Police WRX (chatswood area)

[nissaner]

just spotted a blue wrx with rally car stickers all over the car (bonnet, doors, boots etc)... on fullers road chatswood, heading up to chatswood toyota... i saw it coming up the hill and thought... hmm... someone's bored with their plain looking wrx???? and upon passing the car, i checked the rearview mirror... and what do i see???? "POLICE" sticker on the boot (the standard blue on white sticker... or is it white on blue... i don't know :wassup: )

just wondering if it really belongs to the local police or is someone being real brave and putting police sticker on their car for jokes?? number plate was the new standard black on yellow (AA11AA format)

As far as i was aware the Police weren't using WRX's anymore........but i could be mistaken

only fairfield police has them.. for driver education purposes, they were at drag combat last year spreading their message it was a STI though 2003

The police used to bring a wrx cop car to WSID on wednesdays. Even did some runs to.

Pity they couldn't get it to run quicker than a 15 sec pass

I don't think it is an STI, though. It is supposed to be used to encourage people against street racing. Doesn't seem to be working.

[Dahtone Racing]

it is an STi ive seen it up close

[NXTIME]

Yes, an STI...a 15 sec one

[MYSTR33]

hahaha u like contradicting urself NXTIME? =P

[NXTIME]

Nope. Correcting, not contradicting. As I said earlier, I didn't think it was an STI. No definites there Especially since I recall it running 15's - you'd expect an STI to get into the 13's.

A quick search confirmed it.

[nissaner]

NXTIME, the one i've seen had the same decals... though its not the same car (it had the AA11AA number plate...)

last wrx police car i saw, he booked me and i lost my license only to receive a letter from the RTA 6 months later saying that we're sorry it was a mistake the radar on the wrx cop car was bodgy. bloody fantastic.

[KILL HSV]

didn't the cops trial run some rexies a few years ago, but they gave that idea the flick, cos they crashed them all?

werent the speedos in them defective? or the calibration in them changed over time?....and then the cops hit subaru with a damages suit?

[Lepperfish]

Are those WRX cop cars Automatic or manual, being auto probably explains its slow 1/4 mile times.

[MYSTR33]

i dont care i was right first

[ApleX]

yeah i heard they were all abandoned casue the cops crashed them all. but i saw one or 2 round the north shore area...

[Goon]

they prob abandoned them because they kept pulling each other over.
