Might as well post the first thread in this sub-forum and get it started...

How many people assume your car's stock... and what's their reaction when they find out otherwise? Hehe, the people's reactions never ever get old... granted, it's hard to have a "sleeper" evo... but people can't tell a huge bar & plate FMIC from the evo's stock small tube & fin... and the FMIC is my only mod that's visible from the outside (except suspension)... even my cat-back exhaust is stock, hehe.

Feel free to post up your experiences and sleepers here! :p

People alway think i have a EVO or STI. I only have a Mazdaspeed protege. Either that or they think my car is a riced out protege. which i guess it is.

You know what's really funny? Most people think that my car isn't stock. I have a s14 lowered, rims,exhaust, and an intake. I live up here in mustang heaven and since my car is loud with the Blitz catback people think that I'm runnin an sr20 or something. I've only had one race up here. And that mustang was very modded and I was really trying to race him. I justwanted to see what he had so I'll know when the car is boosted. Shit, my car is slow as hell right now it just looks a lil fast.

Well I love the fact that my car looks pretty much stock. Its lowered enough so that its hard to see the front mount, and my HKS exhaust really isnt all that noisy. And thats when it happens- they get really cocky cause it seems stock and they give it a try. Its absolutly priceless to see the look on their face when the externally dumped wastegate opens up and they damn near shit their pants. The best is when they completely let off of the gas and steering wheel to cover their ears. It cracks me the hell up every time....

i had a 97 GSX with a JDM 4g63T my front mount was painted black with a t3/t4 turbo and my apexi cat back and everyone was like man thats shits just bone stock i was like lets race then and when i would fly by them they would be like WTF

but now that i have the 240 i get the drift question all the time and do u have a sr20 question too.

People always think I am just some regular C5 Corvette.......some roll up and then see the small silver badge and back off.... :D

But the best times were when I had the Nissan with the entire white front end and white wing, while the rest of the car was grey. Looked ok to me....for some odd reason.....but this was before the HUGE SR craze really got in full swing and everyone thought I was a ricer............until of course they got walked by 5 cars or more through two gears! ;) :D This was very cool when I beat the yellow Z06 on the highway, but he was cool about it and gave mad props to me.

all the damn time. I actually started dressing up the exterior of the car to hopefully attract more attention but it never garners looks. The car is fairly stock looking on the outside but has a 3" exhaust with large N1 can on the back and a got boost? sticker. thats it as far as externals go. I've got the turbo grille on the car, but the turbo, intercooled badges were shaved....I get strange looks, crazy looks and people think things are downright wrong with the car when they hear the BOV hiss. Bewildered looks from hearing the turbo spool, and aside from stray wires under the hood, nobody still thinks anything of the car. Its fun but downright annoying at the same time. On occaision i want people to try the car, but nobody ever does! argh

I dont very many drifting questions.. well, when i had the white car i did al lthe time.

I get a lot of 'what is that car?'.. and when i say its a Miata.. they look disappointed and say 'oh'. Buahaha

But the people who do try starting races... they ask 'whats it got?' i just tell them "Its just a Miata" and smile.... then i usually hear 'bullshit!'... oh well. My car is VERY quiet.. until i get on it.. then it whine... but thats jsut a bad powersteering pump ;)

i get this all the time in my jetta 1.8t...i have it lowered on stock wheels about an 1.8inches and my exhaust pipe barely sticks out from under my valence.its just the tip part but the actual muffler comes 1st(behind rear wheel)

everyone thinks my car is stock..even sounds so at idle..you should see the looks on their faces when they hear me spooling up at 1950rpm..and then moves like shit off a shovel :king:

Some people think my car is stock, because the only visual mods I have are the wheels, lx tail lights, shitty clear corner headlights, and it's lowered a bit.. but when i crank it up, that usually answers any questions as to whether it is stock or not.

Is it the 5.0 in your avatar? I usually think most of those are moded. Up where I live it's rare to find a completely stock 5.0 unless someone just got it from someone that didn't do anything to it.

damn subaru's and their exhaust. No one has ever thought my car was stock. However, they have asked if it had a V8, or if it was a turbo diesel...that one I don't understand.

I always get confused with STi's. When they first came out it seemed like once a week someone would ask me how I liked my STi.

I guess it also hurts that my car is yellow, I get a lot of "Why did you paint your car yellow" questions, or the best one..."At least it's not that pale yellow" (refering to the Blaze yellow, only 500 made.)

When I used to drive the 240, when it was like 4 colors, I would tell evryone it was stock so they would race me....then they would find out and be mad!!! Then I would be like stock SR, duh! :)

I know your pain on that one. Ported head here, lumpy cam, lots of timing and large exhaust, but people still for some reason can't understand my car is modded. I suppose its because everyone thinks volvos are granpa mobiles. Occaisionally someone will ask me what "got boost?" means. I just ignore them now.

