Vic Unmarked Police Cars

[Gazee]

i heard they are heavily modified. then again alot of people talk smack.

LOL yes thats true... i've only heard steering and ecu chip... but yea i've never actually spoken to a cop to ask what they've got done..

[evade]

i saw that lambo in the flesh when I was in rome.

here's the pic I snapped..there were a heap of people running after it taking photos haha

[saff_cossie]

[ziad]

alan didint u see the (old) roman (times) cop in the middle of the road ushering the ppl away. he is even got a sword brandishing, i can only assume he is saying that move out of the way or prepare to die (u infidels ;-) ).

[dezz]

Heyy... dont be kissing me with those lips... i think.. i'm going.. to be sick...

Anyways... dezz do you know what mods are done to the cop cars?

From what i've heard over the years they have some form of chipped ECU, and some suspension....they also carry a fair bit of weight with all the shit they add on so performance wise it'd balance out the 'mods' anyway

[Jamezilla]

Cop motor

Cop tyres

Cop suspensions

Cop shocks

And SCOMODS

But no cigarette lighter

[sillylankan]

scomods?

[Gazee]

scomods?

I asked the same thing lol

With the weight in the cop cars i know their sedans have plastic seats at the back... very uncumftable... but yea they would be carrying a bit more weight unless its just a dedicated highway patrol car... now they f*kn fly...

Does that make it go faster? and if they painted it red how would it go? shed at least a second off the 1/4 mile time lol

[dezz]

I've seen that marked GTO Monaro in the city a couple of years ago...actually has the HSVGTO plates on it!

All the Hyundai and other crap cars that sit on the side of the road with cameras...aren't they all Tennix cars as the cops outsource this job to Tennix ..?

lol looks like they forgot to remove everything before they palmed it off...

Anyone know exactly what's done to the cop cars?

I know Holden cop cars get a heavy duty wiring loom for accessories like lights and sirens, speedo head goes up in 2kmh increments instead of 5 kmh.

The marked white Commodores get 15"stockies all round with 225/65/15 tyres (wider than standard) lowered FE2 suspension from the SS's models.

Highway persuit cars get smaller 17" wheels instead of the standard 18"inch wheels, the auto can be pulled back from Drive into Second gear without using the button on the gear shift to shift down and some get a shit yellow paint job however most persuit cars are white with an orrange strip down the sides.

As far as ECU upgrades go they are a myth. All servicing is carried out as per normal by Holden dealerships but is also logged in a special folder held at the dealership. After a high speed chase the brakes and brake fluid has to be inspected and/or changed and if a tyre is showing signs of abnormal wear or they get a puncture they must be replaced as opposed to repaired

Interesting... so the ecu thing is bullshit.. lol i actually thaught they were remapped or something... hmm...
