easy way to pick them is look in the mouth of the front bar where the cooler sits.. the siren is there

the other way to pick out undercover cops is too look at the antenna, if its a tall one with a thick base (usually thick black rubber at the base) then watch yourself :D

Signs its undercover cop car:

Plates are Normal issue - I.E Not a white,blue,purple, custom yellow, black etc.

Windows will have squares in them for lights ussually mounted top left and right corners and on dash front centre and rear centre top!

If stock car will have NO hub covers

Will have stock alloys if its a GT-P or any up-market performance car

Will floor it off the lights to waste petrol unless your infront.

Plates will now often have LPG sign as many cars are now going environmently friendly and also cheaper.

If non of these items are on the car (barring the lights) it is a impounded vehicle. Ussally only sporting some features if any, Almost always will have Blue/red lights in the blinkers.

Ussually two people will be in the car - two people are better than one at over powering a person if they get violent!

Although I've never been able to pick a cop car via its ariel they often do have a ariel front of the left hand side comming out of the bonnet gap, rear comming out of the boot gap (left hand side) or in stock position on the middle rear radio ariel situated directly centred on the rear window or above.

Hope this helps some people from being booked, if it doesnt then you deserve it.

Remember impounded and retrieved cars are virtually un detectable.

Oh and in NSW the undercover car of choice is ussually a silver GT-P ford because of its power, common-ness and hoon like apearence.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
