Cookin’ Rice
The Honda Civic, sold new to grannies to go to the shops in once a week, then bought second hand by boy racers due to its high power / low insurance combination, is probably the street car of the ’90s. The remaining ’80s and ’90s Civics on the road today all tend to look like this one; big exhaust, induction kit, big bumper bodykit and phat alloys. Ruined handling and refinement too, but that’s not important when you’re 18. This awesome Technic Supercar incarnation of the Ricer’s favourite is the work of LegoMarat on Flickr. It features a working 4-cylinder turbo engine, FWD, suspension, steering, and folding seats.
Phaaaaarp!
Are you sure you should be using the term “ricer”? It seems a bit racist.

Hi Ray, it’s an American term for US drivers of modified imports, and now also even modified domestic cars, which are… er… all show no go. As far as I know it is not aimed at the people living on the continent that created many of the vehicles used, rather at the drivers of the vehicles in the US, but I’m happy to be corrected.
