When i was doing security i caught 2 cop cars doing burnouts in a compound opposite silverwater prison & newington village (hill rd). I had the key to the compound so i locked them in and walked up to them. I gave them alot of shit asking if they were rookies and if they'd ticket me if i was doing it (they said no! :thumbdwn: ) So they were apologising and i said if i hear one more word i'm notifying their area commander. I then left the compound with them locked in and went around the corner to see what they were doing :headspin: which was waiting for me to come back! I end up letting them go but not before getting their rego's for safe keeping. After all this, both of them go through the redlight onto Hill Rd while doing burnouts and speeding down the rd. I never called the station, i had the satisfaction of messing with cops at the tender age of 18 :rofl:

Whenever i see cops speeding for no apparent reason i match their speed from a few carlengths behind. No ticket yet and maximum speed was 160 on the M2.

Also raced one of the Police WRX's in 2001 on the M4. He lost!

Well last night in Sydney cops yet again were involved in a police chase that resulted in the death of an innocent passenger (young kid) that was in when a cop was in pursuit of a stolen car. I think something needs to be done there, as its the 2nd incident i can recall in a few months, and it seems to happen there a lot. Its not justifiable if you ask me to push somebody to go 150km+ by some hot head cop.

I think sydney is the worst for this sort of thing. When i was up there i noticed that cops weren't behaving much better than the "hoons" they were attempting to catch.

myself and a few others got a lift to brissie with the schools off duty rent a cop (who's a good bloke actually) to get to some excursion, i've never been in a car that's broken so many traffic laws. speeding, red lights (by accident if that's any better), talking on a mobile phone, failing to stop etc. we were all joking about it by the end.

walking to work this morning saw a cop car coming to a set of red lights then all of a sudden his lights come on and he speeds through the lights....then as soon as he goes through he slows down to the speed limit and turns his lights off.

now tell me they dont abuse there power

a couple of my staff are RFB and are licensed for emergency drving in firetrucks. Apparently all emergency vehicles are breaking the law if they do anything wrong, lights and sirens or not. It is just accepted they need to for their jobs. They said that they (RFB) are not allowed to go over 30 km or they will be busted by cops apperently....they have also been RBT'ed in firetrucks....go figure....i wonder if an onduty hwy has ever been pulled over. Apparently the hwy have their own rules....they also make a few up as they go.

My Dad is a firefighter here in Queensland and tells me that the rules are no more than 10% over the speed limit and they must come to a complete stop before passing through a red light. These are of course only "the rules" as he has told me many a story about four wheel drifts and insane speeds in 13 ton fire trucks :rofl: I also remember a story about going at such a speed on the highway that the red perspex flashing light covers created enough drag to rip the light assembley from the roof of the truck!

I much prefer the thought of an ambulance or fire truck speeding to save a life than a cop car speeding to give a ticket or even worse just mukkin around.

I saw a police going skidding off the rd next to a mate house , he was obviously speeding for no apparent reason, while stuck in the ditch and some minor damage he approached us for assistant, as a law abbiding citizen as i am, my reply was "no as we weren't legally train to tow or push car, but we can verify to your sargent that u were excessively speeding at point of impact." haha and someone else from the group yelled out "high speed low IQ".

I no longer drive down that street, lol.

Thats ***ing funny. Did u take pics???

Followed a paddy wagon from perth to bunbury and average speed was 160 no lights on ...

2 cops got busted going through camera with kkk hoods on and there still on the job.. :bs!: 126 in 60 zone while on duty

    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
    • The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂
    • I use Taaarks/efi solutions ones. Years, and no issues.
    • At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great.
