    Arrow Ultimate Sleeper Idea

    Well...

    I think this is idea is damn near impossible without a good chunk of money...

    How cool would it be to use a GS-X motor and tranny in one of our cars? Fit a driveshaft to the rear tires...

    Having a fuckin AWD 3gee -- ULTIMATE sleeper...

    Just a brainstorm

    It would cost way to much money--- The motor, tranny, wiring harness, rear axel, new suspension, cluster, mounts.

    It would be cool, but it wouldn't really work, there's so manu countless things that would have to be redone and moved and cut and welded, it wouldn't even be funny.

    Same engine as a 1st gen GSX/t or a TSi/AWD. It's a little heavier, but many people don't even know about them. Then they just come up with this stupid amount of power out of no-where. Hey if you really wanna have some fun, take off the sideskirts and swap the front and rear bumper from a regular galant. That way it looks just like a stock 91-92 galant. They wouldn't even know what hit 'em. An AWD with a turbo'd 4-banger.

    every car has potential. that's like saying it's just a K-car and we've all seen what they can do. i've seen Tauruses that were damn near run into the ground and still going. i was just talking to a guy at work the other day who had like 4 Mercury Sables and he loved them. he swore by them.

    Its the black one right? The one that was going offroading. I posted a couple of pics of it before. Here is the link again http://public.fotki.com/morgie/qsr/crx_gsr_awd_turbo/

    he has a B18C when i checked the engine code on one of his pictues to make sure it was a GSR engine and the tranny is off of a CRV for sure.

    The sleeper theory is totally BULLSHIT.. That shit only works once!! Once you race your car and ppl see it, It won't be a sleeper anymore..

    My idea for a sleeper is dropping a 500hp B18C

    I think they mean cars that look slow and drive fast, not cars that just sit there and "sleep."
