The name may derive from the fact the cars so modified tend to be underpowered Japanese imports, especially Honda coupes. They are also called ricers, rice rockets, rice cars or rice cookers, all terms that should be used with caution because they have UnfortunateImplications, especially if the driver is Asian. The terms, however, originally refer to Japanese cars in general, just like how Italian cars are called pasta rockets for just being Italian. Similar American cars are sometimes given the appellation of wheat burner. In the UK, these cars are said to have been "chavved up", or callesd a "chavrolet", a term which should also be used with caution, as it is considered a derogatory term for a LowerClassLout. (The drivers have been known for decades as "boy racers".) It has been claimed that the term RICE is an acronym for "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement", but this is likely a [[FunWithAcronyms backronym.]] In Russia, it is known as "ara-tuning" ("Armenian tuning"), hinting at its popularity in the countries and regions of Caucasus.
