Why aren't reverse sleepers are a thing?
>get a amazing car with engine broken for cheap
>replace it with a econobox engine = almost free
>enjoy cheap miles and cool ride
That's called being a cuck
what is V6 mustang
>>16529615
Because you can just buy a 2.3L I4 Foxbody that has like 85hp
what is V6 mustang

>buy a IMS bearing failed 996 for nothing
>replace engine

This thread is a reverse sleeper soon.
we already have them
>>16529929
Kek and this fucking thing
>>16529929
Why is it so ugly? Abomination of a body shape.
Damn you Nissan for starting this coupehatchback trend with 350Z.
because

>>16529952
There's nothing wrong with liftback hatches as long as they don't have blob proportions. (Like a tree fiddy)

I don´t get it, the GT-86 was made to compete against the MX-5 and isn´t bad doing so.
>>16529706
>no traction
>>16529948
The Celica was always a shitbox.
>>16530069
because e-peen
Wouldn't a reverse sleeper basically be a ricer?
>>16530069
>all show no go
Were talking about their appearance and relative speed not their marketing strategy
>>16529615
It's called being a ricer
>>16530069
It's the car equivalent of stuffing your crotch with tissue paper before you head off to the club
>>16530103
And the GT-86 performs pretty good around corners.
>99hp prius engine
>>16530122
i know a guy with a riced 2013 iirc f sport and i shrug every time i see it
i can probably smoke it with my fucking city bike
>>16529972
Fucking this. Every goddamn nerd. Even with something that is just a responsible dd that you happen to like the look of like my 94 integra rs. That thing gets almost 35mpg, I dig the look of, and it's pretty fun to drive. But holy shit at every goddamn redlight there is a faggot in a gti golf or shitbox civic revving their fucking angry bumblebee sounding 4 cylinder through a flowmaster at me.
>>16529647
isn't this fake? I want it to be real, I want someone to roll up to a boomer car show with this thing and an extra loud fart can muffler
>>16530422
>integra
>daily driver
>>16530440
What's the problem?
>>16530422
Lol you're me but I have an economical little RSX base.
b
>>16530120
Yeah but it doesnt have the straight line performance that the long hooded, low slung, short deck rwd body suggests!
>>16529615
Its like having a super hot gf without ever fucking her.
I saw an old Chrysler landbarge with a 120 hp Mercedes diesel in the ads once. Definitely not something I'd buy.
>>16530103
All cars nowadays look faster than they are.
>>16529615
Nigga reverse sleepers are when you have riced out car with actual performance. People with sleepers think youre just a ricer and challenge you thinking they're gonna surprise you, but in turn get surprised.
>>16529654
yeah but you are still stuck with that GM quality level interior.
>>16529929
underrated post
>>16529948
I always love how some cuck will try to defend scion as a """""sporty""""" DD. Same with the Veloster, which also fits in this thread.
>>16529615
I mean there's a guy one one of my facebook groups with an ND Miata motor swapped into an FD RX7
>>16531520
Good choice.
>>16531520
I would like that
>>16530361
>>16530122
They are extremely comfy and absurdly cheap to maintain for a luxury car.
something like this but less powerful?
I'm right there with you.

I want to know why engine flip-flops aren't a thing
>buy two contrasting but loved cars
>bastardize both of them by exchanging the drivetrains
personally I want to do this with a Eunos Cosmo and a C7 corbette
>>16529615
I think i could call this a reverse sleeper?
So about 5 years ago i found this 1947 Chevy pick up with a 53 bed sitting on a 94 S10 chassis. Had the 4cylinder with a 5-speed. The body had the whole dilapidated/patina look and had a nice stance to it (actual stance, not jdm "stanced" and not "slammed" in any way). Only wanted $1700 for it. I have/had big blocks, small block, stock 50's classics, LSX's, built euro classics and anything in between and thought this was the coolest little truck. Had a great look and would do 20-30 mpg. I was trying to sell my Barracuda to make room, but was too late and he sold the car just before i sold it. I would have loved to use it as a daily instead of my Camaro, but things happen for a reason i suppose.
i love this idea
For some reason i always liked the thought of a 68-70 charger with the poverty pack 225 slant
Holden 202 in a VR/VS commodore
for murricans, its the equivalent of putting a chevy 250 into a early 90's caprice
>>16529654
I would drop a VR5/6 engine in there.
I think the best reverse sleeper would be buying a classic American car, something with a 400+ ci V8, and then dropping a 3cyl Ecoboost or whatever junkyard Corolla motor into it. And def put a fart can on it so you don't even have to pop the hood to cause boomer butthurt.
>>16531949
1st gen and 3rd gen rx7 drivetrain swaps.
12a in a third gen rx7 is just WHY
>>16532013
So Tokyo Drift mustang then?
>>16532017
>FD becomes dead simple cruiser that leaves the comfy smell of gasoline fumes in its wake
>lighter FB becomes legitimate sleeper
>>16532024
That car pissed off boomers and ricers alike for being a V6 mustang.
>>16532065
I6 you sperg. The rb26dett is over glorified but it is god tier nontheless, especially when big singled.
This guy bought an early 80's Rolls Royce with a blown motor and put in a LS1 and some standard transmission. He just uses it as his car to do the shopping etc, doesn't drive it much as he's retired, but cool to see a RR driving around anyway.

Install speakers ported to the outside to loudly playback engine rumbling noises. That will make your car's engine sound beefier.
>>16530425
it's fake. The pic is real, but it was only taken for shits and giggles. That Vette was getting a built up LS7 V8
>>16532088
Wasn't the engine out of the wrecked Silvia? Or at least in the story
>>16534906
a wrecked rb swapped silvia.
