They are targetting these 3 area's, Altona not so much as Werribee & Hoppers, pulling any modified car over.

Watch out if you drive an import around these area's, ths month they are cracking down hard here.

not that i doubt anyone with a total of 17 posts.. but how did u come across this information to come to this conclusion?

run in with the law so they must be pulling everyone over?

u work in the police force? (although i doubt that anyone in the police force would refer to them as T.O.G.S as im sure they replaced them with T.M.U)

or just a "heard it through the grapevine"?

LOL wat!!!

ive lived in Hoppers for 4 yrs now and ive not once heard of shooting or a murder.

I lived in geelong for 15 yrs prior to moving here and now yeh, u do hear about murders and shootings and ofcourse drug dealers there but drug dealers are in every suburb its just that u dont hear/see it.

i mean the real western suburbs, sunshine, st albans, albion etc...

Dandenong, Frankston, Springvale, Boxhill,

Moot point buddy.

You're more likely to get your car stolen in the West, that said, you're more likely to be murdered in the East. Crime is sporadic and yes, social factors to come into account to a certain extent, but the socio-economic status of various suburbs in the East and West varies. (Compare Dandenong for example, to Mordiallac, or Sunshine to Taylors Lakes....vast contrast in socio economic status!)

In simple English, there are good and bad suburbs, in both the East and West.

They are???

Ive had my R33 in Hoppers for 14 months so far and only been pulled over once and nothing happened, was just a "random check"

Can i ask how u know this XXX-33???

seen them busting people on old Geelong rd and today while going to get my exaust fitted on my car an exaust centre on Old geelong rd confirmed it by telling me that they have been driving up and down and around hoppers werribee area hunting people with modded cars.

i put this up to give people in this area a heads up.

buddy, im just giving a heads up, im not posting this for no reason.

i know that williamstown always has cops cruisin around

i never take my line out there in summer, they pull ANYONE over.

theyve also put poles up along the esplanade in altona and williamstown so no dicks can drag up n down all day...

Seeing cops pull over a couple of people in imports and then coming on here warning people of the "blitz" is not really a reason.

Read your title of this thread and then read what you wrote and if u still wonder why no one cares or why people doubt the accuracy of your information... eat your own head.

I was pulled over there as well a couple of years ago in the gazelle, I was 'driving too slowly'.. (because we were trying to find the house that was vacant) on an empty street at night.. pfft.. apparently there's a power station or something there that would be the #1 terrorist target in melbourne.. but that's only according to the TMU chick that pulled me over.

I think there's something to this socalled 'blitz' but it's not only around those areas.. I haven't been hassled once around here (northern burbs) until last week and a few days later I personally saw about 4 cars getting defected in the same area, all on the same day, including a ricey supra which was pulled over right in front of me. And then 10mins later the same cop was sitting on the side of the road, ignoring a bunch of people speeding/being 'hoons' etc and obviously waiting for a ricer to drive past.

Also been told by a workshop that they're getting everyone around here for ground clearance atm. Maybe they're trying to pump everyone's tax returns back into the govt.

my mate was there last summer and he reckons he saw cops randomly putting canarys on any parked cars that looked dodgey (not just imports) they left notes saying they needed to report to epa or someshit...i never go there, too much of a pain in the ass....

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
