And so we start again, this is day one of the sleeper build

The only mod on the outside will be the wheels, and the change from a 2ltr hlx front bumper to a lowly 1.6 bumper and 1.6 badges.


The unsuspecting engine bay


and even more unsuspecting aircon pump


got to squeeze this in there somehow


don't need this bit.


Well that wasn't to difficult, was it?


that's a bit more subtle


and this is the throttle-body's new home

Next part of the jigsaw

sounds like a good project

what have you done with the hlx front bumper as im looking for one with fog

cheers

one word "sleeper"

Great project..

Love 'sleeper' cars.

A mate had an old Renault 4 van years ago with the gordini lump in it... kept it on the original 1100cc box....weeeeeeeeeeee

I like it! what size wheels are on the sleeper? 16's?

wha happened to your charged marea-yellow 1? was following that with lots of interest!!

so ur planning on charging and turboing this best then?? jesus can just imagine the torque steer on that lol -hello bushes hhahaha

Ade

You mean this one.


It's being used as a donor for the sleeper.

Got a link to a project log of the yellow one? be intrested to see the amount of work that took. looks awesome btw how much power was it putting out?

All the water and electrics now done, and initial layout of the boost
pipes,
I think I'll get it running properly with the supercharger before I fit
the Turbo.

looking good. could i ask though, i know your going sleeper and all but was there anything wrong with your other weekend or just a case of a change?

Its Not How Fast You Drive Its How You Drive Fast

It's a long story, but basicaly the engine ended up with water in the sump after some idiot put a gallon of water in the petrol tank (dont ask) so after trying to start the car for a week (pumping water into the sump) I eventually realised I had water in the tank and draind it, put clean petrol in and she fired up, but like a prat I drove 30 miles the next morning (without changing the oil) and the next thing you know, the rattle of death.
so I bought the blue car just for the engine, but decided to mod that instead.

one thing thats baffling me is how are you gona manage to get the Turbo and Supercharger working lol
Sorry for bein dumb,just not seen that done b4..
Good job someone knows what theyre doin lol

bloody hell, thats a bit of a silly thing to do putting water in the petrol tank. hope it all works out for you.

Its Not How Fast You Drive Its How You Drive Fast

that's what you get when your son thinks its a good idea to store water in a petrol can.
