i cant really consider a fc a sleeper when it typically packs around 200hp from the factory lol
love your engine bay though <3 |
fc are unheard of where i live, they don't even know it's a mazda...let alone turbo 1.3L rotary.........bbbboooooooossttt...pppsssttt....

Mine takes the cake. It only looked like this for one night though, I got my S5 TII swap in and had to go get gas. didnt even have a TII hood yet
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...0608080133.jpg Picture of the engine. I have no updated ones, But have since got Greddy FMIC, AFC-NEO, Blitz exhaust. soon to get Koyo and aftermarket oil coolers http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...81549-00-2.jpg |
An early picture of my car right after i swapped the turbo engine in. Stealth from all angles but the front :)

pshh you guys dont know stealth for shit :)
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...E/DSC00111.jpg Tein Flex coilovers, rear camber rod, slotted brakes, ACT HD pp and clutch, koyo rad, front and rear strut braces, SS oil, brake and clutch lines, 3" RB exhaust, profec B ebc, ported TB, streetported S4 block, haltech e6k, 750/1600cc injectors, walbro 255, BNR stage 3, dyno'd 300whp.. low power b/c im running the stock IC |
i really want a RB exhaust. Its stock looking and works well with being a sleeper.
perfect for my car since i put down over 300. |

Sleeper FCs FTW. That 10AE is exactly how I want my own FC to be eventually; It just looks like a well-maintained stock car on the outside, but it's packing major heat under the hood. I like having a front-mount though, it's a subtle hint to the car's true nature.
|
if i ever get a FMIC, it would be black so its not so noticeable like the standard color.

this is a sleeper, stock body, three different colors, diy stuff everywhere including a home built ebc and a.i. kit, street legal and everything.

The rest of the cars just look like beaters with TII transplants in em to me. |

Hahaha good eye circuit theory. My engine is out of a 1992 luce (japanese 929 sedan used as police cars i have been told). Weird mixture of series 4 and 5 parts. s5 and 4 sensors, s4 metering pump, s5 tps, etc. It is said to have series 5 internals inside as well (which doesnt make sense because i am using the s4 counterweight of my s4 na). I just pulled everything off my s4 na, brackets, sensors etc (water neck is different too) and put it on this block. Was easy to wire too using stock na harness and n333 ecu, i had to mess with tps anyway. Cork sport imported the engine for me, out of an automatic with 122 psi or so on all 6 faces.
Ok......350whp... you deserve sleeper status.....your car is serious :) John ny |

Ok, I know all those "rust bucket" comments are about me. Granted the car really does look like shit in that pic, wich is fine because its not like that anymore. But it doesnt have a spot of rust on it. Not even on the rear wheel wells so its not a rust bucket, but an eyesore.:biggrin:
Btw cars going to a paint booth in a month to get painted. Metalic teal... to contrast my new bronze wheels:naughty: |

No such thing as a sleeper RX-7.

like said above... many people around here are clueless about the rx-7, specifically the FC... FD's do stand out though. I've only seen another FC on the road just regular driving once... they are getting rarer and rarer esp in good condition.
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1232895821 I would not call mine a sleeper yet... all my $ is going into the suspension, diff, brakes ect this season... I'll be swapping it next season. |
I was hoping people would post pics of cars that are mechanically 100% but maybe have some comsmetic issues to deal with. Ideally it would look stock from the outside but when you popped the hood or drove it you would realize that it is not nearly a stock car.
I do have a set of TII rims are going to be painted black, they should looks a bit stealthier than the sportmax. My car is a legit TII though, no swap here. I spent all the time and money on the engine/ems/turbo, drivetrain, suspension and brakes before even thinking of doing something cosmetic, eventually I got the rims.... Jrat or gxl90rx7 are probably some of the best sleeperish 7s. |
No fcs where you live? Thats crazy.....i had no idea they were that rare, i guess it just depends on where you live. There are 5 in my area that i pass on the street regurlarly.
j rat definately +1 john ny |

My I drove my rx for a couple months before i got it painted. My car was like 4 different colors.
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3263/dsc00124kk8.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5...3081550wd6.jpg People would glance at my car and think "What a piece of sh**". But then stare at me as I'm flying by them or when they notice i'm driving on the right hand side. I loved it. |
i'll post mine in a few

Jrat, i didn't know you had that hood man, I like it. Even still most people would probably not expect your car to have 554rwhp...
|
Not when it idles like a normal FC..
:) |
most of these cars arent sleepers. they are just busted up and running close to stock hp

Na those X's looked riced out.
|
^^^^ I disagree... you are always attacking people. I think those X s are a little flashy, but still tastefully done. He was just going for a different style is all.

sleeper is not a stock car, sleeper means that it LOOKS stock or crappy, but runs like a bat out of hell, you suprise people- in other words your car is a sleeper.
