What's with this forum and using the "rice" adjective?
Their fucking gauges! They tell you what you car is doing, if that's rice, there's something wrong with you people.. They're not my style, but gauges are never rice. Unless they are for looks only, that's rice, that's the only definition of rice. Any functional gauges are useful, especially with a turbo car. Fuckin grow up! |

I think this forum needs a refresher course on what rice is.
Anything that's Japanese is rice seems to be the foundation for the word. Exhaust on a Civic is rice, but exhaust on a BMW isn't? Boost/AFR gauges are rice? Rice = non functional mod done purely for looks. example: boost gauge on NA car, huge wing on FWD car etc. |

Those gauges are lame, they do look like Mickey Mouse Ears. I never said put a A Pillar gauge, those look stupid also. A better cleaner solution could be a vent gauge like AWE has for Audis if one could be produced and the vent still works/blows air. Light output matches interior. Otherwise, defi gauges put in a DIN spot, although there isn't one leaves you with few options I suppose. |

comming from an m3, yes the hpf turbo is an amazing product. this is just their first step but the main point it is a first reliable and safe TURBO solution for the m3. yes the aa does have a 1000hp turbo but im not sure if they are releasing it to the public sale. cleaner solution yes but better i don't think so. guages in driver's line of site compared to a pod blocking an ac vent. |

I disagree with you. I think rice is purely subjective, since there is no real definition.
For me an exhaust on a civic is not rice but an exhaust on a civic to make it sound like a lawnmower is pure rice. I don't care if it's done to improve with powere or not. If it looks or sounds absolutely horrible, then it is rice to me. With this gage, I don't think that it's rice; I just personaly don't like it.
