I used to follow that scene back in the early part of it... which was in the 80s.

I'm surprised that there's no pics of the banners that they used to mount to the sides like calvary horses with flags.

If nothing else, you can't accuse them of lacking creativity.

Hondasport19 · 05-17-2004, 04:19 PM

wow, thats nuts. The amount of lights on those vans......I do dig some of the cars, but most of them are

Asuka{eve} · 05-17-2004, 07:06 PM

Now that is rice.

05-17-2004, 07:07 PM

some of them r okay....

rs8001 · 05-17-2004, 11:09 PM

It just keeps getting more and more nutty... I hereby swear everything I own from now on will remain bone stock! I want to distance myself as far as possible from this crowd.

clonmult · 05-18-2004, 06:57 AM

OMFG ... those guys are nuts. Someone knocked all the common sense and taste out of them a good few years back, and these are the results. Definitely a good laugh though!

nash · 05-18-2004, 07:19 PM

Now I'm not a supporter or rice, by any means, but I think this stuff is pretty cool. It's like those classic cars that people keep all shiny and vintage. I guess I associate 'rice' with half-assed, tasteless additions/modifications or trying to look 'cool.' I guess these guys are just into over-the-top-ness and wackiness.

Scorps · 05-20-2004, 09:59 AM

some people should be shot at birth

bundy · 05-21-2004, 09:09 PM

i love how Ayumi Hamasaki even manages to get her face on the side of cars... i mean, she's everywhere else so why not!!??

i think those exhaust pipes, esp the yellow star one, are bloody hilarious... good on em.

amge · 05-22-2004, 07:50 PM

Man this brings back old memories.

Back in the early 80's Shakotan (term used for lowered cars with extreme camber) cars were the craze. With load exhaust flashy lights, and BIG ASS wings.

There was a movie called Shakotan Buggie that I remember watching in Japan when I was a kid. This was the real first The Fast and the Furious.

HeAtHeN · 05-22-2004, 07:53 PM

What the hell.....

Most of those are pretty lame.

Haha, are they making up for something?

big_bubba · 05-25-2004, 02:50 PM

What IS it with weird oil coolers/intercoolers on the outside? That's not "cool" is it? (it ain't here!).
As for the exhausts.. I mean... <head explodes>

What he said ^

Freaking retarded.

drewh · 06-06-2004, 02:30 PM

as always the jap vans are mad...
I wonder whether the amount of plastic shaping is trying to get them to resemble gundams?

BigTruck1956 · 06-06-2004, 09:25 PM

i enjoyed the hella old skool datsuns. Kind of a breath of fresh air from all the goddam riced civics we have here

leftturn109 · 06-07-2004, 02:16 AM

Dude this is not a smart idea to post this stuff yor going to give our stuped ricer guys even worse ideas

skier · 06-07-2004, 09:57 PM

I totally lost it when I saw those huge exhausts. hahahahaha

BooRadley · 06-07-2004, 10:06 PM

I personally like the external intercoolers. It might actually catch on here, like external exhaust pipes, superchargers, and air cleaners have in the past. Makes you remember the "machine" part of the car.

It's equally as stupid but at least it looks really long. I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
