Hi guys, seen a black VE SS commy ute with the full hard back cover, I think one exhaust either side, darker than legal tint, around clayfield, in January this year. Didn't get the plates though. One of my friends has seen this same one in the area (and further north) multiple times.

Pulled up a friend of mine and got him for bald tyres lol. And hey, fair enough, they were... hahaha.

I found some pics of the GTi police car in question.

Note: It has a FULCRUM sticker on the lower right rear hatch.

Confirmed, they do have a 300c and a Hummer. Soon to be adding a EVO X to that list.

I think it's all a bit silly, they roll around in better cars than us and yet we foot the bill with tax.

RE: Police pursuit speed.

They can reach whatever speed they deem is safe and suitable for the chase.

The VW Jetta/GTi has seen speeds of 235km/hr or more while chasing bikes.

These cars are decked out with cameras. So even if you do get away. They'll be at your door pretty soon.

What I found interesting was the fact they were "allowed" to pursue people at these sorts of speeds without any flashing lights or indication that they are police officers.

Double standards....and yes they do agree. COPS HAVE TOO MUCH POWER. :P

Stay safe everyone.

just a little of topic, but not much, has any one thought of an easy way to flick the plates up, cos if they got your plates ya know the games all over, a nice set of old plates is also good. was thinking about pneumatics using air but there has to be an easier way, maybe jst with cables? any one had a go, you boys sound like the guys who could know.

Also was wondering if nz radars can pick up all the the ausie radar bands. theres some nice stealth radar detectors which hide under the bumper, which could be the go, if not maybe they could be recalibrated for ausie conditions. also final question do the cops just use a cb radio which any one can pick up or does it require a special one or do they also run digital and can that be picked up.

Im not real dodgy :) jst have to even the odds, ive only been done a couple of times, late at night 73 in a 60 zone, pure revenue colecting, very very hard not to think f**k the cops, if there turn up on my door step asking for help i know were id be telling them to get!!!

you're asking all these questions about extreme mods to avoid getting caught...not real dodgy...right :rolleyes:

how about just driving at the speed limit, you won't have a problem then :)

i do agree the coppers have too much power

if you want to even the odds, you'd be better off installing a camera in your car and collecting footage of coppers showing bad driving practices.

red 09 turbo liberty DARK tint with all the gear on the dash NO visible antennas - lights tucked in the front grill . hard to spot unless you see i

spotted on the ICB today about 12pm

go easy Jason... they pick on all makes and models...

your right i went to far

please let me apologize to the terrorists mentioned in my rant "salaam?"

i just wish that i imagined cops doing illegal u turns in peak hour traffic over a traffic island to get to me on no less than several occasions

I got pulled over 15 times in one week when I use to live in mackay.

Iv been living in on the Gold Coast for 6 months now and havent been pulled over once! except for RBT set up on the side of the road but thats an exception.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
