It's not new. Back in the 60s, NSW police used Mini Cooper Ss, and they also used XY GTs dressed as Futura 500s.

A few years ago, I spied a WRX sitting up in a cutting waiting to pounce on unsuspecting speedsters near Lake Nilacootie (near Benalia).

In the 60s? How old are you???

Either way, they got in trouble for the P plates a little while ago... Word gets around about what car is a D as well these days... pretty much anything can be, hell, a cop can pull you over in his daughters car off duty if he borrowed it that day...

It blows :D

lulz

Its not the car that gives you away john law

It’s the the combination of a multitude of screamingly obvious car ariels and two, noticeably out of place, grown men sitting behind the wheel or an 06 WRX... wake up, your not going to catch hoons with these n00b tactics

what you need is undercover cop bikes... ffs do WE have to do all the thinking for you?

Already happeing in vic.

Anyone remember the unmarked WRX's years ago? Or the HSV GTO coupe with HSVGTO plates?

I have also been seeing plenty or Ford Territory's and Mitsi 380's getting about with UC's in them.

Yep...Vic TMU had a fleet of WRX's they used back in the early 2000's. Rumour has it that they stopped using WRX's because they kept stacking them :D

Anyway I wonder what the legality is in regard to them displaying P plates when they are on a full licence?

Best way to geta round it is to put up a homemade p-plate that does not comply to the regulations, then it is officially not considered a proper p-plate.

EG - in Vic P plate must be 150mm X 150mm white 'P' on a red background, so just make the thing 145mm X 145mm (Thats also why NSW p-plates are not valid in Vic or those ghey plate people make up by cutting them into patterns or whatever.)

Rumour has it that they stopped using WRX's because they kept stacking them ;)

LOL there may or may not be a shop in Oakliegh that was putting aftermarket ECU's into marked and unmarked WRX's who had multiple pics up on their shop wall of all the stacked and broken rex's they'd seen... Boys obviously cant handle the wrx POWAH!!1!

I spotted a white XR6 turbo undercover pulling peeps over in Werribee last week.

Whilst cruising with Brisbane SAU late last year, a cop in a black 380 UC was having a field day up Mt Coot-tha as there were a number of seperate import cruises up there. The prick was like a fox in a hen house!

Isnt it an offence to have a p plate on if you're a full licenced driver?

nope. just an offence to not have p plates on if you are a p plater

im pretty sure the cops stopped using the WRXs coz the speedos werent calibrated right...

Pretty sure that's wrong... Someone was saying that having plates on when he isn't a P plater is an offence... though they rarely enforce it...

Edit: In NSW

I know in Queensland displaying “L” plates and a “P” plate when you’re not on them is a finable offence, which they do enforce here.

I showed my father the story on the link, an he said one of his mates was issued a fine in St Kilda for driving his daughters car with P plates still on

    • 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
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
