When is ricing a car ricing...? Is it as soon as you lay a finger to change the stock setup of a car? Or is it when you add that monstrously shitty metal wing onto a Civic (heh, front wheel drive and a rear wing...)
Personally, I'm taking my 1993 Nissan NX and changing rear drum brakes to disks off of a Sentra I found in the junk yard, lowering it an inch and a quarter for stiffer handlnig, reducing weight by removing the rear seats and other unnessential parts, better shocks, and basic cosmetic things like whiter halogen lights in the front, a fresh coat of paint/clearcoat, and interior design shit like putting in the leather seats from a Miata, and detailing the dash slightly with the color of the car, (along with electronic mods, like blue and white LED's for accent ligthing on all the instruments). After all that, I'm possibly doing an engine swap with another 1.6 liter from a sentra (same engine) but completely rebuilt with preformance/lighter weight shit. I mean, is that ricing? Considering I'm paying more attention to performance details rather than shit that amkes the car look gaudy. I don't plan on adding a huge body kit more than some small sideskirts, nor do I plan to have chrome rims.. (Lightweight Aluminum baby...) and I sure as hell refuse to put stickers or stupid designs, or *gasp* SPOILERS on it.
Has anyone else done similar projects where they make their car preform, and make it look good and SIMPLE...?
Also, what cars do you guys have anyways? Pics posted would be rad, I'll have some up soon.
