Performance stickers are the DEFINITION of rice :(

"Rice" is the undertaking of modifications that do not actually increase the performance of his car by any significant amount, but rather, try to give the appearance of high-performance.

Have a read of the website from the guy who INVENTED the word.

http://www.riceboypage.com/

I quote:

Most Rice-Boy cars (or "Rice Rockets") have the usual complement of stickers proudly displaying features that the car might or might not have

Posted by the_paladin about Rice:

"Mods with no performance enhancement.........or a lack of ballance between performance mods and cosmetic mods.............

for instance.........HKS sticker = RICE. HKS sticker on a car with a HKS turbo in it = not rice!"

I got a HKS turbo :( intercooler and lots of other stuff

Ahh damn, I said yes, and then voted, then just after I saw the and lame too .. can I change it? Please.

I think one sticker would be fair enough, on your rear windscreen or something, but along the door looks ricey no matter how many dollars are in your car.

90% of stickers are rice

But if you actually have a peroformance part, and have some common sence on where to position the sticker, then i spose its ok..

If i bought a HKS T51R ide put all the HKS stickers i want, but for those who buy a blitz turbo timer and cover their car in blitz stickers suck ass

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
