I think the term sleeper is being slightly stretched by most of these cars

By most the above cars terms, a big power Cossie is a sleeper!

Id say in modded car terms, a sleeper is something that nobody expects to have the performance it has, not a Audi S4 or a modded XR2 with RS Turbo written on the rear side windows

Martyn

Mine obviously works then, cause it aint an S4
To 99% of people, and yourself it would seem, they have no idea what it is apart from an old M reg Audi 80
In my eyes, that makes it a sleeper

focusjohn

Would agree with the above tbh. Some thing like a lada with a v8 in it.

Agreed, very loose sense of the word sleeper.

Stavros

Audi S something, S2 or whatever they were then, any idiot would think its fast, most would prob think its an S4 at first glance.

Esp as the only older one, and estate, people think of are the RS2s, which is even faster.

So yours is probably the opposite from a sleeper

Sporty Audi estates are so famous now they miles from a sleeper!

rssteve

could someone just post a picture of a tractor or something, that looks standard.

RS SHORTIE

Stavros

Cool man, does the engine fit in a Chinque easy? Bet thats fast as fuck with a lil tuning!

if that exhaust was a 3 inch that would be a superb little sleeper 4 inch gives it away a lot

rsvan

blinding rides, anymore?

I bet that fiat is bloody quick.

RS SHORTIE

Its not an easy coversion to do and most that have tried it have never made it onto the road.

Its mildly tuned with a full scorpion stainless/green airfilter and pace intercooler.
Its made 132bhp at 10 psi so yes it goes ok

RS SHORTIE

Its also bloody scary

Munch

take your average 1.1 fiesta with a fair bit of rust but solid then ad some shit hot suspenion & one of these







= one quick 1.1 popular plus lol

Ade

Remeber the Primera Cosworth? I think that was the ultimate street sleeper.

It didn't look standard, but purely because of the shitty naff alloys and crappy bonnet vent it looked like an average ex-taxi done up by some clueless middle aged guy with a Halfords gift voucher.
I certainly would never have expected it to be packing Esc Cos power!

Only pic i have of my mates old corsa



That was about 4 years ago, was the first corsa C turbo we where aware of, in a stock looking SRi, just lowered a bit.
300+ bhp, was good once it gripped, sure did upset a skyline R33 GTR owner. Untill you got near a corner.

Theres a Reliant Robin round here with a V8 in it :s

On the subject of sleepers etc, does anyone think that the vdub inspired "rat look" will ever catch on with fords?

WongRS

iTrader: (11)

i hope not, it works on aircooled VW's IF its done right, but its been done to the death now and is getting a bit tired.

Twellsie

what engine is that?

Kam B

u funny

that was years back and people still didnt beleive it was RS Turbo powered, until they saw it shoot off thank you please!

got any pics your self? lets see em

Munch

sorry but i have to agree with Steve, having some gay RS Turbo in your window & having a cruddy dump valve...hardly makes it a sleeper


i think the Fez i posted up is a proper sleeper, just needs some 15inch mondeo steele's to finish it off

Kam B

yeah, your pic/car is the best in the worllllldddddddddd
