Are you more of a "SHOW" person or a "SLEEPER" person

dood T plz don't push me son lol....damn I wish my rolla was turbo'd lol I'd b smokin all the Honda "JDM WANNAB" punks around here hehehe ROLLA/Toyota POWER is d bomb baby

hehehe don't u just love it??? lol jk plus u gotz 2 have dat BIATCH power man lol... plus mostly YOU can't tell me that u don't love smokin thoze JDM WANNB ricers....uh??? lol...like one of the many integras u prolly smoked by now lol

Sleepers all the way, unless you throw on a wing to look ricey and slow even though you're fast, and thats just funny. (Trust me my friends have done this, mustangs get pissed off to no end).

I like a mixture of both for sure. The car has to have the look but its nice when it can hold its own on the track too.

For this car it's mainly show but for my mustang (when I get it) it'll be all go!

Both is good you want your car to look good and drew some looks, but Im going for sleeper. Theres nothing funer then pulling up to the lits with a stock looking rolla, and dusting sum punk in his moms minivan, civic, neon, and the list gos on. Thay see a rolla with a young guy driving and thay get 10 feet tall. That until im gone and all they see is my break lits flash, just to rub it in.

i'm neither.. none of you are "sleepers" because we all know the potential of a NA corolla.. next to nothing..

ever heard of Veilside?

haha, way to be blunt

it's true tho.. i mean, aside from intake/exhaust, what have most of you done to make your car a fast "sleeper" ?

and both of those pretty much negate "sleeper" because they are noisy..

Totally agree, only way you can make an n/a sleeper is by doing a full engine build i.e. internals. bolt-ons will never make an n/a fast.

well, besides my viper beating 1.5 of fury

What do u guys think I'll be running when I get my 3sgte swaped in?

my plans are to do the swap with a FMIC, I dk about exhaust yet maybe after emissions or somethin and maybe a boost controller and a turbo timer and about 3-4 months after that maybe some internal work but as of right now just the list above lol..... man I wish I was rich lol

have you researched what it will take to get the 3SGTE in your car? Just asking because one of our old CC guys swapped one into his 91 and said it required LOTS of custom work.

as far as the original thread ?........Not sure how to answer it. With cars like civics and corollas none of us are "Sleepers" aside from a few who are F/I. With me I just wanted to keep the mods functional and the overall look clean, essentially make the car more fun to drive and give it a personal touch. That doesnt really classify as sleeper or show though.

well I talked to Dr. Tweak about the swap and he is the one doing the swap... my plans in about 2-3 yrs from now is to be at the 400+ hp mark hopefully.

Nitrous doesn't count as a mod.

eh it doesn't matter wether is a mod or not he still runs 14's lol

To each his own, but I think nitrous is a cop out. I'd rather my car be able to make the power all the time instead of just when I have the bottle filled up.

Now, if you have a 1500hp turbo viper and you use the nitrous to spool up your monster snails, that's one thing, but I think its uninteresting to rely on the nitrous alone for your power.

What happens when the bottle runs out and someone wants to run you? "My car isn't fast now, I'll get back to you in about a week" sounds ghey.

Whatever happened to racing in a controlled environment instead of endangering lives?

that convo could happen at the track...

yeah cuz we're gonna drive all the way to the track on an empty bottle.. :lame:

That proves my point. That's why you shouldn't have nitrous in the first place!

Sleeper all the way. No one suspects the rolla.

I beg to differ

My sleeper look with o.e. muffler and power parts inside the engine bay (N/A is best).
Take a look at my car domain.

I hate to burst your bubble, but your car is not a sleeper.
