Despise hondas, but can make an exception for this one. Dont like the sound of that new exhaust though its crap. bring back the other exhaust!

Hmm actually suspect first video might be headers and thats it! Sound un muffled at the least.

Needs harder springs/ shocks to cope with the extra weight in the front. I cant imagine it goes around corners very well.

LOL . Clearly it's still a "work in progress" but the potential is definitely there. The new exhaust is a lot better for the sleeper concept.

A mid engined CRX would've been cool. I like little CRXs. I knew a woman with a mint Mugen one. She sold it. It's probably been bent around a pole now.

Thats funny over the top for sure, at least do it to a heavier car.

read 'unassuming exterior', so no mags, aftermarket paint & bodykit as per your 'sleeper'. also wikipedia is made from info posted from the publicrather than definitive definitions. Back in the day a sleeper was absolutely factory looking from the outside, not just a car that goes faster than it looks with a few surprises.

LOL, I never said it was finished & thats pretty clear by the video. Body looks pretty std & unmodified on the outside. A sleeper car is what you say it is plus whats been done to this example.
It's certainly got a few surprises in store for anybody wanting a "go at it"& potential for a lot of other work to be done. Most "sleeper car's"do have wider wheels then std but with std or std looking bodys & engine far in excess of factory fitted. This fit's the bill butwhat else he ends up doing to it, depends on if he wants it as a sleeper or not.
A total sleeper with a high performance engine & std factory width tyres & rims, wouldn't stay on the road for long & certainly wouldn't (or shouldn't) get a cert in NZ no matter whats been done underneath.

Mags are so common these days that no one takes any notice of that part. Ppl DO notice LOUD exhausts & super over size wheels
LOL blimin HUGE . difference in money spent between them I know which 1 will hurt the most when it goes bang & will probably be the smaller engine 1st.
Your example is built for track work mostly with a pretty healthy wallet. The other is a fun car, built cheap /goes well/ tons of fun on a small tight budget. ** No real loss if the v8 pops, just stick another doner in there & away ya go. The race car goes pop & >. .so does ya wallet>> > >>>> > > >> >
