1.magazine with models and tuner cars
2. any japanese car thats been modified in terms of racing tuners are reletivley new and get a lot holy bullshit from most muscle car drivers and some super car drivers though some muscle car drivers have sympathy for us the reason is because the most abundant tuner is a honda civic which is a good car and it runs like stink when moddd but its also a good show car and one day some redneck idiot saw one of these show civics and thus the term ricer was born. ever since then if you drove a JDM civic most muscle car drivers would yell RICER! then you would shut them up by winning a race agenst them. the three classes are
normal: done some things to enigine and some things done to the exterior/interior
JDM: japanese domestics market means the car was grey imported from japan then modified to improve performance items like spare tire and jack have been removed to lower weight few things are done to the outside
not road legal: imports meant for track

1. A car (usually Japanese) modified to be more aerodynamic and powerful as well as look cool. One great car for tuning is the Nissan Altima or the 240sx. The Altima is little known as a tuner, but is very fast and fun to start with. With some mods (like racing cams and a stronger clutch) it could be a nice car. I can spank lots of things in a non-tuned Altima.
2. a person who modifies cars both performance and cosmetic.

Real situation I experienced.
friend: Haha, My Chevy'll smoke that tuner wanna be.
me: We'll see.
friend: Wanna race?
me: OK
me: Haha, I knew when I saw that you had an automatic tranny, that I could beat you reguardless of the power of your engine. also, your car weighs about 1,000 lbs more than mine, so you're gonna have a hard time eating me for lunch.

A piece of crap foreign car made to look like a racecar. Usually piloted by some wigger. Typical add-ons include a giant wing that does nothing, a PS2 or XBox, tons of cheasy ground fx, a pathetic looking hoodscoop, all kids of window stickers for parts the driver doesn't own, and of course a coffee can looking muffler to make the car sound like an angry lawnmower.
Driver 1:Look at my Honda I'm bad homes I'm bad I drive a tuner.
Driver 2: Oh shut up everyone knows that chunk of crap used to be your grandma's grocery getter.
