How Would You Build A Street Sleeper?

[unique1]

i had a 605awhp stagea rs4 with shit rims and stock external bodywork, black intercooler, nothing to give it away, lets say i had a few laughs in the time it was driving on the street, bunch of young guys in a vx clubsport r8 pulled up at the lights and commented on the sound of the exhust "sounds fast" he said in a sarcastic way. Lets just say once i hit 2nd gear it was all over and he did the fly by when i slowed down and next lights i pulled up again next to him and his passenger said 'f**k mate you need a parachute".

Also had a good run with a motorbike from the lights and he didnt expect it thats for sure, he pulled up after the run and said what the hell is in that thing haha.

i had some fun in my ford laser tx3 4wd turbo back in the day... was dead stock, mint as, full history and kept up with most stock/mildly done up imports.

gave a few people a surprise... i remember an s14 gunning it off the lights up to 4th, looked over and i was just up to his door, he was fairly shocked hahaha... didnt win anything but was good enough for the wtf look

Haha ahhh the old confusing a Stagea for a Volvo type thing

mate of mine had a 1982 sigma with a sr20 in it. cooler was relatively well hidden. stock 15" mags, stock tint (which was that old bluey colour and was peeling a little bit). pretty much just looked like a clean stock sigma, apart from the exhaust note and the fact it ran mid 12's. he was going to put the motor into an old late 70's chrysler galant wagon (brown, roof racks, stock 13" wheels, blanket over the rear seat, etc) but he put the 15" wheels on it at work, drove it about 3km home and took them straight off because it was horrible to drive (still had the stock motor in it) because it was all over the place. the tyres just followed the road, and he just thought it was going to be too much work getting all the suspension sorted/replaced to get it to be driveable on the road with any power.

Old school Audi gets my seal of win.. Audi 80 or S2

General lee audi for example..

Simple rule with a good sleeper though.. probably doesn't matter how they look because people won't be able to get a good enough look in time any way.

The Jap spec SSS bluebird is a nice sleeper

They're already 4wd and have the sr20 in them, cheap as and chances are now the paint is peeling too.

My daily driver is a 1989 Mazda 323 Shades. 1.6L Carby, 3 speed auto. Slowest car I have ever been in lol. However, it is comfy and light. I see it as a perfect candidate for an SR20. Its brown with brown interior. It looks slow because it is slow. But with an SR20, some decent tyres and somehow make it not FWD it would be awesome. Its like 900kg or something.

Awesome thread dude - theres so many choices out there

Maybe choose a car that is not so likely to be done up - but make sure theres enough aftermarket parts for it..

351c 5-speed. very scary to drive. later used the parts for an f100

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

id buy one of these and then add one of these to it

[NICKCEFFY]

for me it would be a toyota crown station wagon, BA XRT engine and gear box, black inter cooler, venetian blinds in the back window etc etc.

For me a sleeper has to be reasonably quiet, which a non forced induction motor couldnt do. XR motor is big enough to push the car along with minimal mods fairly rapidly plus the car is big enough to hide some decent suspension under it with out much hassle

e30 4dr turbo...keep the m20

Old CC/CE Lancer coupe' in faded red, hubcaps and all, with (yes, you guessed it), EVO AWD driveline. Pretty sure it's been done before.

camry with a 2JZ

[iseekool]

Ford BA series or later ex-taxi pick up for nix - put in XR6 turbo engine, trans and suspension - work the mutha f*cker. Put in all the curry decorations too

Datsun 910 bluebird - sr20det and all mods - keep it looking stock with the louver and granny/grandpa hat on the back seat.

RWD toyota tarago with a 2jz + T88

[rapturem3]

i think anything with a complete setup (engine work, chassis, suspension, brakes) but stock exterior would be pretty much a sleeper car
