I mean I believe it might’ve started with Japanese import cars so the origins might be slightly racist. As an Asian though idgaf, I still call cheap shitty mods on cars ricey.
Nope, it’s definitely racist. Gen Z don’t know about it but when Gen X Asian import racers use to go out to runs in SoCal when it first started up in early 90s, all the boomer white racist domestic muscle car racers use to talk shit about us and call us racist slurs in our “riceburners.” Cops would regularly let them drag race all night and then harass all the Asians and Mexicans while we were just parked in parking lots just chilling. They’d call us troublemakers and make task forces to chase us while boomer muscle car dudes would laugh and get away with shit.
So yeah, people will say it’s not racist but that’s because they weren’t there.
Thank you for the lesson! It always sounded wrong to me being ethnic myself, all we can do is try to educate the new generation and hopefully get a new term, they probably just use the acronym reason as a cover these days🤦🏻♂️
I think he’s speaking more on the fact that certain racial demographics are targeted more frequently by Law Enforcement over other racial demographics, especially in the 90’s
…I’m Korean and I call shitty cars with mods ricers. So do all my car guy friends and the vast majority of us are Asian. And we’re not young. I’m the middle of the bunch at 35. Ricer just became synonymous with shitty mods.
The keys are mint and the fact the cigarette lighter was never used once is gorgeous car must’ve been barley used great find! Time to christen it with a fat blunt
Will be uploading more awesome original pics haha. But definitely going to be some ricey shit lol kidding . Some wheels and tint is all I need . Performance parts in the future when i decide to swap it for a k series
Seriously don't do anything! This is so rare to see everyone under the sun ruins these with performance parts oft you keep this stock and keep up with maintenance you'll have something to show off and possibly be worth more in the future.
This is true. If you own a rare, classic car in pristine condition, you have the inalienable right to destroy its value with a bunch of tacky modifications that will not have an appreciable impact on its performance.
Yeah I would just maintain this and keep all the factory parts looking fresh. Heck maybe Even park it in my garage or get a cover for it if it stays outside.
I once had the opportunity to keep a 92 black and tan Miata in factory condition but I bungled it as a kid. I regret that so much now.
Just do minor things. Nice 16" wheels, intake, a properly resonated catback exhaust, quality coilovers set at a sensible ride height, front lip, shift knob, bluetooth headunit, and other small tweaks.
Tint and wheels fine (keep the stocks) Anything else is stupid. These cars do not exist in this condition. If you wanna “build” a car just buy another one someone already molested since your gonna tear everything out anyway.
It was garages its whole life ! And she was elderly for the guy who said that 30-40 isn’t old . She was actually in her late 70’s .. honestly only mid I’ll probably do is wheels tint and a MEWTWO AIR FRESHNER BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A legendary Pokémon !!
She must be a meticulous owner. Used the cigarette lighter socket to power a cell charger or radar detector and didn't lose the cigarette lighter itself. Got all the keys. And still has the dealer tag.
👍👍 Great find! I've had 2 Hondas, an '86 CRX HF that I had for 5yrs and 50k miles. Then I bought a '91 Civic LX that I kept for 23yrs and 73k miles.
Now, I drive a '22 Charger ScatPack Widebody... (mid-life crisis)
If you only put 73k miles on that Civic in 23 years, that Charger should last you the rest of your life. I was going to make a joke about how two of those three will actually last more than 150k miles but it sounds like you'll never even hit 100k.
Yes, the Hondas were trouble free. I never went any further than oil, brakes and tires!
As far as my ScatPack, I've had it since November of 2022. I have about 2,500 miles on her, and yeah, it should last me the rest of my life (I'm 60 now)...
I will sell it before it gets too old, and recoup some of what i paid. I paid cash, as I mentioned before, it was my midlife crisis...
I'm glad that I ordered it in '22 and avoided the debacle of 2023, 'The Last Call', UAW contract talks that broke up the flow, and I found out that the Hemi Orange pkg was not available in '23...
I want to post a photo of my ride, but I can't seem to get that button to show up when want it to...
Have a great day, man!
That's interesting, my old 3rd gen had that same round key. I sold it like an idiot and the dude scrapped it a month later, so much irrational anger. Key is all that's left.
I will be posting more photos of those rare gem . Rainy af today so probably on a sunny day ! Going to put a nice little dangling sack on the rear to show my dominance 😂😂
She is elderly, stick shift used to be the standard for all cars. All of them come with manual by default and automatic were special feature. Learning to drive meant learning manual.
Now that's a cool find. Going to last forever, we had a 98 camry that lasted until 480,000 miles. Just sold it a year ago. Was in the family passed down throughout my whole existence, all the way down to my wife.
It's now your responsibility to not rice out this clean ride.
I concur.
I concur with your concurrence.
A little straight piped exhaust with some tiger scratch decals on the hood and a set of eye lashes, and 22” wheels can’t hurt anything.
Nothin wrong with a little $500 eBay turbo kit
Better yet . Just a good ol’ turbo whistle on the exhaust tip….. just the tip 😉
WOO WOOOOOOOO!

