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

kid: * rummaging through bed sheets* "where is it? " "WHERE IS IT?!?!?"
parents: "what is it?"
kid: "i cant find my tunder!!"
when the parents ask what this "tunder" is, the boy looks at them like they are idiots, in his head, asking what tunder is is like asking what a shoe or something is, its just obvious.
tunder IS tunder.

Get the Tunder mug.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.

Get the tuner mug.noun, an economy car bought off craigslist by a financially misguided young man that is "tuned" to achieve slightly greater straight line acceleration and maximum potential lateral acceleration. notable features 1. are exhaust modifications that are loud yet particulary "untuned," as in creating various unpleasant low frequencies in steady, droning disharmony 2. disproportiately large rims bearing "low profile" tires 3. the hood of vehicle is often a different color than that of the other body panels 4. ride height of vehicle often altered. watch for scraping upon exit of hamburger drive-in.
Primary reason for good used honda civics being priced astronomically high, tuner cars have become an icon for the continued irresponsibility, entitlement, and egomaniacal behavior on the public road system of the US today. They have replaced muscle cars as a locus of blame in the grand scheme of percieved danger on the highway. While tuner cars, as inanimate object are obviously not at fault, they do symbolize effectively the continuation of the american inability to reconcile the conflict of ego versus landscape where the young man choses an ideal of control in response to deep seated emotional ignorance. see also motorcycle in regards to this part of def

Nice tuner car, dude. That's a real constructive use of both your time and precious metal alloys. Can't wait to see you out there on the road exceeding the social agreement of speed limitation! You will certainly beat a "stock" Honda Civic to the next red light in your tuner car. And that joker won't know what to do when he catches up and you both stare at each other, at the same red light, in the same reliable, sensible, safe, cute-as-a button compact japanese automobile.

Get the tuner car mug.A small/small medium car of the compact/compact sedan/compact sports breed, i.e. foreign makes such as but not limited to Honda, Toyota, Mistubishi vehicles, that have been modified with various after-market parts in an attempt to make them better, faster, and more appealing to other owners of cars of the same type and style. Another trait associated with Import Tuners is the link between them, their owners and various forms of street racing, as is accurately portrayed in all of the Fast and the Furious movies and the game, Need for Speed Underground. The "usual" age 18-30 drivers of these cars usually are looking to prove themselves on the street and are most commonly:
1. Young Asian men of the wankster variety.
2. Young White men, commonly of the wigger or wasian varieties.
3. Young Black men with "whips" who act like/are posers/pimps/gangsters.
Possibly the most defining marks of an Import Tuner would be any or all of the following:
1.ABOVE ALL, a large, fat After-Market Exhaust Pipe that produces a loud, deep sound upon sudden acceleration, this action done at times when a fair amount of traffic is present to produce the desired ego high.
2.After-Market Taillights/Headlights, usually of the newest LED varieties.
3.Custom Decals/Paintjobs done to make the car look fearsome/more powerful than others in a street race.
4.Large Chrome Rims and tires to fit, sometimes too large for the vehicle but added anyway.
5.Under-Car Neon/LED Lighting systems, such as StreetGlow.
6.Any other various and seemingly out-of-place performance/aesthetic parts such as hood scoops, roof scoops, spoilers, carbon-fiber hoods/doors/panels, colored brake boots, chrome-parts etc.

Get the Import Tuner mug.An enlarged hot wheels car made from the plastic from melted down barbie dolls with a motor the size of a soda bottle. Usually people who buy these 95 hp stock pieces of garbage they found outside walmart with for sale window painted onto them, tend to put a turbo on them bigger than the actual motor. You can usually spot one of these "tuners" by either noticing their flamboyant flourescent paint jobs, which for a street racing vehicle is somehow hard to spot by police, or the massive 12" subwoofers bumping music as loud as possible as if anybody wants to hear it also, that is if you cant see the rudder flap of a 747 they bolted to the trunk to increase the "downforce" for their front wheel drive cars, which makes sense because an origami car made from phonebook paper weighs more than these things. most of the time you can hear these cars starting from over a mile away when the folgers can attached to their exhaust starts spewing probably the most obnoxious sound of a pack of illegal mexicans with their leafblowers at full blast. You may even find a fire extinguisher bolted to the car in plain view because lord only knows when all that "horsepower" will get under control. They weigh a whole 50 pounds and are capable of hitting rpm's of 10 grand because of the 4 ridiculously small pistons . be sure if you plan to build one of these vehicles to avoid all the bugs that you may hit while driving because they can easily total your vehicle. Any japanese economy car built for those in a financial situation where they cannot afford a quality vehicle or the gas to power a quality vehicle, with more money put into the vehicle than the car itself is actually worth
Child 1: Hey look at that oversized hot wheel!!
Owner of vehicle: Dude that's my tuner wtf!!

Get the Tuner mug.synonymous with Idiot. Nowadays most car places which call themselves Tuners (and not raceshops) are usually run by idiots who don't know anything about car performance and setup.
That's why nowadays the word "Tuner" is used instead of "Idiot" a lot
