    So I guess that's why some fellow members here are called rice "GURUS", they seem to know w/o any doubt on what is rice and not. Besides the HUGE number difference on the post stats shown, if you back read along this thread you can clearly see who are the teachers or what others might call gurus.

    The only sad thing I notice is the over use of RICE, rice this rice that. Out of it's meaning already.
    yah, I agree because in the other hand the term "rice" is so wide, there once's a car also called a "rice car" built by a japanese tuning community here in the Philippines, it's says " the rice car was not built for car shows" and then I guess if it is not for the car show, well it is built to kill the rice. And yes hindi nga ako nagkamali nang sumalang yung kotse na yun sa CIS, It raged and killed it's competitors on the track.

    sana mahanap ko yung picture nun, simple lang yun look niya pero loaded pala.

    then I suddenly remeber the post of bro. Benzimer's harnessed article from the web...

    "4) A term that Americans use to describe Superior performance asian cars out of jealousy. These cars are products of Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Lexus, and Acura. Jealousy comes from the superior looks, engine, reliability, street cred, luxury in which American cars are clearly inferior to. These cars are driven by any class of people. Some of these cars may be heavily modified for looks, performance, or both."

    Let me air out what is not being mentioned...

    We are just curious what makes you (along with renzo, etc) one of the self-appointed rice "gurus". It's not that you have proven you are capable of modding your car with great style or taste.

    Keeping your car stock just means you haven't really "gone out" and shown your style to the world at large. Modding one's car is not only about performance or style but also individuality. The result might not to be in the everyone's taste, but like fashion, there is a style that suits everyone.

    So why would we (owners of modded cars) be judged by people who haven't proven anything of their own?

    Given that the rice "gurus" have mentioned they drive stock cars, who are they to judge modded cars?

    Just like cooks being judged by culinary chefs, or new talents being judged by acknowledged artists in their own fields (ala American Idol).

    Its not that they are someone like Atoy or Chip Foose that they have proven they know what works and what doesn't...

    Alam mo, GH. Wala akong sinasabing rice guru ako. In the first place, I don't consider myself one. Kahit magbackread ka pa. Hence, I do not have to prove anything to you or to anyone else in this community. If some people looks at me, or us, as one then the hell with it wala akong pakielam.

    Am I judging you? Or any modded cars for that matter? What happened to the word " opinion "? And what are you trying to point out? For us, owners of barely-stock vehicles to shut the hell up and not state our opinions regarding other vehicles regardless of its form? Parang ganun pinapalabas mo, ser, eh.

    Sana sinabi na sa una na " ang mga walang napatunayan dito ay bawal na mag-voice out ng opinion nila ".

    You're a moderator, I respect you. But demanding for a picture of my car just to prove you or whoever person it may be something, eh, iba na yun.

    At kailangan ba super modded ang kotse para ma-differentiate ang rice sa hindi? Ang hindi maganda for your taste sa hindi? Ehe. I don't think so.

    Ang kulit

    Di nga kami "Rice Guru".

    I modify, but not too much kasi top of the line / most expensive variant na naman. Mostly OEM din yung kinakabit ko para decent looking parin.

    Oy renzo, cool ka lang. Hahaha.

    Inulit ulit ko na kasi, eh na hindi naman tayo nagpasimuno nung pangalan na RICE GURU.

    Given you are putting YOUR opinion on this thread, you should be prepared to defend YOUR opinion why you can call it such or something else. What gives your opinion so much weight? What credentials or even experience do you have that you can say so and so?

    You don't push and push and not expect someone to shove you back some day.

    BTW, I am not asking your car's picture but I am curious what kind of car you drive that gives you "balls" to ridicule other people's property so openly with feeling of impunity.

    Ridicule? So ibig sabihin nga if you have experience in one thing you have the right to put down other people's car? Parang ganun point mo eh.

    Ano ba pinupush ko? Na hindi maganda ang bodykits sa vios? So what, it's my own point of view, GH. Wala kang magagawa dun. And kevin3000 is my friend, he won't be offended in what I am posting.

    Kung ganyan pala ang point of view mo, na kailangan may " background " ka of something before you can give out your opinion about something else, eh di dapat pala hindi na pumasok dito sila tidus, jave, jhnkvn and the like. Kase kotse nila, hindi modded. Yet, they post here & state their opinions. Now, bakit di mo naman kinu-question yun mga opinion nila? Coz you share the same opinions? Tapos biglaan nalang na may opposite POV tayo kaya ginaganyan mo ako?

    "Kia Pride".Starting from mid-1987 for the 1988 model year, Kia began exports to Canada under the "Ford Festiva" name, with United States sales commencing by the end of 1987.Ford offered a single 1.3-liter B3 four-cylinder engine and three trim levels: L, L Plus, and LX.The two base models featured a four-speed manual overdrive transmission, with the LX upgraded to a five-speed unit."

    I modify too. And my taste preference is function before form. I might not agree with other people preference of having useless wings or bodykits on otherwise mechanically stock vehicles but I don't feel the need to come out to ridicule them so openly.

    No... not put down, but to call an educated/experienced opinion on something.

    There is a difference. If your point is to educate someone into having better taste in car modding/styling, ridiculing someone is NOT the method you should be doing. You should be teaching him why or why not to do certain mods.

    Like I mentioned, if your intention is to TEACH someone, there are better ways of doing it than what you and your "friends" have been doing.

    Like the local Ford Laser and Ford Telstar. Those were Mazda 323 and 626 rebadged as Fords.
