whats rice about an r1 spoiler, that i have a touring model. rice to me is anything that doesnt make me go faster, stop better or turn harder. thats why i consider the r1 spoiler rice. rice=no improvement in any thing but looks.

What i hate about the little ricers is their fart pipes, when they are banging thru all their gears and they are still 100 feet ahead of normal traffic. The sound gets so annoying that I have to slow down to a crawl to make them go away a few more feet and make them sound like they are actually hauling ***.
I have no problem with them as long as they have real power and not playing pretend.

You just fucked yourself over on that statement.You state "rice=no improvement in any thing but looks."Yet the R1 front spoiler is functional and helps keep the front down.Do some research on stuff before you say what is and what isn't rice.
dude i didnt **** myself. i said that because i have a touring model and it doesnt come with one. saying that the front spoiler made a differance on my quater mile time or my autox time shows how ******* dumb you are.
im out sully

Ok then, agree to disagree!
Does it matter?
If you like it it's not rice! If someone else thinks it is rice, **** them! If I want to put Neon pink lights all over my car, I will! Does it matter what everyone else thinks. Hmmm No! It's not thier car!
Don't worry about it, let it go!
Apperance upgrades aren't all rice! If they are, painting your car a different colour will soon be rice to! but stripping the paint off your car to make it lighter. . .rice as well?!?!You Can't Win!!!! Man, who cares!

poisoned?? thats gotta suck. I could have gotten a trans already but im not gonna do that swap. It would be too much money and work. Everyone was talking about all of the crap i would have to do so i just said forget it. My trans is still trying to die but i wont let it. Im gonna end up getting it rebuilt but hopefully not soon. Hopefully i will have another 7 by then that i can drive while that one is getting fixed. You got the engine in there didnt you??

but..
curious as to how you came to this conclusion and pinpointed the cause to the front spoiler....as most will conclude that a lot of other factors involves varying times and results....
not to mention your implication that the front spoiler has no function...
as once again to imply that it provides no functionality on an r1... outside of aesthetics...
obviously you just werent aware...

for future reference sullycrx
in case you dont realize this as well...
an r1 has brake ducts directly attached behind the front spoiler (outer openings) to provide cooling to the brakes...another function the front spoiler provides...
