The question has plagued modifiers since the first Japanese car landed in Australia (for Australian cars it was just called "useless crap" - and it seems the answer was there is never too much).

How much rice is too much?

Is there a limit too how much one should chrome?

Obviously the chrome Auris

was going too far but how far can one go before it is too far?

[and I don't want any soft answers of it's a matter of personal choice]

That chrome corolla is not rice, its a show car and it would be illegal to drive it on the street due to the paint.

Rice is your typical ugly crap on cars that serves no purpose and looks like diarrhoea.

This is rice, big canon exhaust thats noisy and USELESS for a non turbo engine plus UGLY clear tail lights AND a big F&*K OFF spoiler that stick out like a sore thumb: rice.jpg

That spoiler is good for 10HP, not to mention the Vee-TAK. Everyone knows you need loads of rear-wheel traction in a front-wheel-drive car. Psft :whistling:

depends on your definition of rice

some people may consider rims to be rice, others will consider it an upgrade

same with hid kits and some spoilers on the right car, etc

Lol yeah, Rice mods are only good if your car still looks clean. A Body kit to enchance visuals but not overdo it. Rims as long as they're not chrome lol.

it is hard to say whether a car is good-looking or rice-looking, may depend on individual own eyes..

Wings good only for hanging clothes? Rice.

muffler sound nothing more than boooooooh? rice.

I dont like seeing "Shopping Lists" down the doors, or along the side skirts etc. Like, HKS, APEXi, BRIDE, and such.

These fellows dont have half the parts on the cars!

Best one of these I had seen was on a white skyline(I think) it had the shopping list of 6 or 8 brands and then had green ticks next to half of them

Whether he had the goods and the others were his plans or whether he was just taking the ***** I don't know as I was driving past at the time

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
