I dyno'd my last RX-7 at the Rosen shop about a year ago, that wagon was sitting out front.:drool: They closed down though, I wonder why?

A turbo'd B18C swapped wagon has always been a dream of mine... after college, after I'm running a T04/13BT, after an '80 RX-7 resto project, then I'll get to it. h:

So this tech at my work, while test driving an NSX, pulls up to a light next to my friend mike in a pretty stock-looking gsr. mike looks over and smiles to which the tech replies, "you know this is an NSX, right?" mike chuckles a bit and waits for the light to change green, and when it did he fawked that NSX up. wned: sort of a sleeper kill story. makes us integra owners feel good... now if i could only put down 350 hp to the front wheels i could rape an NSX.

a sleeper would be like spraypainting your front mount intercooler black and having your boost gage hidden in your sunvisor :naughty:

everyone says a stock looking car with a badass motor is a sleeper,..but,..i think a car that is riced out to the extreme,..like big ass wing,..body kits,..altezzas and stickers everywhere would be a sleeper if he had a badass motor,..with that said,..no one expects my widebody civic to run 13s