[QUOTE=crxsiguy]People sometimes asked me if my car was turbo or non turbo..... dont see why thou.... And i also have that idle problem ;) hks 272 idle problem.../QUOTE]

I'm not doubting you at all, but lots of people bought 2g NA eclipses because they are "cute". Then proceed to install all the mods to make it look fast (like a turbo), but then it actually ISN'T fast. You may be getting clumped in with this crowd despite the fact that you've actually got some real work done to that car. Heck, I'd probably ask you if it were turbo even with that huge front-mount on there because I've seen fake ICs on NA eclipses.....Anyway, All that being said...my car is no match for an even slightly breathed on 4g63 powered machine, but I tend to weed them out like this...

2g Eclipse, 8x out of 10, its some kid with a fart cannon and MBC who can barely handle the car. If its a 1g and I see an exhaust or hear even the slightest hint of turbo whine, I back off. Those cars aren't cute....Your not going to find anyone still driving a 1g unless they are either A: a tuner with about 300+ hp under the hood or B: regular guy driving his aging eclipse (and the car's appearance will reflect this).

oh, and one more thing...What kind of front mount is that? I need a new IC bad!

crxsiguy
03-19-2005, 06:01 PM

i love galant VR-4's... they are true sleepers, especially when they have a few mods, nobody would ever suspect it... hell i used to not know it until one blew the freaking doors off my buddy's wolfsburg jetta (turbo)... then i asked lots of questions and the guy was really cool about it.
nobody ever thinks my freinds Dakota is fast either... it's an R/T but it has 16" dodge wheels and not the 17's u usually see, and it is a 5-speed (swapped before bought), with intake, exhaust, mild cam... it's sweet, and a pretty good sleeper (runs 13's)

i love galant VR-4's... they are true sleepers, especially when they have a few mods, nobody would ever suspect it... hell i used to not know it until one blew the freaking doors off my buddy's wolfsburg jetta (turbo)... then i asked lots of questions and the guy was really cool about it.
nobody ever thinks my freinds Dakota is fast either... it's an R/T but it has 16" dodge wheels and not the 17's u usually see, and it is a 5-speed (swapped before bought), with intake, exhaust, mild cam... it's sweet, and a pretty good sleeper (runs 13's)

yeah my exhaust looks stock but before the muffler its 3 inchs all the way back. and im not on stock turbo. its a lot of fun.

What motor was in it Grand National?

Volvo didnt make a rwd turbo 6.

Used to have an 850 with lots of shit done.

No no no. Maybe you dont know much about cars. Ok you had a 740. Those are rear wheel drive. They come with a turbo 2.3 four cylinder max. So what you had if you arent lying had to be a swap.

now

what kind of swap was it is what im asking. but you dont know so nevermind.

used to have a 1988 Volvo 740 Station Wagon, 6 Cylinder, Turbo, RWD; only thing on the car that was modded was the exhaust, piping was made bigger. Damn that shit pulled hard. Beat modded eclipses, riced out integras, slow ass civics. Looks on their faces were priceless. Seeing a station wagon fly by them and then their mouths drop open like what the fuck was that... man i miss car.

Hmm. Volvos came with 6cyls, after '88 it was a french PRV v6, similar to what can be found in the Deloreon or Eagle Premieres. Designation was the b280f at 2.8 liters, 160hp. The motor was not turbo'd, from the factory, so you probably had a turbo 2.3l 4cyl. Swapping eagle premiere heads, doing a custom manifold and turboing the engine will make some very good power, but there are very few people who have done this. One such person on the turbobricks board is John lane. His turbo'd volvo 280/premiere hybrid motor with T4 turbo makes 600whp/500wtq at around 12psi. They respond EXTREMELY well to turboing, but most people haven't the time or money for the swap. Also, after turboing the engine, nearly ever single piece of drivetrain starting at the crank, going all the way to the wheel studs (yes, i said wheel studs) shattered.

The grand national swap is another volvo swap that is somewhat common. I know of two turbobrickers that outfitted their vehicles with GN motors, one intercooled, one non-intercooled. The non-intercooled vehicle I, got to drive hands on, having around 20 hours behind the wheel of it, last year driving it from Pennsylavania to Las Vegas. It was VERY fast, had up to 120shot of nitrous and ran a 12flat on slicks. However, this was a 240 series 1982 wagon. Full of rust spots, primer and bondo, we nicknamed the car dirty sanchez. you can find the post about it somewhere on here. VERY fast.

Anyway, which one did you have? Seriously, if you had a turbo'd PRV (i'm not trying to cast doubt here), I'd love to see it. Budget permitting, I'd love to build one, as they are the holy grail of powerplants, but it is a very expensive undertaking. (JL uses a jericho 4spd, custom ford 9" rear end, roll cage etc) Anyway, post up more. I'm curious....Or do you have a 2.3? Eitehr way, they're fun sleepers. I've left many an eclipse, m3, mustang, camaro etc in the dust to onlookers with dropped jaws. Tons of fun.

