I was chased by a black WRX for 5mins tonight!


Recommended Posts

it was about 12:20 and i was driving down pennant hills road when a black WRX came right up my tail and was following me... i thought this was a bit odd, and drove slowly to cherrybrook, i was almost at my gf's house and they were still on our tail so we did a lap of the block and they were still following us, by this stage my gf was freaked as they were coming right up behind us then flooring it past us and stopping at the next intersection (green lights, roundabout whatever) so my gf called the cops, she explained that we were being chaced for a while, anyway then we were side by side and i wound my window down, and the guys shouted out the window "how about a race you *****" or something like that and the cops heard it, as they were still on the phone. anyway i said no and just slowed right down to about 30 in a 60 zone and they just dropped it and took off. so the cops put out a call to all cars to look for this wrx.

then on the drive home (the cops didn't know what car i was in) going down becroft road, i passed some cops going the oposite direction. immediatly they turned on their lights and siren hit the breaks did a U turn and pulled me over.

they did the usual have u been drinking, blow in the tube, asking where i had been etc... i explained that i had just been on the phone to the cops as i was chased by a black WRX, and i thought they may have been trying to car jack me as a black WRX carjacked another skyline in the last coupple of weeks. almost immediatly after saying this the officer gave me back my licence and said have a good night.

i guess it shows to do the right thing, anyway it was quite an eventful night to say the least :P

what do u think is going to happen to the driver of the black wrx?

they were just d!ckheads, i don't exactly want them to be shafted by the cops but my gf was freaked and i thought they were going to steal my car for sure.

oh well perhaps it will stop them from killing themselves in the future...

CONAN: I would say they were not from australia

HEROSHIMA: the cops were very interested, they wanted to know where we where what illegal things they were doing (speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road with doubble lines, going around a round about backwards etc...)

CS180: yeah i gave the cops th platess, they immediatly put a call out for it, i assume they checked if it was stolen too...

Brody: If they had a skyline they wouldn't be so stupid.

Blitz: Thanks! i get the feeling though they have received a call before us about the car, they seemed to know immediatly what was going on...

Cereal: GTS=T, but they were so dumb they prob thought it was a gtr coz i got a gtr front bar and skirts.

B-MAN: Thanks, i just cant wait until i have done the advanced driving course, it could have come in handy, they nealy caused a crash on several occasions, mainly coz they were less than a foot from my boot while i was traveling at 60 and when i put the breaks on there was lag for them to do the same.

haveing thought about it over night, i think they are the worst drivers i have ever seen on the roaad. and i think if other people are in the same situation they should report it immedialy, the cops were a good help, and just maybe they will learn a lesson from this

:D

nah, not carjackers, just idiots with nuthin better 2 do i rekon

my mates n i got pulled ova the other night by cops, apparently there r gangs goin around perth with weapons n stuff, just causin fights with people.

The police would have a hard time keepin an eye out 4 this kind o thing

yeah they were after a race, i said that?

Driving around i get this, and im sure every1 else gets this, all the time. Not taking anything away from u, if u were out numbered, the situation could of easily gotten out of hand.

Just something most of us come to live with...still shits me when ppl sit on ure arse when ure doing the limit "hes in a skyline whys he going so slow"...ugh.

i dunno about rexs hey. sure there good value n if u want one then hell, go 4 it. But a lot of the guys ive met or heard of that own em r pretty up emselves.

Has somthing to do with feelin like there king of the road coz theyve got 4 wheel drive and can outlaunch most other cars.

A bit off topic i spose, but u find ppl like the ones in ur rex drivin all types.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
