No you don\'t....

Brett · November 21, 2012, 04:04:46 PM

You don\'t think that would be hilarious? :Giggle

Did you look at that and think "That would be an interesting home for a Turbo Rotary!"?

I did!

Brett · November 21, 2012, 04:22:37 PM

That too

Anyone remember the 13B\'d Skoda Rapide?

Will66 · November 21, 2012, 04:42:44 PM

Yup, that looked frightening!

What a heap! lol

Sleepers are over-rated, especially in the UK nowadays. You can\'t get away with racing on the streets anymore so sleepers are pointless. I mean they are kinda cool at a car show when a starlet has a 13b turbo in it, it used to be fun about 5 years ago. I had a 1.2 nova with a 1600 lump in it and my mate had one of the first XE 2.0 Novas and no one expected it. Now days in the UK, police are to hot on modded cars, cameras are everywhere and enjoying life is due to become illegal in the next few years.

May as well drive around a \'71 dodge charger with a meter wide tyres and 900bhp which looks 100,00000,0000,000 times cooler than that crappy lada :Giggle

My mate used to have 1 of these when we were kids, we turned it upsides down and filled the wings with concrete, it was hilarious you could crash it into stuff and it would do no damage to the car

B.Martin\'s hipster approach to sleepers. Not cool.

Screamer pipe on the 2JZ engine exits just behind the front wheels

13B starlets are fairly common, fun when you go to a run what ya brung day and run an 11 or something

A 2JZ powered Volvo is very cool!

Sleepers will always be cool, and any car can be a sleeper, just keep it looking as standard as poss and wind up the HP to 11!
