I'm still waiting to see what kind of accidents result from ricers riding around in their tricked-out Segway Type-R's. The rear spoilers would be a hell of a thing to hit the small of your back during a high speed collsion.

LOL, but "ricer" probably isn't a term you want to use in Japan. Not cool.

Btw, here's a ricer toilet mod (http://members.cox.net/marklein/rtype/toilet.htm).

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. So, what is the socially acceptable term for people who do that to their car in Japan? Just a general otaku?

[ultragaijin]

Good question. It's not otaku.

Anyone? What's a term for non-bosozoku car freaks with tricked out cars?
