I do like stock body a lot, just with better aftermarket wheels and pulled guards.
Like 9J (F) and 10J (R) would be nice on stock body. maybe some small trim pieces to accentuate the body a lil bit.

Gav you trying to make big power?

Boo to sleeper....this is '07 about to be '08, not '99. I'm not saying just concentrate on body work, I say do engine suspension first, then do some body work (aero, paint, wheels). Sleeper cars are so played out and old, make the car look good too, at least get OEM aero (I know still stock, but at least it looks decent and not garbage).

its a lil wierd lol coz sleepers r in over here at the mo. thats y i registered with u guys coz your ideas dnt reach us 4 sum time. im gettin sum serious inspiration from u lot :idea:

i like the look of the aero silvia though, im not into spoilers/wings though. so id hav to ditch that.

im only lukin for about 350hp ruix, the sr20det starts to get unreliable after that. bt.... i get bored really quickly and this is only my wkend car after all, so who knows :D

as stated in other post, i've always been partial the stock look accept when it comes to ride height.

This vehicle is known to be turbocharged and people who do not know about them think they are realy quick, I don't think the silvia or 240SX can be true sleepers anyway. Thats my opinion:smilie_thumbsup:

I guess we got the same opinions haha

If you want a sleeper buy a Maxima, and then rape everyone. People kind of assume a 240sx will be modified or at least aren't surprised when it is, just like Civics. But I don't know if 240sx's over in England are nearly as wide spread so you may get away with it, and I am a fan of sleepers(OEM aero is cool, at least on cars that have OEM options) so I say go for it.

No 240sx is ever a true sleeper...you want a real sleeper do what ^^ said...

240-kid May 25, 2008 02:22 AM

That is true, 240's are assumed to be modded already so..

But I do love sleepers also, though how sleeper you want it to be is entirely up to you.Also it depends on what type of racing you plan on doing, weather it's drag, canyon, auto-x, me I'm more into canyon runs so my set-up might be different fro yours.

Externally this is what I would do:
Circuit Sports Exhaust
Z32 TT Wheels - Good Sticky Tires
Kouki Side Skirts
Take the wing off the Trunk
And a Conservative Drop of ~1.8-2"
And a Small Front Splitter made from ABS Plastic for a bit more grip and some what looks.

The best mods you can do is improve your driving skills and weight reduction.

it looks great stock, how many cars do really? sleeper FTW

240 kouki Jun 6, 2008 01:21 PM

i like the sleeper look and hate it for the same reason. it doesnt attract attention from cops wich is good but i want people to see my car and be like damn. a 240 could could never be a sleeper cause people hear the skyline engines that owners put into them. now a civic can be sleeper cause people dont really expect anything from civics. not every car should be low key.
