The nickname "ricer" is derived from the term "rice burner" which i believe came about in the late 70's during the oil crisis when asian cars started becoming more popular because of their good gas mileage. many red...

    what is the difference on our cars. i know 50 oz is stock, is that better/worse? what is the advantage of either assuming you are replacing a motor/trans? thanks :D

    pics of intake cover

    well i was looking for something to do besides sand my intake, so i pulled the cover off and polished/painted it. It still looks kinda crappy because i tried to rush it, so i will have to do the paint over. :shrug:

    progress on intake polishing PICS

    so far i have been just sanding, using every kind of disc, pad, wheel, and paper you can imagine. once i get all the powder coat off, and am satisfied with the modifications, i will begin working my way up in sandpaper numbers until i get to 1000. then let the buffing begin!!! :nice:
