      @@tomparker962 sleeper is designation car enthusiasts give to cars that SEEM slow and ordinary, but are very fast. This transformation usually occurs by the help of engine swaps and clever workarounds. Same term is also relevant in computer slang, meaning computers that look slow and old but perform very fast, those are called sleeper pcs.

    I have no fondness for a corsa b. But this is one of the best genuine sleeper builds I've seen. From the side, and particularly from behind the performance potential is almost unnoticeable- even to another petrolhead. The intercooler though on show is very stealthily done too - the cut numberplate is genius!

      my friend had a polo with 500hp, and it was not fast (im not sure sleepser is the right word)
      it just went sideways when it got gas
      those light wieght cars often end up, outside the road in a crash with a long skid mark..
      cause they have no weight to keep the car on the road and the power in the ground (that also goes for stopping power)
      i have driven 200m with the car skidding backwards, the cops did the mesurement, and that was a standard 206 that saw a bit of rain in a turn..
      the car ended up in the busstop where the bus had just picked up people, i was not the driver

    So many of these were eaten by the scrappage scheme. It's a nice sleeper, a lot of work went in to it, and beautifully done. Really liked the standard looking faux exhaust!

      Same with Mitsubishi Colt, 1990.-1994. Hadn't seen those in while, but by pure luck- I got 1992. Colt with NO RUST on underbody... Just couple rust spots, where paint was scrapped on panels. No cracks on dashboard.

    That's a tremendous wee motor, super work there. That number plate 🤩 The conversion looks very, very well done. Very close plate to my old B that I had for 11 years and only sold last year W226LBL. Only a 1 litre mind, although I've got 2 Saab Turbos now, I've kind of done things a bit weird there!

    Excellent build Im not generally a corsa or Vauxhall fan but do appreciate peoples hard work. Love the fact that he's thought about maintaining it and generally trying to improve on other builds. Ive owned converted cars and trucks and seen loads of conversions. Helped build etc. A lot of the time the only way to maintain certain things is to struggle or remove the engine, have to unbolt everything turn it in engine bay etc. seen so many where they've just wanted to get the engine in the hole and then make do. Can understand the keenness to get it done but its those details that make owning it after the build better. I currently have a mk1 Ford focus with a cossie in it. Mechanically the conversion was very good, the wiring.....thats another story.
