Ive heard this rumour but never seen it myself. I want pictures!!! :nyaanyaa:

NSW trialed WRX about 10 years ago but stopped using them as they kept crashing during pursuit LOL NSW Police deemed them "unsuitable" for the task they were used for. :D

There are no marked police skyline vehicles, but they have been known to use impunded import vehicles to insight street races then arrest the people who join in...

And yes, that's true... they also blew a lot of the turbos...

ha ha i would doubt that very much. Such issues as damages, legal liabilty, insurances etc. Also, legally they are not alowed to encourage you to do something then arrest/charge/fine you for it. If they do, charges will be dropped in court and the police in question will be repremanded etc. Also, what data would they have top proove anything? I cant imagine they would spend a day wiring in all there computers, speed loggers etc into an impounded car.

I suspect its an urban myth. Just my thoughts.

actually brad, entrapment isnt illegal in WA, they can start a race for all the judge cares, if you join in, your fault.

WRX's arent imports either, but the WA police have started using them

Although Australia has no entrapment laws, a court may rule on the reliability of material gained through undercover operations if there is evidence that a defendant has been incited or induced to commit a crime.

Seen a bright orange XR6 Turbo used as a cop car to pull someone over on the freeway a while back.. had big chrome wheels on it lol.

There were 2 cops in uniform but who knows, maybe they were off duty in one of their own cars and pulled someone over anyway..

I once had an undercover "encouraging" me to race on the fwy, I guess you just have to be able to recognise their cars and have the sense not to join in. For the most they do stand out as unmarked police, hehe. I also heard last year that they were using Magnas? anyone know about this? are they still using them?

There is a WRX police car in Perth.

It's been spotted several times, usually giving it shit for no apparent reason.

Also, a XR6T with Mandurah plates has enticed people into runs, then promptly pulled them over. I've witnessed that with my own eyes.

I've seen this marked WRX car, have a photo on my phone along with the P plate squad car, will upload it sometime :D

Also seen several marked Highway Patrol XR6T's, haven't seen an unmarked one though.

Did hear of a rumour about an undercover magna that was enticing people to race..

we get a few xr6t marked highway cars down bunbury way all the time. especially on long weekends they must cruise down for the hell of it. and there was a wrx unmarked police car down here a few years back. was blue and used to entice all the known hoons into racing then bust them

sort of off topic but today i was in canningvale at the set of lights waiting to turn right onto nicolson road away form the livingston shops.

i was at the front of the row and accross form me there was a marked police bike with full uniform on etc waiting to go straight on.

Anyway, when his light went green the cop took off and did a wheelie accross nearly the entire intersection.

It wasnt high, maybe 15cm's of the ground but seeing a cop do one accross an intersection just made my jaw drop.

perhaps not all cops are what we make them out to be and have a bit of hoon at heart..

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
