ummm....just a thought.....have you guys stopped for a second and wondered if thread starter was actually being sarcastic :)

The question bro, is have you stopped for a second to think that the dude actually meant it... let's face it, for the coppers, the car is not too bad... I mean, it's not bad... quite nice... but I would say SUPERCAR... damn yo!

Guys, you got this all wrong!

It's not actually an XR8, it's just a police conspiracy to make it LOOK like an Xr8.

It's actually an experimental new police car... the XR9!

Yep, 9 cylinders. The extra one is usually turned off, but kicks in when at high speeds! Genius!

The thing on the roof is actually a remote control receiver. Police in a helicopter can manouver the car and ram your butt while they stay safely in the helo. It's also useful for freaking out the stoners who drive to Macdonalds at 4am.

Ok, so I'm bored. It's an Xr8. yay.

Almost makes me wish he's posted that jap skyline cop car again.

i used to work @ cartech (before enfield auto auctions went broke) where all nsw police vehicles were put together and all mods done to them.

theyre nothing special, just a xr8 with the so called "chip" installed. the "chip" is just another computer circuit board installed in them to wire up all the radars,terminals and other bullshit they have to run.

main problem they had was that with all the digital recording equipment they started using the cars were overloading and shitting themselves mid pursuits, which led them to install big arse capacitors to hold power in them during the chase.

drove a few cop cars through the yard and around the carpark area, when they came back to be stripped and sold as stock standard cars, they werent worth much anymore.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
