Ok lets get this thread back on track.............





Doris the Morris spotted at Omex

With?

2.0 Blacktop Zetec on Jenveys, 185bhp



In the workshop was another having a superchaged Zetec dropped in but that was less of a sleeper

 

[Ian_182]

Love the willy engine in the blue clio

 

[jonnyRT]

185bhp from 2.0 with itbs, thats not good.

Or is that a mistake and you meant whp?

 

[midge]

185bhp from itbs is good. the 2.0 zetec is around 140bhp i think. 35bhp from itbs is very good.

 

[Spongebob 172]

here was mine only giveaway was the oil cooler...5gtt lump fitted

 

[midge]

can a valver be classed as a sleeper?

this is my ladyfriends, built in a day and a half, full 16v conversion inc suspension and front brakes.

 

[cat171]

I don't think that a valver can be classed as a sleeper at all.

I also think that some don't really understand what a sleeper is.

 

[Willy]

that valver is not as bad as some cars what are called sleepers. I thought it was pretty much bog standard cars with performance mods

 

[VeinAST]

Love the woody Morris! Just needs some steelies with chrome hubcaps!

 

[cat171]

Yep they are basically, mostly cars with engines in them that didn't start out in them though. MK1 corsa 1.2's with Calibra turbo engines in etc.

 

[Ad172UK]

There was a thread on scoobynet about the TT Clio IIRC lol

 

[micallef1990]

 

[cat171]

^ what does that show ?? A legacy isn't a sleeper.

 

[micallef1990]

its is a sleeper . 0-60 in around 5 seconds and a top speed of 170.

 

[AhmedRSi]

no its not, because its a legacy

 

[p@blo]

its is a sleeper . 0-60 in around 5 seconds and a top speed of 170.

Citroen ax gt vts'd oot it's nut!

 

[MATT BLACK]

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.

Raced this man many a time at York - its a quick machine but the guy is a bell end

 

[mugglesquop]

i think most people on here have no idea what a sleeper is...

 

[Puressence]

My fave sleeper...

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

i saw this at the classic ford show at santa pod last year my god can it shift

[Rob_]

Bike wasn't even trying mate .

The bikes doing 180mph lol

 

[jamesp24]

The bike Slowly accelerated,it started in 3 ear ffs,an r1 will do over a 100 in 1st not 50.

 

[Rob_]

course it aint trying how can you get to over 180mph and not try flol

So it started in 3rd gear.......

AND your point is?

What gear you think the volvo was in

 

[jamesp24]

If the r1 gunned it from 1st the volvo wouldn't catch till like 170.,it took the r1 4 seconds to go from 55 to 100 ? considering itl do 0-100 in under 6 i don't think it was trying lol.

 

[Rob_]

wasnt trying

sorry but im still rofl

 

[jamesp24]

How much power is it, Its says over 500 ??