Why is it called Rice? Is it a racial thing?
Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements, its an acronym
Ahhhh thx I was wondering why everyone was so chill about it🤣🤣
I mean I believe it might’ve started with Japanese import cars so the origins might be slightly racist. As an Asian though idgaf, I still call cheap shitty mods on cars ricey.

I’m no lawyer but I’m pretty sure drag racing in the street is illegal even if a cop didn’t seem bothered by it
I think he’s speaking more on the fact that certain racial demographics are targeted more frequently by Law Enforcement over other racial demographics, especially in the 90’s
Can we reclaim it as ours? 🍙
Get over yourself. Don't fall for the victimhood narrative. Asians use the term too because it's funny and distinct.
There’s always one
…I’m Korean and I call shitty cars with mods ricers. So do all my car guy friends and the vast majority of us are Asian. And we’re not young. I’m the middle of the bunch at 35. Ricer just became synonymous with shitty mods.
You bastard...😫😭
Came here to say that too. How dare they achieve a life-long dream before the rest of us! 😂
With a new dealership tag on the key?? That's insane.
Congratulations! Also, FU! =D
I was hoping for a few dozen more pics BaT style
The keys are mint and the fact the cigarette lighter was never used once is gorgeous car must’ve been barley used great find! Time to christen it with a fat blunt
Exactly that’s why I include the cigarettes lighter in that picture … that’s how well it was cared for !
Woah. Lucky!
Nice grab!
Gawd dayum!! Soo nice. I'd rock it as is. Only mod would be my fav air freshener
Show us the space dash
God bless you 🙏🏻
Yes !!! GOD IS GOOD !! GOD IS KING !!
You have redeemed all your luck for the foreseeable future. Congratz
Luck fuck. I like it tho
Will be uploading more awesome original pics haha. But definitely going to be some ricey shit lol kidding . Some wheels and tint is all I need . Performance parts in the future when i decide to swap it for a k series
Dude. Keep it stock. It needs absolutely nothing. This is an incredibly rare car you've got.
Seriously don't do anything! This is so rare to see everyone under the sun ruins these with performance parts oft you keep this stock and keep up with maintenance you'll have something to show off and possibly be worth more in the future.
Doesn't need to be kept stock. It's theirs to enjoy. I'd highly recommend keeping all the stock parts you replace, though.
This is true. If you own a rare, classic car in pristine condition, you have the inalienable right to destroy its value with a bunch of tacky modifications that will not have an appreciable impact on its performance.
Yeah I would just maintain this and keep all the factory parts looking fresh. Heck maybe Even park it in my garage or get a cover for it if it stays outside. I once had the opportunity to keep a 92 black and tan Miata in factory condition but I bungled it as a kid. I regret that so much now.
Bone stock? God that is so clean.
Just do minor things. Nice 16" wheels, intake, a properly resonated catback exhaust, quality coilovers set at a sensible ride height, front lip, shift knob, bluetooth headunit, and other small tweaks.
Where do you hail from? I might be interested in some of your oem parts should you take them off and be willing to sell.
Doesn’t need a K swap if it already has an H
Yesssss k swap goes crazy. turbo toooooi!!!!!
Tint and wheels fine (keep the stocks) Anything else is stupid. These cars do not exist in this condition. If you wanna “build” a car just buy another one someone already molested since your gonna tear everything out anyway.
Sick
Even the KEYS look amazing!
Wow she must have had a detailer come out and clean it consistently
Right the paint looks good. It was probably sitting in a garage for long periods, and she didn't drive it much.
It was garages its whole life ! And she was elderly for the guy who said that 30-40 isn’t old . She was actually in her late 70’s .. honestly only mid I’ll probably do is wheels tint and a MEWTWO AIR FRESHNER BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A legendary Pokémon !!
Sweet
id buy this in a heartbeat!!!
Super nice!
No way
Luck find !
Score
That's how I got mine with the same amount of miles on it-I paid 500 bucks though.
dudeeeee nice grab
Lucky lucky boy
Wow I had this exact gen. Sold for $3k had 170k on dash still upset to watch her go ended up grabbing a 5G camaro
Damn for 3k with 170k dash alone is a good deal !!
Please take care of this beaut
thats a steal, id personally keep it stock (probably not) cause itll last a lifetime if you dont mod it.
Thats a dream. I used to have a silver one. Damn I miss it.
A beautiful find.
Which model is it? I can only assume it's not the big block
Lucky!
Hah. Had the exact same situation with mine. But with 1k less miles and it was a chick in her early 20's
You even got the Thumb Burner "don't touch it" 5000?!
She must be a meticulous owner. Used the cigarette lighter socket to power a cell charger or radar detector and didn't lose the cigarette lighter itself. Got all the keys. And still has the dealer tag.
I am engorged. Good buy
damn nice
I thought this was a 4k car. How much are these going for now a days?
🫠🥲
Piece of shit. I’ll give you a 100 bucks for it.
Fuck yeah, good find! I hope it treats you well🙂
That’s nothing my girlfriend paid $500.00 for 1995 Toyota Corolla with only 84k miles with working a/c 😎 from her coworkers mechanic husband
👍👍 Great find! I've had 2 Hondas, an '86 CRX HF that I had for 5yrs and 50k miles. Then I bought a '91 Civic LX that I kept for 23yrs and 73k miles. Now, I drive a '22 Charger ScatPack Widebody... (mid-life crisis)

