The sleepers appreciation thread

[Jay Payne]

yes you are correct but it looks like its modified.

Sleepers look standard/stock/s**t/base model. Not with massive ferrari rims, crome body work and dragging its ass down the road

 

[Daniel]

Sorry, I didn't realise that you can buy an estate with a ferrari engine. Sos I haven't got any more info on it.

My version of a sleeper:

If I pull up next to it at the lights, I would think its a s**t box and would waste it in my Diesel pug van, when in fact, it looks like a shitbox, but it has a fire breathing 2.0T motor that is going to blow my doors off.

The Silver 20 inch ferarri wheeled hot-rod you just posted doesn't say sleeper.

imo of course.

 

[Liam:]

Fair enough, but it does fill some of the criteria. I agree the rims are too far but it still doesn't look fast.

 

[Triki]

Omg ! does it really get much better than this ?

[mark1188]

Not as impressive as some of the stuff on here but not bad for our first attempt at mechanics - me and my mates AX VTS




also a bloke on axoc has built this, i know its not really a sleeper but still worth a mention




AX Cosworth

i saw there was a few posts about john sleath too, he lives near me in conisbrough, on the same road where i work, his cars are brilliant, i've never heard/seen anything like them, especially the cortina

[Liam:]

How about this:

BMW E30 1.8 shell with Engine / gearbox from ALPINA B10 TT (stock : 3L5 TT 360 hp)
460hp @ 0.9 bar

 

[Jay Payne]

Thats more like it

 

[Ian_182]

Thats a good one

 

[D4N13L]

Now thats a sleeper

 

[Liam:]

The guy even went to the lengths of cutting one of the exhausts so that you only see one, pretty extreme

 

[Englebert]

Yep, that is a proper sleeper!

 

[StevenMc29]

that bmw is gorgeous

 

[kyle_sxi]

i want that bmw

 

[Helldriver]

check out this Twingo...

http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/s...=ALSO_EXPORT&customerIdsAsString=&tabNumber=2

F7R Turbocharged 300hp wtf! thats a propper sleeper...i love it.

 

[Ian_182]

hhaha,i bet thats fun

 

[mini_nick]

My mates legacy turbo is a bit of a sleeper - no one seems to know what it is, but its got brembos on, td05 turbo running quite a bit of boost so its around 260/280 bhp. Goes very well and surprises people!

 

[Rob_]

Really like the colour on that

 

[Englebert]

Me too!

Twingo looks like fun, could be stealthier though!

 

[aliengravy]

I hope it hasn't been posted!!

[StevenMc29]

Just a little 4 cyl....

 

[172Ben]

Sounds awesome!!

 

[blackpool_john]

My fave sleeper...

11.58 quarter
4x4 cosworth
I particularly like the dented, scuffed front wing for added sleeperiness(?).

 

[Olliec]

Awesome!

 

[fUbAr]

awesome in it's own rights:

2.3l twin carb conversion, rapid.

[StevenMc29]

Some awesome motors in here. Like the van

 

[Jay Payne]

Van is a good one, seen that before, perfect sleeper

 

[djchewy]

Carbon fibre mini FTW

0-60MPH AROUND 4 SECONDS
143MPH TESTED GPS WITH ANOTHER 1000RPM TO GO AND STILL PULLING
4000RPM AT 80MPH SO 35MPG HAS BEEN PROVEN

yours for £35,000 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1070134.htm

 

[Andy.]

That mini is not so subtle! Still, nobody would expect it to put out those figures.. semi-sleeper.

 

[Tav]

Mk3 Polo with some questionable choice in wheels, nothing too unusual here...

...hold on a minute, where's the engine...and what's a bottle of NOS doing under the bonnet?

Oh look a 1.8 20vT engine in the rear with about 400bhp! This car is definitely a sleeper, no one expects that power in a Polo. Also when you pull up a long side it you can't see the engine as it's below the line of the windows...sweeet.

Civic Type R getting whupped by a G40...ok it's supercharged but it's a small box with a 1.3 engine...you'd not expect this. Plenty of standard looking cars with 170-210bhp, peoples faces are priceless when you pass them/keep up with them.
