I don't think I ever will, but I am curious.

My mods are full exterior/interior minus seats. Front/rear lights

i say that helps, since im the same, but id say more if you have the suspension, brakes, and engine, then its a type r IMO...it has the performance


in my case, i will be missing the head lights, engine/trans, and interior crap...but as of right now i dont care, im replacing that Si badge on the rear of my car with a Type R badge when i drop my engine in...ill have the suspension, brakes, and exterior to match...i havnt decided if i want the full interior but i dont feel that is what makes a type r, a type r

It either is a Type R or it isn't. If it isn't then don't put it on there. If it is then it will already have the badge.

i say do what you want. who's anyone to say it's rice or not. people have different ways of how they want their car to look/be so by all means go for it if you want it. whenever threads start up here about opinions on picking mods (especially appearance) for the car most people usually say "it's up to you".

I don't pretend its Mugen though. It does not have a Mugen badge. I bought it because I thought it would do the job of keeping the back end of my car planted when I'm braking from 130+ going into turn 10 at Road Atlanta. Not because its Mugen.:mwink:

Well, red carpets are rice, changing your shift boot is rice, red steering emblem is rice. Bodykits are rice. Stereos are rice, back seats are rice, A/C is rice, lol. All emblems other than stock are rice. CF is usually rice. JDM bumpers are rice. Anything that doesn't add horsepower is rice. But sometimes we like rice. If it is fun to you, then do it. My fuchsia window tint is totally rice, but I still like it.

If you want to put a Type R emblem on your USDM ep3 then go for it. I am sure it will fool some people. I have a EuroR emblem (which has nothing to do with my car) so I can't exactly criticize here. I just think "euro R" sounds cool.


http://www.boomplustoys.net/images/JDM%20Honda%20Parts%20Cars/Accord%20Euro-R%20Rear%20Emblem.JPG

But to be honest, what looks the best to me is no emblems at all anywhere. The sleeper look.

I don't know if it's the badge itself that's rice, or just the 'Type- ' nomenclature itself.

"It is a Civic of the RACING TYPE, GWARBUDULARMURGAMURGA, RAWR!!!"

Actual Type-R's might be rice, depending on your definition.

its false advertisement, which is technically all rice is.

speaking of, back when the pontiac vibe first came out, pontiac had a production ready version on the show stand with off the autozone shelf GT-R badges. when mitsubishi brought over the GTO, it was renamed 3000GT out of courtesy. yet GM can blatantly rip off someone else and its supposed to be ok.

Technically, a 240 is a renamed Silvia. Japanese auto makers like to give their cars American (English) names, but the U.S. distributors thought it was corny to car named Silvia.

I mean sure
but technically a civic si is a renamed civic type r too.
an s14 240 and an s14 silvia are very different cars, they have different headlights and different motors
just like an ep3 si and an ep3 type r are very different cars, with different bumpers and headlights and motors. regaurdless of if they share the same chassis, they're different cars in my opinion.

You are not getting the point. The original 240 here in the U.S. was suppose to be a copy of the original Silvia, but the distributors here had to remodel it to make it fit in with the current models of the time. They didn't know how well it would compete with the other car manufacturers and went cheap with the car. The 240 is still known as a Silvia to automakers even though it doesn't even resemble the Silvia in Japan.

The Si here was never suppose to be a copy of the Type R and was suppose to be a copy of the base model EP for economical/sale reasons.

Well I guess that makes it slightly more acceptable, but in my eyes its still a completely different car, it comes with a different motor and its styled different, thats a big enough difference, regardless of intention, to not be allowed to call a run of the mill 240 a silvia.

I had the same discussion in some german Honda forum....

the red Honda badge stands only for a sportive car...not more....that it is a Type-R is defined by the "TypeR" badges on front grille and tailgate and by the stickers on side skirts..

This was the final conclution we had about this problem...and TypeR drivers accepted it, too....

I know some Type-R driver, which removed the Stickers and TypeR badge on tailgate. He replaced the tailgate red h badge with the normal chrome looking one like i had give on my tailgate ( he would giv eme his red one, but broken when removing it)...

