how cool thanks Ruffels

How funny the comments about trying to defect an evo with an evo hehe!

its a dam good trick giving them a deal from mitsi .... what a good promo & test procedure ...we will use taxpayers money to research our cars under extreams ! luv it.

i was lucky to be friends with a HWP dude and get a good look through his rexy a while back.

hope he gets a go in one of these

its also mainly funded by Mitsubishi... the manufacturers usually donate them to the police, as its product placement. Think of the media attention the Evo's will get, and the amount of forums that'll be talking about it.

yeah and that means that everyone is gonna buy it cos a cop has one.... mmm i doubt it. some cops here use kia carnivals as u/c cars... do u c me goin out to buy one? nope....

well cops have everything a m8 of mine did work experience as the herald sun n he went out to a cop place to show off their new cars...

he was saying there was a lambo n ferrari n all top end cars like that...

i know there are some pretty nice cars that go in for cop cars... there is sweet as cars rock up everyday over the rd at the cop place

Thats probably partly because alot of them are using their own cars these days to stay hidden in traffic.

Anyway I drove past a commodore with the same decal on Plenty Rd Bundoora northbound, hidden behind trees a couple of days ago and I was like HUH.. looks like a friggin bridgestone decal on the side? That pic makes the logo alot more visible.. looks pretty gheye like the FnF 33! Maybe they'll start putting up shopping lists as well..

i've got photos on my comp of the following cop cars (marked)

dodge viper

ford mustang

pt cruiser

bmw convertible

saab

GTS or GTO holden coupe in yellow

and ive seen a honda S2000 marked cop car as well....

cant wait to join the force ... lol

nice work mark

Yer, cause apparently Bracks was the one that made all these bad things related to cops happen. I mean the Libs would look after the import scene right??? They wouldn't be finding ways to raise revenue through road users would they? :)

unless ur a psychic how exactally would you no??

maybe if jeff was still large and incharge he could sell off more parts of victoria and Labour wouldn't be taking raod use to these extremes

How is cops driving a FPV GT or XR6 Turbo, different from them driving an Evo?

They're all performance cars, so they've always been hoons, even before "Jeff" was still premier.

f**k off you retard, jokes over..

and you all know exactly what i mean with the tyers.

i was with a friend who just got some brand new dunlop or bridgestone some a rathers, have around 10mm brand new, and he got defectd for bald tyers, along with the car being to low on factory vspec suspension :P

ahahhahaha

and no nate we didnt know wtf ur talking about... that still cracks me up... stock tyres.

if ur mate let them defect him for having brand new tyres and stock suspension hes a tool. the only way they can legally defect you with stock suspension is if something under the car is hanging down... ie. exhaust... and if its a vspec no doubt he has at least a 3inch exhaust and half of them are a lot lower then the stock items.

anyway... like dark said its not like they dont have other performance cars and theres a difference between getting an EVO from mitsi and using a shitty Kia. Did those Kias get any media attention? Do the Camrys? Hilix utes? no... so if u cant understand it perhaps just focus on something else ;)

wtf didnt know about this

y would cops wanna be driving around in evo's?

cause they watched Top Gear?

or so they can catch other people in EVOs after seeing they could keep up with a Lambo on a track... also after watching Top Gear

Great, more tax payers money to wrap round poles or flip into ditches. Kinda reminds me of the WRX fiasco. How many of them were written off or removed from service...

dunno but as shan said pointed out these evos are donated not purchased so dont cost us shit all... except the usual cost for ricey stickers and lights :(

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
