First of all this isnt a general Import bashing thread, its a general ricer bashing thread.![]()
I swear half of these idiots think they are all gods or something.
Man whenever I go to Boostcruising or some other import based forum theres always some tosser bragging about how bad ass he is that he can beat V8 Commos or Falcons in his riced up Integra or something.
I know that there are Imports around that will give Commos and Falcons a serious hiding but how is anyone suppose to take someone who "Allegedly" beats V8 Commos and Falcons in riced up Pulsars,Integras,Lasers,Lancers etc seriously?
But the thing that annoys me about these tools is how they brag about beating stock Auto N/A VLs, I mean I love VLs and all but Autos arent all that fast and these idiots act as if they just beat a Enzo Ferrari.
I think the government should just ban ricers instead of performance cars because these idiots are more likely to die from ego stroke than actually wrapping themselves around a pole.
End rant.![]()
Well in some cars the autos will get you over 1/4 mile faster (read: ferraris etc) because their change system is so good, however a VL isnt a ferrari.
Having said that...
There are a lot of ******** commy drivers as well, and before i continue i am going to appologise for the members who get offended at this but it needs to be said...The people who give commodore drivers a bad name are the "omg sik u leh" VL and VN drivers who think they are king dingaling. It just makes me cry (well not really), who do thy think they are, they are as bad (or worse) as the ricers that are around.
The way i see it is regardless of the car you drive you drive it how the car should br driven (if that makes sense). Throaty v8's should idle like a lion at the lights and make heads turn on takeoff, v6's should generally be driven quietly because they are the younger brother of the v8s.
Performance Jap cars (read: WRX Sti type cars) have their place, they sit just bellow the v8 in the sense that they are often very load and have the performance to back it up. The lancers and tincans should be quiet, never seen, never heard.
I lost my train of tought...
Shit, i hate when that happens. Basically there are ******** commy drivers as well.
/2cents
Edit: And based on the car you drive im guessing you're one of those "sik u leh" VL drivers? If so i think your opinion of ricers is biased because its the same as the holden v ford battle.
Nah im not one of those "Sik uleh VL drivers" im also aware that alot of Commodore drivers are d***heads.Originally Posted by maxy0987
Its not being biased, its the truth and it pisses me off just as much as Commodore drivers acting the same way.
I think the main reason why it pisses me off so much is they label all Commodore owners as morons that think they can beat everything in their Auto VKs,VLs and VNs, then after that the ricers come onto forums and brag about how bad they are that they can smoke stock V6s, its the same shit as what the d***head Commodores guys do, then they try to make it out as if they are in the right.
I know by me making this thread it makes me no better but come on, doesnt it annoy you the slightest bit that these ricer idiots think they're innocent by bagging on Commodores and Falcons when really they are just as bad as the Commodore and Falcon idiots that do the same?

I also visit a couple of Skyline sites but thats as far as I go.
i can't believe people go off at people who like to have ricey cars it's there taste
No no no you are missing my point, I dont give a shit if they 5 inch tachos, bodykits, neons or whatever on their cars, its their attitudes and bullshit claims that they never lose to anything that pisses me off.
I had some wanker in a Suzuki Swift sit right up my ass once when I was going for a drive so when I pulled over the moron decided to act like a hero and floor it past me only problem was the d***head missed 3rd gear so he looked like a hell big idiot.
Another time I was up driving near a mate's house when these 2 guys in a purple Excel came out of a street like a bat out of hell and sat right up my ass reving the shit out of it to make me go faster so I just slowed down more and more.
Like I said before I have no problems with Jap cars, actually its not really the cars its the idiots that drive them.
doesnt give them the right to act like an ignorant ****headOriginally Posted by my1stVL

yeh, i just love dragging off pussy ricers, all show and no go![]()
why do people get so sensitive about these things?Originally Posted by GLD-086
i just laugh at them when they pull up beside me at the lights or i read a post on a forum somewhere.
i really think there is more in life to worry about than what someone is posting on a forum
don't read them if it upsets you so much![]()
I hear what you're saying but im also talking about in real life aswell.Originally Posted by greengopher

