[ikayto]

In a couple of months i'm going to find a job and start saving for my car and start becoming a ricer ^__^.

I was just wondering what direction some of you fellow gear heads are going or to some of you people out there what direction would u go in.

Ok, well first, dont buy rice, unless it really tastes good  and trust me a 4cyl car doesnt taste good.
Buy something with style and class, and that is clean, not these neon colored cars with stickers and 3 foot spoilers that have no functionality to the way the car drives.
Depending on how much money you have, look at buying a nice mid 90's e36 bmw. Tons of class and def. a panty dropper. They usually run around 5-12k depending on what options and stuff you want.

^^ e36 ^^

If that is still do much, look into a older bmw. 84-91 e30. These are very strong and fast cars with some work. and only about 1-4k depending how much you want to work on it.

^^ e30 ^^

BMWs are just better built cars and will run alot longer with more power, and are alot funner to drive, especially through turns. No need to stopping, bmws are built for the twisties and just take the turn punch the gas and go.

If you still decide to go with rice, which i wouldnt recommend, dont make ur car shitty. keep it clean, no gay ass colors, no unneed spoilers and huge body kits, try and keep it simple. As for exaust dont get the shitty ace exaust that sounds and looks like you put a ding dong coffee can on the back or ur car. And as for the cool air intake, dont waste your money on that eather. 1 or 2 hp isnt going to help much at all. and your not going to get any cold air, one foot from your engine, so its pretty much pointless.

Just dont build a gay car. 

Sorry, but I gotta reply to this one. Don't impose your "idea" of style and class upon other people. Believe it or not, people have their own opinions on what style and class is. You obviously love BMW's, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, when you start dissing other makes and models of cars because they are from Japan or they run on 4 cylinders, you are crossing the line. Therefore, lets see how you can back your uneducated opinions. In what ways are the M4x and the M5x series engines in E36 BMW's better than say.. a SR20DET or QR25DE? Have you heard of Nissan's VQ series engine or Toyota's 2JZ? Did you know that the 2JZ in STOCK form can put up over 600+ RWHP RELIABLY? Did you know it has been pushed over 1100? Did you know that the SR20DET has been swapped into numbers E30's, but not the other way around? What?!? You say? A 4 cylinder in my beloved BMW?!? Don't be stupid.

"BMWs are just better built cars and will run alot longer with more power, and are alot funner to drive, especially through turns. No need to stopping, bmws are built for the twisties and just take the turn punch the gas and go."

That is just an arrogant statement. You honestly think that a e36 or e30 sedan will out handle say a... Miata, 350Z, Corvette? No need for stopping? Built for twisites? Yes, a 4000lb car built for twisties. No need for the brakes? Turn, punch the gas and go? Obviously you have never driven in "twisties" or you have watched too much Initial D and think you can just drift through the corner. You certainly have something to learn about driving if you think you can enter a turn at the same pace as a straight. Lift the throttle before entering, and accelerate after you enter the turn? Perfect way to initiate a drift. Don't be stupid.

I have a E36 323is in my driveway and my S14 240sx. I can tell you now, stock for stock, the S14 will take the E36 with no problems in the "twisties." Modified, I can pull almost 1g on the skid pad, run 11's reliably, AND get 28mpg.

If the poster does decided to go with "rice," who are you to judge for him what colors are "gay," what body kits are "huge," and what is or isn't "simple." You might not like a color, but perhaps he does. If he decides to build a car, he is building it for himself, NOT you. If he likes it, then let him do what he wants. Do we tell you that hockey is a dumb sport? Do we tell you what clothes to wear or what music to listen to? No. Don't tell him what to drive. Don't tell him what is classy and stylish. Don't be stupid.

You obviously know nothing about aftermarket parts either. Although some of the parts are just gimmicks, most parts are actually proven performance enhancers. Don't waste your money on a cold air intake? Do you know what the #1 reason why intakes make power? Less restriction. Having cool air is just a side benefit. A properly designed cold air intake will not take air "1 foot" from the engine. A proper cold air intake will take air from outside the engine bay. If that is not possible, it will take air from inside the engine bay, but there will be a heat shield to block some of the radiated heat from the engine. If you think cool air intakes are so horrible, why don't you take a look at most stock air boxes. Most stock air boxes have a tube that runs from the front of the car to the box. That would be a factory cold air intake. Don't be stupid.

Maybe driving your parents car has sheltered you from all the other great automobiles in the world.

Give me any amount of money that you would spend on a BMW, I guarantee I can build a car that will out handle, out accelerate, out brake, and out corner said BMW.

Cars are like ice cream. Don't let anyone tell you what flavor to get and what to put on it.

BTW, if you need a car to "drop panties," either a: you are an idiot that thinks a girl with any kind of substance will go with a guy based on his car, or, b: you completely lack any type of social skills.

I'm not trying to hate, but I hate arrogance.
