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.

hahahaha thats gold!

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 :rofl:

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.

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

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 :blink:

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

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
