So what exactly is rice? A wing? A shift light? Might as well leave the car stock.

 

Huge wings are ricy, altezza tail lights are ricy, logod wheels are ricy, the car stock is ricy imho, needs evo 7 tails at the bare minimum.

So no one should buy a wing if they like it cuz everyone would call him a ricer? That seems pretty childish.

 

The car comes with a wing stock, its functional, adds downforce(cancels some lift) and I think suits the looks of the car pretty well but to everybody who doesnt know that it just looks like some huge *** wing attached to an econobox, which means the masses define our car as childish.

I like the wing on some cars I don't on others, I'm not right and your not wrong just voicing my opinion.

As childish as that might seem thats the way it goes.

Well, I think people shouldn't be concerned with someone calling them names cuz they don't like a part on their car. Iv'e seen some dumb **** on cars but, to each his own. I had a wing on my old eclipse. This was before the fast and furious came out. Everyone thought it looked great. Then the movie came out and all of a sudden I became a ricer. They would talk **** at stop lights but most knuckleheads at the time couldn't keep up with 400hp. Alot of shat used to be cool until the movie came out.

 

if you want one then just buy one.. after all its your car.. I have been thinking about putting one in for a while what I finally have decided to do is install this one:http://item.express.ebay.com/Automet...mdZExpressItem
because its small and I can mount it inside my AC vent and just set it to 7400 then it will almost never go off or be noticed unless i'm at the track where I should have my eyes on the road the whole time

 

gtech pro, does 1/4 mile HP and TQ lateral gs and shift light, and all you have to do it plug into your cig lighter. times and shift poiints are dead on with my turbo timer

 

So if I was Chinese, would that make my car fried rice?

 

No. But if you were japanese driving an evo would be pretty normal and you would just be like a silly mustang owner over here, another guy with one of the domestic sports cars...

I didn’t think much in appearances that a Shift light would make, as long it is Not homemade and tacky looking. However to my surprise that there is this type of discussion about the”Ricy” look. As to now I am enlighten and this would help all in the decision making. I am new to this way of conversation and that I would like to learn from your experiences, however the candid conversation; though it borders to offensive remarks like “Chinese fried rice” it is a bit offensive. Some of you have a Shift light and to my opinion for now, it seems like it would be a Bonus to have such a Tool, and this would enhance as an ad to a higher level of operating this “Best handling car”.

 

Thanks for the Info! I don't knowingly take it up that High, but getting on the freeways at times with one eye peel on the road and the other glancing onto the little Tach; I see that it heading up that way. I wish there was a better indicator. I was told that the STi has it and the new one will be coming out with an audible chirp indicator when it approaches maximum RPM, but I have not confirm it yet. Tomorrow I will be at Kearny mesa, I plan to stop off Subaru dealership to check out their new cars, and if you don’t this, they are having a race team there with there to sign autographs and show off their powerful STi.

 

If your car is stock, you shouldnt worry about it. Get an exhaust and you'll be able to hear when you need to shift. But if youre that scared when youre driving, it think the best shift lights are the multi-stage ones. There are like 9 LEDs in a row...4 green 2 yellow then the last three flash red when you hit redline.

 

What are logod wheels?

WRC Gear-Indicator/Shift light - Why? So I dont have to look down when I am on the track.

 

I guess I'll chime in here with my opinion since you asked for it.....
I learned to drive manual in a fire truck that had no tach (it was old), so I learned to use my ears to figure out when to shift.....fast forward 5 years or so to when I bought my Dodge Dakota. Also, no tach, no problem. I still have it, with the same clutch and motor in it; 160,000+ miles on it (I did buy it used). Now to the Evo. I honestly don't even look at the speedo or the tach anymore. I do it all by ear, and it works out well. I do have a stock shift light in the Dakota. It's a green triangle in the lower left, and it annoys me. I find it actually takes my attention off of the road when it flashes. I put a piece of black electrical tape over it so I don't have to stare at it. So my opinion is, shift light=bad. You can drive your car by sound alone, and if that fails, the bigh tach in the dash will help.
