i agree there are diff levels of sleeper,ranging from totally unassuming bog standard looking car to standard cars with big intercoolers sticking out front making u think twice about it.i love looking at cars n think 'what a pile of shi ......... WTF was in that' as it goes flying past lol
i love my 2i turbs for the fun factor as the dents over n,rust patches etc people assume its a tatty 2i lol.

here are some of my old turbo technics powered fiesta
it had a 1.6 turbo technics cvh in it with full xr2 running gear and brakes with a s2 gearbox, it went really well and suprised loads of people, when i first built it i had it on 13" rs 7 spoke wheels but changed to the rs turbo ones because i was going to fit bigger brakes but sold it before i fitted them

Oh its not a road car. Right. Thats why its on askmid and taxed then? Id also be very interested to see the wording of a traders policy that allows cars to be driven that have undeclared engine size changes. No worries though, Ill just believe you.
I guess you must cover all the others here that havent bothered updating the dvla either.
It still amazes me that this goes on today, where people will just shoehorn another engine in a car, and as long as they report it to the insurers (hopefully they at least do that), they think its legal.

I love sleepers!
And there are some belters in this thread it has to be said.
I've wanted to build a sleeper for a while now. I'm a diesel head though, so mine would have to drink the DERV. I quite fancy the idea of a plain MK3 5-door Fiesta running an Escort/Mondeo 1.8 Turbo Diesel engine, one of the pre-endura intercooled ones which spat out 90PS. I used to have a MK6 escort with said engine and it went like a rocket (well, for a diesel anyway!). A couple of tweaks of the fuelling and turbo and it'd be a mighty fast Fiesta I'd say.

My mate bought and sold this car again last year but was a wee bit different. Had a 1.6i front bib and 3i boot spoiler on it when he got it. I've actually got the bucket seats that were in it when he got it in my xr2.
How long ago were these pics taken mate?

volvo was running about 190 odd bhp,they can be tuned but your best bet is to get on www.turbobricks.com and check out first as there are lots of different specs on engines and management,some are easier to tune than others.the engine can be taken as far as cossie engines with top cars running 1000bhp or more.to fit the engine in that bay you need to either use the block mounted dizzy from a non turbo engine,or cut a hole in the bulkhead to allow room for the rear head mounted dizzy.

Some great sleepers on here like the civic at the start and the bogo sierra's with Cossies power!
I think some people need to learn what sleeper means though.
