Redefining "Ricer"
 

Japan Meet

How long till this fad hits the US?

The same country that brought us drifting, no big surprise here.

God help us

Oh, Japan.

I am proposing a new verb.... Damn, look how he "Norwooded" that car! He's gonna piss off the honda crowd for sure!

me fibergrass rong time.

those are definitely some interesting aesthetics. mom gave you her dead corolla and what have you done?

I wonder if those tailpipes jangle the mcdonalds drive thru chains hanging above...

oh boy i can't wait, it will be fun to point and laugh, especially when the cops pull them over.

what we consider ricers here are the cool kids there, what we just saw is just plain dumb everywhere

Seriously? That's "Bosozuku" or some damn thing, it's all the rage, deliberately tacky over the top goofball mods. Been around a day or two. Noobs.

Shit like this has been going on for years, I'm surprised it took this long to hit the net. Japanese people probably hacked and deleted the files before out of embarassment.

Bosozuka, IIRC, and yep it's been around for YEARS.

yep, nothing new by a long shot

Easy Rider meets JDM.... great....

This begs the question -- would we be cool if we drove around in Japan in cars that were actually fast? And how the hell could a ricer be cool? Japan has invented all the weird shit that ever existed.

I dunno, the German's are responsible for their fair share...

I like how they locked the thread on clubroadster....

I think it's a novel thing... and yes it's been around for years

Do they make their own parts, or is this stuff available in the aftermarket?

We need to drop another bomb.


NOW!!!

omg, all the perfectly fine sexy r31's, gone, wasted, thrashed...
what is this world coming too?!?!?!?!?!

you guys are looking at this all wrong, this is an investment opportunity. someone with fabricating skills needs to get in on this before all the other jdm moguls do

Well, it was locked cause it seems it had been posted 2 times already...and everyone was "Wow...that is cool." in the other threads. I about :barf:

So much for form follows function. :confused:

Seen stuff like this on H-T...terrible.

that's not funny. i do like that random kid dancing by himself as the cars were rolling by tho....

otherwise, this is way old news. the Mexicans in my neighborhood have most 'em beat.

Bosozuka, is actually a style that much like the "VIP" style is um...well gang related actually. Not to say everyone who enjoys such aesthetics are in a gang, but it comes from the need to be unique etc. It's a live representation of very outlandish "scifi" television and anime for them. I mean, hell it'd be like looking at hotwheels cars and deciding that's what you want your car to be. Certainly it's not to realistic, and servers no great purpose, but it's what gets them noticed and gives them more control of the "design" of their cars. On an odd note, most of them are rocking legit as shit wheels.

i want to do this to my miata.
