS skyline for the price of a HSV or put the same amount of cash into it to produce a mean machine. Comes back to the same old HP cost $$$$
Who wants to spend that cash on an excel.
Its the guys and girls in the stock excels that go around flogin honda badges that ruin it for everyone else.
Like a 90kw excel give or take 10kw with exhaust can blow a hsv LOL
And if they do beat it 99 times out of 100 the guy in the hsv wasn't trying coz fuel costs to much
