the metal BOV/DV on the subarus are good enough. I remember looking at my friend's evolution and that thing had a plastic one .. so yeah he might be a good candidate.

Im wondering if you have to be asian to be a ricer cus i bought an 06 and went straight to motorsport to get BOV put on

Actually the only reason i got a turbo car was so i could put a blow off on it.

And if i use it as a deterrant cause it scares unaware people do i get points fora good secondary use to jump out of the rice bowl if in indeed i can be considered a ricer since i am not asian

First mod BOV = Rice

I did it too, but i took it off when i realized its pointless unless you are pushing like 16 or 17 + PSI.

And like brucelee said it makes your car run like crap. I went back to stock. But when i get my 20G Turbo, Helix 860cc injectors and a new fuel pump..........BOV here i come.

ricer
1063 up, 98 down


(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
