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.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
