The sleepers appreciation thread

[Gary-Lew]

lol at some of the cars on this thread, sleeper thread yet most of the cars posted are wild looking custom s**t, nothing sleeper about them whatsoever.

hehe..not seen codys astra for time. will he ever finish building /rebuilding it??

yes mate i belive it should be done soon with more power :evil:

 

[cat171]

I don't think that some on here have grasped what a sleeper is, for example an astra with big wheels and a massive fook off fmic isn't a sleeper at all.

If it was on steelies without the fmic showing it would be a sleeper.

i know what the "conventional" idea of a sleeper is and i agree completely with the likes of cat171. The only thing is that i have a plan to make a sleeper, not im not sure what yet but part of my plan is to DELIBERATELY put a baked bean can exhaust and some $hitty lexarse lights on, so people think look at that piece of pigeon poo and then get there asses handed to them on a plate. now would that count as a sleeper?

Love sleepers. I've got a mini project in me just waiting to come out. All I need now is a garage and time/money to do it. Watch this space in 10 years

[Mr. White]

like the volvo! What did the straight six come from?

Remaining faithful to the marque, Mattias dropped in a 2.5 liter six cylinder from the Volvo 960, bored and stroked to 2.8 liters using a combination of SPM pistons and rods plus a Volvo 960 3.0 crankshaft.

[Jay Payne]

[BioHzrd]

Link to this thing PLz

 

[Daniel]

Thats quite possibly the furthest thing from a sleeper i've ever seen.

Do people not understand what a sleeper is???

 

[Jay Payne]

obviously not


Thread would make more sense renamed 'The anything modifiied or just different looking or even your own car appreciation thread'

 

[Liam:]

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.
