A poor excuse for a modified Japanese car.
The term Rice Rocket is implied to all amateur modders.
Those rice rockets are all show & no go...

Rice, generally referring to an Asian make of vehicle, Rocket generally referring to the speed or power of that particular vehicle. A true Rice Rocket means that the owner has tricked out his/her ride with actual engine/performance equipment to allow it to go faster. Often times, the owner will also do external/internal appearance mods to give the vehicle a racey look. Some people, however, forget to do engine/performance mods, and only do external appearance mods, meaning they don't have a a true Rice Rocket. They have a typical Asian vehicle that may or may not look fast, depending on the mods done to it. In recent times, "Rice Rocket" has been used to describe not only cars of Asian origin, but also some cars of European and North American descent that have been tricked out to go and look fast.
Hey, look at Tai Pai over there in his Rice Rocket...Man, the $12,000 he put into his Civic's engine mods, ground FX, rims and suspension really paid off. He killed that Mustang GT that cost $20,000. But look over there, Tai Pai's little brother Ling Lee tried racing the same Mustang GT. He got killed, because the Ground FX and Coffee-Can exhaust didn't do anything on that Corolla. Guess he doesn't have a true Rice Rocket!

A (usually) imported front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder vehicle (usually Honda Civic, Toyota Celica, Dodge/Plymouth Neon) with front-wheel-drive that has been extensively visually modified by its owner. Such modifications include fiberglass body panel replacement or enhancement, addition of whale-tail spoilers, low-profile tires on large rims, clear-lensed H.I.D. headlights, and a modified final exhaust stage.
Occasionally, these vehicles have much more extensive modifications, including but not limited to: total exhaust system overhaul, turbo/supercharging, engine replacement (To other high-performance inline four-cylinder engine ex. Honda S2000 or Saab 9-3), addition of a highly explosive gas (Nitrous Oxide or "NOS") into the fuel injection system, interior, seating, and steering modifications, and high-end stereo upgrades.
AlpineUSA.com had one hell of a rice rocket.

An import car, usually japanese, that is modified and suped up. It is cosmetically modified with wings/spoilers, body kits, lowering suspension, etc. And suped up with intake, exhaust, cams, clutch, turbo, etc. A Rice Rocket HAS horsepower and torque to back up cosmetic modifications. Rice referring amount of rice consumed in the Asian diet and Rocket referring to how fast the cars go. Rice Rocket is usually mistaken or confused with the term Ricer which means roughly: an import japanese car that is all show and no go.
Damn! That bad ass Rice Rocket sure beat the crap out of my crappy ass Cobra that I did nothing with to make fast!

A piece of crap Jap bike with a lot of plastic covering all the mechanical parts. They usually have names with a lot of letters and numbers, like rrx750rrxzx which means nothing at all. They make an annoying sound like Honnnndaaaaaa when they fly by in a flash of pink, purple and other gay colors. Owners of these bikes usually cover their faces with gay colored helmets out of shame and wear gay colored leather to appeal to other homosexuals.
Did you see that bunch of rice-rockets lined up in front of the gay bar?
