stupid cops. wasting taxpayers money like that!

i read an article about the lotus, and apparently its purpose is to improve relations with young drivers by creating a conversation point hahah!

i think most skyline drivers would rather talk about their own cars...

when are they going to realise that the only time people speak to police officers is when theyve been pulled over, or are the victim of a crime etc? people are never going to be HAPPY to speak to police!

court case on friday! cant wait!

More like stupid idiots like you that have NFI what you're on about!!!

The cars are GIVEN to the police. They are used for high visibility and PR gatherings.

I hope you lose on Friday!

I see that one all the time. They are from the waverley station. What are you doing out this way Sam!

I really don't think stations would be able to afford cars like these.

I know a couple of them have bought bikes for easy access but I have never heard of them buying cars like the lotus. I wouldn't think they would have the budget for it.

ive seen a few differnet cop cars

saab 9.3 aero

smart car

pt cruiser

and thats only naming a few

i wouldn't of thought you could make a crysler uglier, but that would do it.

my mate got pulled over in an undercover yello bmw. i've seen a few saab cop cars

criss cross - not everyone carries cameras in their cars or have picture phones that can upload images to the net.........

I'm fairly certain that the state government paid for the rental of the Lotus...

The Lotus Exige was LOANED to the NSW Police by Lotus Cars Australia - refer to an article in Motor Magazine earlier this year

Down in the shire..

once saw a green Jimny Soft top at cronulla with police livery and once i saw a white Toyota Avensis Verso pull someone over. You will find that City police stations will use cars like the Punto and other small cars as it will be more economical and better for commuting and easier to park than Commos and Falcons.

also have heard rumours that blue mountains police had a Ferrari 360 or 355 a while back

undercover anti street drifting cop car flanked on sides by TMU. watch out for this car, they use it to infiltrate street drifts then swoop in with the others. if you see the driver, give him the finger, swear at him and punch him on the cock.

true story.

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet.
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.
