I want to see some fast cars on a budget. Paint and body work is of little concern. I want to see some home fabrication and DIY handywork. Low key sleepers are welcome… :ninja Please post pics, dont be shy ---

I wouldn’t say a Honda is anything Stealthy. I fear basically none except the turbo ones and then I check the tires. If street tires, I laugh. However, a properly set up Honda is very dangerous given their ability to make power and have no weight. Interesting that they seem to run 15-17 or 10-11. So either I care or don’t care at all. ---

I love the hidden turbo set up. Globe should post more pics of those cause they are so :ninja. It might not be the best performing set up but it looks stock and would surprise the shit out of you if you didnt know otherwise. I want to buy a honda just to do that. Reckone should have some pics… ---

Its not hard to clean it up a bit, not necessarily the engine bay but the welds and all that. I bet it would perform better with just a bit more effort. ---
