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 ;-) ).

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

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...

Yea i think your right dude... they make heaps of commission on its aswell ey those pricks sitting in the cars?

Theres a pic a couple pages back of that monaro your talking about aswell..

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

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
