What is a Rice Boi ?

A Rice Boy is a term used to describe an individual who enjoys modifying Asian made - specifically Japanese made automobiles, also known as Rice Burner's.
The meaning of the term rice burner is specifically used with the prefix rice to give the impression that the automobile is modified to an extent where it provides high performance capabilities, but this does not necessarily mean that it is capable of any high performance whatsoever.
In some street racing circles, or even entire regions of the American and British Continents., the term rice car is used exclusively to describe Asian-made vehicles, modified or not. However in recent years, particularly in Europe, as more types of cars began being used as a platform for modification, including German, French and American-made cars, use of the term rice is no longer restricted to Asian-made vehicles.
"Ricing" (a term usually not used by the modifier himself) a vehicle is meant to emulate the aesthetic work of independent automotive car tuning companies who modify more than just appearance, and to give an appearance of greater ability than the car actually has. Ricing is generally looked down upon amongst people who perform engine tuning and other performance racing modifications.

Since the opening of the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds” in 2000, the popularity of street racing and car modifying have increased, and has given rise to a number of related movies of that genre such as Fast and Furious, Cars, Top Gear and other game related titles such as need for speed.
