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.

sleeper does not mean rust bucket with power imo...

That black one could be a sleeper if it has some decent power and the white one with the V-mount could be if it has a decent turbo to go along with the v-mount and loses the hood stickers.

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

+1, when I think of sleeper, I think of a car that looks stock, but well maintained, with tons of power. Though 'beater' cars with power are cool in their own way.

Ok, I know all those "rust bucket" comments are about me. Granted the car really does look like **** 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.

Btw cars going to a paint booth in a month to get painted. Metalic teal... to contrast my new bronze wheels
