For a while now we all know about the crackdown on hoons, booze buses, drug testings ect...

but what i been spotting is rather interesting but scary.

last week going to the wheeler's was at traffic lights when unmarked cop pulls up right next to me...driving old ford falcon model ( i dont think ive seen cops driving ford ion very long time)....was a bit worried since i had 1 more person sitting in the middle of the 33..as you know theres no middle seat. but they went by and didnt take notice

then few days ago was at knox and saw under covers driving a toyota orion or camry...

then again i saw another patrol car which was a unmarked holden vt....

only way i realised they were cops was because of the jackets they were wearing and the antena out the back.

just thought id let some of you guys know to be careful as they could be anywhere and you may not take notice. so a warning ..if anyone attempting to do anything in public or around traffic ....look out around you cause cops may be closer than you think now.

i saw a MARKED sukuzi swift cop car 2 days ago in dandy. and im seeing alot more territory's along stud road / dandy area. i loled when i saw the swift all done up with the sirens n marked car. you just dont expect to see it! but atleast its good there doing a crackdown. get few nutcases off the road i guess.. lol

there are policemen who don't work in the TMU, most of whom couldn't give a rats arse about your car. Plus policemen do own normal cars that they drive to and from work while wearing their jackets.

yeah thats true aswel except with the orion/camry they pulled someone over and falcon had lights and gadgets still in it...duno about the vt though.

but still...theres a crackdown so everyone should be careful these days.

There is going to be a MASSIVE crack down due to operation RAID. We had a station meeting and our S/SGT has told us basically to fine everyone and do as many PBT's as possible as every stations stats are going to be examined by extremely highly ranked members.

So in next few weeks don't expect any warnings to be given.

isn't operation RAID more to do with breath tests and drug tests? that shouldn't make guys in sports cars any bigger targets than someone in a regular car should it?

i am sure the information given is detering some drivers from acting up, so therefore having a positive effect... if the higher powers are pissed off about that, f**k em.

and people complain that this guy is a cop... srsly wtf?

thanx for the heads up graeme :blink:

apparently dont know if anyone knows i red a article in go auto news basically saying very soon cops will be driving in victoria with wrx and hsv clubsports unmarked with p's on them trying to drag people and all that but the only good thing is ,is that the cops in the car will be wearing policy uniform

I've regularly seen an undercover corolla (grey?) sitting on Mont Albert road with speed cam attatched, very sneaky.

Also there is regularly a older falcon wagon (cant remember if it was green or maroon) on Warrigal road towards the Canterbury road end.

*In the voice off the add* POLICE ARE EVERYWHERE.

man under cover or not..there are cops everywhere......tonight in taylors lakes i spotted about 6 marked and 1 undercover using the speed gun...spotted 3 marked cars in the matter of a minute.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
