People who destroy cars. If you have a Japanese car that was made to go fast (R35 GTR, Skyline R34, Supra, S2000 & RX8), then you can make it go fast, and we're not talking fast, we're talking "Lamborghini Aventador/Veneno" fast.
However, one with a bullshit JDM car that was made to go slow & handle like a Tata Nano with oil on its tires. (Usually Honda Civics & Toyota Avalon, but cars like the Focus, 206/106s & Cavaliers are known to be riced) can be massacred to the point a bone-stock Smart ForTwo could beat it, let alone a poverty-spec moped from India or Pakistan.
Usually, they will have tasteless mods, such as HUGE fart cans the size of 3 Rottweilers, obnoxious REP wheels & body kits, and huge spoilers. It's also been reported that they will have audio systems in the trunk, though more rarely, there are not only speakers but TV Screens or game consoles.

1: I got a damn 1970 Monte Carlo in my garage. It's all rusty & shit, but unlike that asshole driving his Peugeot 106, it won't wake up the entire neighborhood.
2: Guys, look! It's a damn Cavalier sticker bombed with a fart can on it. *Laughs*
3: Bro this car is sick! This used to be a ricer Ford Focus, but I tuned it and made it go beast mode! I beat a Gallardo off the line & killed a brand new Ferrari. I taught those rich kids the meaning of "kick-ass"

Get the Ricer mug.contrary to its close relative, the rice rocket, a daily ricer is a car manufactured by Asian automakers with no performance enhancing stickers or giant drag inducing fins. These cars are used most commonly for driving to and from work. Usually powered by small four cylinder engines they are great on fuel and don't cost a lot of money to drive.

Get the daily ricer mug.Much like several terms referring to the LGBTQ community, Ricer can be used both as a slur or to refer to a community with a specific aesthetic and can often be confused by those unfamiliar with the community as being racially charged or out and out racist.
Ricer, when used in a non derogatory manner, refers to community of car enthusiasts focused on primarily cosmetic changes with an aesthetic popularized in America by movies like The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Anime such as Intital D, and video games such as Midnight Club.
Ricers primarily use cars of Asian design
such as Hondas, Toyotas, Hyundais, and their subsidiary companies such as Lexus, Scions, etc. This is used an argument for the racist nature of the term; however, As the aesthetic style originated in Asia and was imported to America, I personally find this to be an unfair assault on the community.
Within the Ricer community exists subcommunities such as JDMs (Japanese Drift Machines), which is both an aesthetic community and an actual brand who makes modification parts.
While JDMs are Ricers, not all Ricers are JDMs. It has been a struggle of the JDM community to maintain their unique identity as many specifically white people become uncomfortable using the term ricer and have instead began using JDM as a stand in for ricer. This has lead the JDM community to get very defensive of what is JDM and as such can give the community the reputation of being toxic.

Guy 1: I just bought this car for like 3000. It looks sick, but the guys at the tire shop that the rim on my car was a 18.5 inch with an 18 inch tire on it, who even does that?
Guy 2: Dude, you bought a Ricers project car... They sometimes value form over function.
Guy 1: The guy I bought it from was white, why did you just assume he was Asian.
Guy 2: That's not what I meant by Ricer. I mean the car is literally aesthetically an example of the Ricer community.
Guy 1: I think you mean JDM community.
Guy 2: No, I mean Ricer. This is a Korean made car and has grippy tires. It is definitely not a Japanese Drift Machine.
Guy 1: But that word sounds kinda racist.
Guy 2: Dude, Next Saturday the ricers are having a car show. Come with me and I can actually introduce you to some of my Ricer friends. They may be able to help you with your tire problem.

Get the Ricer mug.by dalymail September 9, 2022
Get the House-Ricer mug.Ricer is the most outstanding girl you’ll ever meet. She has two aspirations in life: 1) to watch anime, 2) to eat McDonalds regularly. Ricers persona studies political science by day, and takes coding classes for math credits by night. Regardless, she’s always rocking a badass hair color to match her unmatched clothing style. Her big eyes and upturned nose would make her an amazing model. And her funky personality keeps on adding to her Peruvian charm.
Guy 1: Holy fuck, did you see Ricers fit today? She’s a total goddess.
Guy 2: For real, man. I fucking love UCR.

Get the Ricer mug.Can also mean someone who builds a custom FPV racing drone that does nothing except whine like a banshee and go nowhere. They try to mostly make it look faster. Basically a flying brick of a FPV racing drone that’s underpowered and overweight. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge antenna that serves no purpose but to make the drone prone to catching on things and crashing
- Large undervolted battery that weighs more than the drone itself
- Lots of after-market parts from the arseholes of china, but must be cool
- Expensive motors and ESCs that are a waste of money if their true power will never be used
- Bodykit to make the drone appear more aerodynamic but does the exact opposite, giving it the aerodynamics of a brick
- Clear front lights and transparent props, usually cyan, green or purple
The "ricer" attempts to make their drone "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or colour, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.

We invited the new guy to our spot for racing, he witnessed us freestyle, we showed him some tricks and he tried to replicate them, too bad his ricer drone was way underpowered and overweight so crashed into the river.
