Hey Guys,

Just to give you guys the heads up. There is a new undercover patrol car in the west area (st albans, deer park, keilor,delahey). He has been pulling everyone over. Even worse he hunts modified vehicles down.

If you see a VY SS (dark blue) with darkish tint, stay clear.

I saw him the otherday do a u turn on a busy road as he stopped a modified vehicle. The worse thing is he was literally hunting the modified vehicle down through the back streets of town. And i thought they were to serve a protect.

Ive spoken to some local business in the area and they all know his vehicle. So guys just take car around this area. Anyone run into him?

Cheers

Adam

how american culture pervades...

l.a. cops i believe have the motto 'to serve and protect' - i don't think any cops in australia have this motto...

2 x undercover SS's patrol beach rd, Silver and Purple. You can tell from the rear windscreen, 1 or both have a sun-visor type type thing to hide the red/blue lights.... i haven't come across them whilst i've been in the 34, so i'm not sure if they are the hunting type...

hmmm - here on the east side, all i see is cop cars everywhere on friday and sat nights - its quite amazing. Had one follow me for a bit up stephensons rd in mount waverley. I was about to speed up, cos he was getting close real fast - but thank god i slowed down - it was a holden commo divy van. They do anything to make you speed - so stick to your speed limit no matter what.

of course they are going to pull over modified cars, its their job

Yeah, It's their job coz of the odd d-heads who give importers the rep they have. Everyone oons here & there but some guys just don't get it and do it in public (dangerous) places.

Don't have that problem now I have the ultimate undercover hoon mobile - a Magna wagon! :D

No power = no stoopidness.

victoria police motto

"uphold the right"

Fact of the matter is you are committing an offence by driving an unroadworthy car.

The means by which they go about their job sometimes may seem out of order, but they can easily justify it.

We'll just skirt around their cars being unroadworthy as well hey :cheers:

umm, so how do they know its modified in the first place?

a friend of mind got this 1991 Honda NSX. last year a cop pulled him over to check his car. then he asked why the engine is on the back and he said the car is too low? :D:)

idiot :D

ps:no offense for cops outhere

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
