Ideas For Cheap Stealth Car

[jmac]

...plus if it was still FWD then it would change lanes spontaneously every time you floored it.

"Hmm I think I wanna merge left" *pssch* SCREEEECH

Although that would be kinda amusing... :lol:

[Mr. Oizo]

think about this,

high powered fwd car

when you accelerate, the front of the car lifts

so the place that you need the most traction has just been lifted off the ground....

heh yeah don't the FWD drag guys need to chock up their rear suspension or something so it's rock hard just to keep the fronts on the deck?

i was talking about the probably-terrifying levels of torque steer you'd get if you stuffed lots of evo power into a floppy FWD lancer chassis too...

i'll stick to RWD or AWD thanks....

Like shyster suggested... 1990 - 1992 Toyota Cressida (MX83) with 1JZ conversion... its been done oh so many times in australia/nz, but you would so fly under the radar.

you can then take it a step further and fit a JZX81 Chaser (or even Mark II) bodykit to it (which should fit with minimal changes)...

that silver one is awesome - definitely my style. put some grandpa wheels on it, paint the FMIC black and tone down the cut-out in the front bumper and who's gonna know?

(until you toast 'em)

[funkymonkey]

you should be able to pick up a good one owned by a nice little family for under 3 grand.

I'm definitely on the Cressida bandwagon. One of the guys at work has one(stocker), and I always look at it and think hmmm....

But then I've always wanted a Honda City Turbo, after I got annihilated at the lights by one in my Liberty. Also of course the Nissan March Super-Turbo, Mira Turbo etc.

Grab a cheap used intercooler or one of the cheap Chinese ones, front mout it, and then swap your scooped bonnet with someone else who wants it for one that is normal, for the stealth look. An decent exhaust should cost f-all, same with a bleed valve. They are so light, you'd chop so many cars that didn't ecpect it.

i had a 318 bmw with a fj20 yrs ago that went like a cat with deep heat on its balls.

looked stock but beat the crap out of many unsupecting suckers

Speaking of front wheel drives

Maybe a Suzuki GTI with an avo turbo kit on it

Avo has kits for same thing for Honda civics’, Rav 4's and mx-5's I think

“80%” power boost “with appropriate exhaust modifications”- or something like that!

Kit only about $5k or less and car should be about $5k as well.

10k sleeper

I got a mate who pulled that trick on a few people.

Then he got curious.

idiot.

and he drives a skyline. I guess they are all crazy.

and on the FWD topic, what about a 70s model civic (they still exist)? put the blower off a 1JZ (?) on it (~$250 + fittings). Fit some proper rubber and some tie down bars. And hang on

[hot_c210]

the best ive seen is my mates brothers vw combi lowered, tinted windows, black paintwork, with a leyland p76 engine. it stood the van up at the line and ran faster than most if not all v8 fords and holdens

[Big Rizza]

Gotta love the number plates on the silver cressida!

[jmac]

Why not Cressida + 2JZ???