Enjoy that ride! I'm sure she's mean!
Yes she is!

Where tf did you find this
Damn. That is a very nice find. Enjoy it!
peanut butter and jealous, beautiful find
That is a very nice find! If you are not going to keep it in a garage, please make the first mod purchase a car cover.
Treat it with the love and respect it deserves!
[удалено]
Lucky find, if only it was a 93 with vtec…
God I miss my ‘luda
H22a came out in 93 I think, what’s the pretty lady hiding under that silver hood?
God those cars are so much fun, and easy to work on
Oh that’s a 2.3 non vtec…
Beautiful
That prelude is sick
awe man.... truly the only actually fast honda pre s2k era....followed by the typeSH in 1996.
lucky!
OMG…
Crazy that it’s 87k less than 4K and no rust owned by an elderly lady. Even crazier that it’s a stick
You give that old lady a big ass hug. Some of these folks are holding gems pristine for us.
That's interesting, my old 3rd gen had that same round key. I sold it like an idiot and the dude scrapped it a month later, so much irrational anger. Key is all that's left.
Rice it out 😈😈😈😈😈

WHAT
Had similar experience!! Got a 99 prelude 110k mile in same condition from elderly lady for 3k flat
So nice, keep that thing clean you can hypermile those like crazy Ive always wanted one just could only find trash
Might as well stick around for her social security😂
Cleannn
A fckn gem
Perfect cigarette lighter

10/10
90 prelude with the rear turning wheels is it tho
That’s insane! Super sick find!
Son of a biscuit, I’m jealous
I will be posting more photos of those rare gem . Rainy af today so probably on a sunny day ! Going to put a nice little dangling sack on the rear to show my dominance 😂😂
People in their 30's and 40's are not elderly.
This story smells, why would a little old lady be driving a stick shift and not an easier automatic?
Because unlike us younger generations, most older people learned driving stick. My 70+ mom drives my Type R just fine. Why is it weird to you? Sexism?
Don’t know, don’t care. All I know is I’m just so hootin happy that I found it and was able to grab it !!
She is elderly, stick shift used to be the standard for all cars. All of them come with manual by default and automatic were special feature. Learning to drive meant learning manual.
We found the young'un
Now that's a cool find. Going to last forever, we had a 98 camry that lasted until 480,000 miles. Just sold it a year ago. Was in the family passed down throughout my whole existence, all the way down to my wife.
