I'm beginging to really toy with the idea of building a piece of **** sleeper. (Or letting my CRX become one, who knows which comes first.) Can a Honda even be a sleeper anymore? (Okay maybe a stock looking, non lowered four door civic with a stock muffler). I'm begining to look more into a Hyundai or a 323... Anyone got anything to say? (Sorry I'm not so descriptive I'm just toying with some ideas.)

 

My car is a relative sleeper.

232 WHP on my old setup, and no real external mods besides lowering, some clear corners, and 16" bling wheels... (Clear tails are GONE, thank God)

 

thats hot , u got internal stuff done?

 

Peoples opinions of what a sleeper looks like is way off now a days...
In no way does that look like a sleeper.

Agreed.

Nice car, but that's not a sleeper if you ask me.

 

I think to have a sleeper now you need the following....

-stock ride height
-stock wheels
-big aluminum wing
-stock looking exhaust w/big *** tip
-APC window banner
-driver must wear a crooked visor at all times

then you could really catch people off guard

 

a good (nice) sleeper would be a mirage i think 92-96 with an eclipse engine 4G63T that would be bad ***

Exactly. And it can't be a mirage, or an older civic, or a k-car, 'cuz what kind of idiot is gonna put money on their 89 civic hatch vs. a mustang unless they've got a badass setup under the hood. the mustang is gonna know something's up when you start flashing cash out the window of your caravan.

the best sleepers are 99+ Civic Si's. Everyone who owns one thinks they're hot ****, and everyone who's raced one has won, so if you show up in one with the mods that LudeEF mentioned (actually, I think slammed on stock shocks/rims is the best, 'cuz ebay lowering springs are real cheap), but have a 10 second motor, you'll clean up.

 

how did you only make 232whp on a b16 turbo with built internals?

 

sleepers are jdm with steelies at the top of 6th gear

 

to have a sleeper is to have a shitty looking car like my old crx, it was falling apart faded paint, i had gc w/ illuminas but i painted the shocks flat black and it was slightly lowerd , purple tints dings and dents , under the hood i had a b16 w/ skunk stage 3 cams full valve train i/h/e etc.... i would catch people off gard every time...

 

A good *** sleeper would be the infamous light silvery/blue stripper Omni with a built *** GLHS motor and monster turbo. Keep the stock 13 in steelies, faded interior and minor rust. Blow out a window, add trash bag and then hit the strip. You'd smoke some fools.

 

If you get a stock looking exhaust, go with an electric cut out or something

I always thought Id make a supra a sleeper but then I grew up

 

sleeper ef that I would build is:

rust EF hb si
dx emblem on the back
swap + turbo (250+whp ) see sig... hehe
small & effective (26x6.5x2.5) plained black
lsd
jimfab traction bar
teins ss lowered .5 inch
15 steelies with hubcaps wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza
stock si seats
hidden gauges
bike rack
rainbow colored wool blanket covering the rear seats
Zebra seat covers
steering wheel wraped in cheap Wal-Mart cover
planet earth dangling ball, hanging from mirror
WWJD sticker
ANY collage campus sticker on the back glass window
Crooked uhal sticker and tow hitch (I have one too)
MADD sticker
Licsene plate holder..... "feed the childeren"
Campus parking permit
stock exhaust with 2.5 e-cutout
velcrow on a daisy/flower onto the side of the pillard
have poerty and collage text books all over the back seat and a few
womens movement books on the passenger side.
Wal-Mart revolving compass (the one you stick on the dash and it has a moving ball N-E-W-S)
velcrow on a digital clock
stock radio
and some modivation tapes or self tapes writen with black marker (the women within us)
...... Need I go on with her plants in the trunk?

FYI this is my sisters car... minus the proformace parts

 

i think, no matter what you do to this car, it will always be a sleeper. im waiting for money to do a fully rebuild, and a big turbo it was turbo for a little bit and it was fast as ****.

 

Haha my car with a huge motor... Stock Cx Rusted to **** haha

Heh, I was thinking the same thing. Thats practically stock block SOHC-T range

 

a good sleeper IMO
is a showroom mint honda. with no visible mods. at all. that can hit 13's.

Jody, your car is a sleeper cuz its always sleeping in the garage in thousands of pieces! hahahaha

 

The "sleeper" that I liked was the Pinto that was in Hot Rod about a year ago. The guy was buying complete turbo set-ups from the full size T-birds. Dirt cheap and fast.

Wes

 

this was when my car looked like a sleeper, but it only had a zc now its got swirlies so its got a lil more bling

 

the exhaust makes it not so sleeper tho.

 

i say a sleeper is a black car,with black painted steelies,stock looking exhaust,stock ride hight,and a mad tyte swap,ha

 

this is a sleeper...



the Mitsubishi 4g63 motor swaps right in with little mods. if my father sold me his colt... i would be building that this summer. maybe i can still talk him into it. BTW: its a Dodge Colt wagon Vista...i think.

A sleeper is an ALL STOCK exterior that has a very powerful motor inside... none of this lowering/wheels/bling exhaust/ect...ect...ect... all stock appearance with **** loads of go under the hood...