But we changed our grille's to each other...so I get some full CTR grille...but removed the TypeR badge...this would be a stupid "Shiner" when on grille stands TypeR and then its powered by a brutally D14 engine...:heh:

But he has now some real shiner....a SSM CTR with a look of some normal available "Civic Sport" with optional CTR tailgate spoiler ( yeah...you could buy here some sportive Civic with look of TypeR)

haha truth! imho if it has type-R badges then it better have rolled off the assembly line as a type-R. OR it better be a complete conversion, motor, exterior, seats, et al. Otherwise the only reason the badge is on their is because you think it looks nifty, which constitutes rice.

My Si rocks the Si badges because well...it's an Si.

i was going off of my type r brochures i have collected and the 04/05 type r one and the new euro type r one said that the red badge was for the type r and the formula cars...:noidea:

I think some of us are becoming like the people who fix up 1957 Chevys. Some say keep it 100% stock, and other people don't care about looking stock and just go wild with it. You've got the purists and those who like to modify things.

to be honest I never really understood the term "rice" Everyone mods their car on their opinions and thoughts. Modding is all just creative expression. Some people will like it, some wont. Its all about what you want your project to become of..

It's a derogatory term for Japanese Import cars, the word "rice" denotes negatives such as:

large exhaust canisters - aka "fart cans"
excessive decals - in many cases decals of products they don't actually own
aerodynamic pieces - usually oversized wings, pretty much anything visually that does not look subtle
false badging - installing upper model badges like "Type R" for Honda's or "///M" for BMW's. This particular modification is most common because it's rather inexpensive and easy to do. Some call it "fake" and some say it's a form of flattery to the upscale model their trying to emulate.

Honda says this about the type r "The type R represents a considerable performance increase over the base model." If you don't have at least 300hp, don't do it unless you can will races. A shit load of people will want to race you thinking you are a ricer.

Whats wrong with our Si badges? in Japan they import the Si often and usually getting the newest model.. so even if our car isnt type r its still unique since the whole world got the type-r and no si . .. .

but yeah you will get harassed by your type r badges on on a usdm vehicle..

What kpro said. Yes, it's that bad. The k20a isn't significantly better than the a2, which is the EDM "Type R" engine. I wasn't even speaking on the Type R topic, but it struck me as funny that somebody suggested you can't put a Type R badge on an EP3 until you're making 300 hp.

agreed, it is rice.

heres the way i've always looked at it;
When a man wants to be a woman SSSOOO badly, he will start acting like a woman and dressing like a woman. This is what I consider 'posing', because he clearly is not a woman. But when a man goes through the surgical procedures that changes his sex and then acts feminine and dress like a woman, it is okay because he now is a woman.... sorta.

So, if you own a SI. Don't badge it and pose like you have a type-r, unless you make the transplants.

LOL, so would you ask that "woman" out now that he's technically a "woman"?:tehehyper: LMAO, anyways... I think if you do a decent amount of type R conversions then you can put the type R badge on. Even though it's STILL not technically a Type R, but whatever it's your car. If you just put type R badges on and haven't done anything to make it at least look like a type R it's Ricey. I'm going to put the red H badges on my car, but not the type R ones. I dont' think those would make it ricey. I'm fine with having Si on my butt. Too much money to convert...

But they are Integras...how is that rice? I don't think the red "H" is rice, but the "Type R" badge is. What's the difference you ask? Well, one is just a red "H" and looks nice. The other says "Hey, I'm a limited edition track/street car...well, in spririt". :)

Also, the lights, body kit and seats don't make the CTR...it's the motor and suspension. Get those pieces, and I'll see that as a CTR.

So would having cdm sir badges be considered rice? Also who exactly defines wat is rice and wat is not?
This subject is completely opinionated but to me rice is rocking a bulky body kit that has no function or a 10 foot aluminum spoiler mounted to your car with woodscrews etc... etc..... I think the term rice gets thrown around too much and should be reserved for the true riced out cars that make you want to puke when you see them; Not for an ep with type r badges.

Honda Integra emblems on a RSX is JDM. Red H emblems are JDM. Toyota Bb emblems are JDM. Inspire emblems on an TSX are JDM. Type R emblems are JDM, cause the car is not avaliable USDM. Thats the whole point!

My car has never been called Rice ever and I rock the emblems. Also what about the Red H then. Why wouldnt that bew considered rice?. I only think the Type R badges would be rice if u dont do anything to ur car to atleast make some kind of replica and you use the emblems to complete the "type R look". If u have a bone stock SI and you put type R emblems then i would say thats rice