Without failure if I go for a drive in my VL and I pull up at a set of traffic lights P Platers in a Pulsar or something pull up next to me they want a run because I own a rather attractive looking VL.
Its happened a few times and I just let the pricks go for their life and I just watch them make fools out of themselves.
Also im not a angel I do floor it sometimes when im in backstreets and I have done a few screechies but one thing I dont do is drag off at the traffic lights, if I want to drag i'll go to the strip.
GLD - dont get me wrong, im in no way implying that you're an idiot or one of those 'ricer' boys, i was just reminding everyone that its not just jap cars that have idiot drivers.
I agree with you on the fact its the driver not the car, and that goes back to what i was saying about driving the car with respect to what the car is. Some jap cars have the right to have a go at a set of lights but others dont.
As for the idiots to tailgate/intimidate they are just idiots regardless of the car.
But i also agree with greengopher when he says if it bothers you that much dont read it. If you are sensitive about their 'man i can be this yo' then dont read their forums, haning out on a skyline forum is just asking for it...
O man i gotta find that pic, where is it, gimme a sec....

heh
i just look at them and laugh.
it always gets a reaction![]()
true, but some times they are too pathetic to even make the effort to laugh, so i just shake my head. pisses 'em off even more
Surprisenly in the time ive hung out at Skyline forums it isnt that bad.Originally Posted by maxy0987
Boostcruising is the place it all happens at because everyone there own all types of cars so conflicts between ricers and bogans happen quite alot.
There was this one dude who said that he beat a VL Turbo off the mark in a stock Excel wtf? lol fair enough if the Excel was modded but a stock one beating a 150KW VL Turbo? lol I think someone is stretching the truth.
or the VL driver wasnt racing. Or he missed a gear, or was under the influence and had slow reaction time, or maybe his monster tacho blocked the view of the light when it turned green? Could be 100's of things![]()
lol I have a monster tacho in my VL 5 Speed and it doesnt block my view of the traffic lights.![]()
But seriously those types of stories I just think to myself "Man this guy is either drunk or he's just making shit up to make himself look better".
Jeez another sook about how lame (.....insert type of driver here) are at (.....insert forum name here). What is the purpose of making a thread here? I don't get it, honestly who cares, last week it was the ford guys, the week b4 4wd's I spose we're due for a whinge about riceboys againThese threads here look even more pathetic than the ones everyone whinges about.
What more can I say, cry me a river![]()
Agreed..Originally Posted by Julie
And those ricers aren't as bad as you all make them out to be.. My mate's got a manual SS and he likes to race it a bit..
He said he can barely keep pace with a lot of those WRX's and Evo's.. I've read a lot about the evo's and things in magazines, I certainly wouldn't mind having one..
A guy from work reckons his ricer (Silvia) handled awesome and way better then a commodore, he crashed. I was following him, saw the whole thing.
He dropped it into 2nd, went through the round about hit the curb, lost control, snapped a tree in half and landed on the other side of the road.
You cant compare a commodore to a turbo. Its like comparing an apple to a banana.
N/A Commodore vs N/A Falcon <---- bring it on
turbo vs turbo <---- bring it on
just my $0.02 worth.
Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.
speaking of silvia's...... stock silvia 5 speed with exhaust..... VN 5 litre, lsd, 3 grand stall converter...
the silvia wanted a drag![]()
i dropped to the ground laughing when my mate smoked him lol
well its all a matter of opinion as far as i see, sure some people hate the whole rice thing, im not real big on completely trickign a car out but i dont mind the occasional good looking bodykit on any given car.
realisticly its like BMW drivers, nice cars, idiots behind the wheel.
owning a stocker v6 the only thing i would have the balls to take is anothe stocker. my car is for doing the speed limit, not for racing to it.
