Was cruising down heathcoate rd moorebank when a green SS and a yellow XR8 come flying up through the traffic the XR8 slows down next to me gives it a rev then looks inside to see my 8 year old daughter starring back at him from the passenger seat, he then dropped down a gear and floored it to catch up to the SS, Shortly afterwoods i was sitting at lights when the SS and XR8 pulled up after doing a blockie and to my surprise the were cops with lights on the dash and plain clothed.

I suspect they thought i would race them and make a easy bust.

BEWARE :banana:

Why beware? Anyone with half a brain would realise a XR8 or a SS Commodore could potentially be a cop car. I have no sympathy for someone who gets booked like this, if you have something to prove do it on the track.

there the boys with 000Racing decals on the rear windows...obviously a take on 888Racing from the V8 supercars.

them behaving contrary to traffic laws on the road is disgusting...but anyone who is a wanker enough to get sucked in by them deserves it.

Lol I had one of them F6 typhoons or whatever their called trying to g me up the other day, kept coming right next to me then dropping back a bit then boosting the hell out of it and flying past me. When we were both stopped at the lights I noticed his lights on the dash.

I had one of these try and race me the other day, i thought it might have been a police car because it had lights and signs on it, the spike strip at the front was effective in attacking pedestrians...

Got to love top gear, the original anyway ours is poo.

MR CASSBO, On the above topic, I guess you cruise around doing 60 in a 60 zone and no taking off from the lights with a little bit of enthusiasm. I thing you took what i said as i wanted to race, not so, if your near one of these cars and take of a bit quick I'm sure they will say you tried to race them.

We have a black SS ute in Canberra who baits you as well. Sat right up my butt for miles, others have said he tries to g you up at the lights.

As for video... I say youtube would make the ombudsman take a good look.

There are more than just these two cars out there doing this. I actually got done the other night by a green XR6 (I think) turbo. I was on my bike and stopped beside them at the lights. Illegal tint so I couldn't see inside. I took off as normal, which on a litre+ bike is a lot faster than a car. The car beside me accelerated hard to stay with me to about the speed limit. First thing that goes through a bike riders mind when a car does this is 'get away from me', so I accelerated away. I'm venerable on a bike and I don't like dickheads driving like tools anywhere near me. Secondly there is a side street that comes onto the street just past this intersection so I didn't want to be out of sight, slightly behind this car, which is where I would be if I slowed down instead, as this is a dangerous position to be in if a car comes out of that side street.

So of course I accelerated some more and kept a good distance between myself and the XR6. It occurred to me that it might be a cop car but the illegal tint, illegal fog lights on and strange driving made me think otherwise.

All that said; I broke the speed limit and I got done. I had all my points previously as it's a long time since I've done anything wrong so I lost 3 points and $81 for <15 over. As the cost and points are low I will not be contesting it.

Just another hazard on the road really. We already have to watch out for so many so now that we know about this one, we can avoid it too.

I dont really race on the road anymore i still give it a hit every now and then. but ive always had this thing if a holden ford or a camry comes racing up behind me or is baiting me at the lights just ignor them cause theres a good chance they are cops. especially if they stick or tailgate you

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