Yeah thats what i was calling him out on. If he didnt know much about them then he didnt turbo the 6 and probably didnt buy a turboed 6. Probably a 740 tic.

I know your pain on that one. Ported head here, lumpy cam, lots of timing and large exhaust, but people still for some reason can't understand my car is modded. I suppose its because everyone thinks volvos are granpa mobiles. Occaisionally someone will ask me what "got boost?" means. I just ignore them now.i knew i've seen that wagon before !!!! it was fairly recently too. i looked at the sticker and was like....." i wont try it".

well all i know is that it was turboed and it came like that lol i dont know much at all about volvos, it said i dont have the wagon anymore, but i do miss it. It could have been a 6 but not likely since what you have said. And i know its the 740 series. But i dont really know about the 6 part.... so it was just handed down to me from my 'rents...

Everyone knows around here what i have. They always ask me, "so, what mods you got?" I also get asked if i have a H22 in it. Also one time, i revved the hell outta it and this one guy asked if i had nitrous. I laughed my ass off at his stupidity and said no. Another thing is people realize I mean business when i gun the car to redline. I swear it sounds mean as hell and you should see the look on their faces. They mostly think that im gunning it passed 8k. Its the classic WTF was that type of look. I just smile back at them while they wonder.

1g and 2g awds were great but eclipses sold most of their cars to girls that wanted non turbo automatic comfy cars. Thus thats why the 3g is so wuss.

You put systems and bodykits on those not 8k into making it a "sleeper".

and the FMIC can kinda gives your game away.
if Half-Baked was serious about going sleeper, he'd remove the SE-R badge, replace it with a B13 "Sentra" badge (maybe add XE for kicks) and paint the FMIC black with thermal paint.

1439, I'm not sure what it is in particular that gives away the Galant, but I always manage to spot the VR-4s when they go by. What's different about the body on the older VR-4 Galants as opposed to the normal FWD ones? It's probably something obvious, but I can't think of what the normal Galant from that gen looks like.

Yeah I noticed he's a douche when you look at his avatar. :rolleyes:

The Galant VR-4 was only brought to America for 2 years. Never made here just imported from 1991 to 1992. They still made newer vr4's that were basically 3000gt's v6 twins. And then the wagon vr4 known as the legnum.

The front bumper is more open and the vr4 emblem mainly. Every once in a while you'll see a usdm one with the "2.0l turbo awd 4ws" logo on the side or they'll have the 4 wheel steering sticker on the back window.

And the color matched wheels are a big thing exterior wise however interior is completely revamped. (suedu,leather everything) And the plaque on the dash like my avatar. Actually had an Evo guy ask what my numbers meant on my username :confused:

Not really slower, just less potential stock.

New Civic SI stock vs 1g Talon TSi stock is a close race.

Put a bleeder valve and catback on the Talon and the Civic gets its ass busted.

We can ride just about anywhere, blowing off, slinging the tail out and being just general idiots, driving agressively (its hard to get attention in that car) and people still think were just a couple of guys out causing trouble in their moms car.

I tried hard to make my car apparent, yet its still a sleeper with a 3" exhaust underneath and "got boost" sticker. Sleeper isn't so much a matter of desguising your vehicle, but of picking a vehicle that dosn't stick out in the average person's mind.

He drives a Cavalier. Now read his username. There's your swap.

And yes, Cobalier, your car looks stock as hell even with the hood popped. People just don't understand until they get smoked. :goodjob:

Not to him apparently. We all know that the Sentra is nothing but a serious down-to-business man machine. :crazy:

Just a note on the side: I love the B13 SE-R, but HalfBaked seems to be a little too into himself and unappreciative of other people's cars. :jerkit:

No, I just don't like j-bodies.

They are poorly made cars that have some of the worst crash ratings ever.

I wouldn't drive one even if it was just handed to me.

If he swapped the supercharged motor from the cobalt into his crapalier then it may be quickish.

Probably faster then a bone stock sr20det 240. But one with like exhaust or boost controller would rape that car I'm sure.

I'd be more then happy to race the cavalier in my sentra. Just to show him which economy car is better.

I bet the Sentra would show him up pretty bad. I didn't realize there was a whole lot of shit you could do to them until i saw a Se-r w/a SR20 + a frount mount at a nissan meet up in Gwinnett. Anyways, most people don't assume my car is stock cus they see the big ass muffler.

Man, you can't make sentras fast tho.

Mine is soo damn slow. I mean in like 1st and 2nd gear sometimes it feels like I'm not even moving it is so slow.

Was your B13 the white one at Barrett? Looked clean and I think I did see a FMIC hidden behind the grill. The SR20DE in the B13 has potential (just like any other SR20) but being FWD, it's hard to utilize a lot of power as you're usually just met with a lose of traction and wheel-hop. I'd like to you and the Cobalier run one day.

Yes mine is the white b13 and yea that was a fmic.

There were 2 out that night, mine was the cleaner of the two haha.

I'd love to run that cobalier.
