This happened twice tonight, I'm going 55 in a 60 zone (to conserve fuel) and in both cases, a cop in front of me slows down to around 40, even when he has other cars behind him. Once he realised that my car is completely stock they turn off into some random side street, probably pissed off that he won't meet his quota tonight :wub:

i think you will find the police drive slow everywhere, unless there is a reason to be somewhere.

Thing is though, he was probably going 55-60 as well before he spotted me, and as soon as I slowed down to around 45, he slowed to around 40.

Meh, you want practical... buy a Hyundai Excel lol

cmon theres a difference between practical and pussy

like people running low low suspensions that cant even handle twisties because "oh it makes my wheels rub on the guards"

maybe think of running your car half a bees dick higher and it'll be able to >do what the car was designed to do<

autosalon spec suspension = fail. twisties + cruise/daily spec suspension = win. especially in south australia, where roads are designed by orks.

Impractical as buggery. Fine on jap roads but here you'll be rubbing more than oprah's thighs in a marathon

Edit: +1 for Dohmars' second post.

discovered 3 things in the last 48hrs

1. Vics are very courteous drivers on their highways / freeways (ie if you're coming off an entry ramp, they change lanes so u can get in)

2. Amber lights dont stay amber long at all (barely a second)..........so no more "plenty of green in that" calls over there

3. i need an intercooler on the patrol BADLY

win, wonder if its static or bagged. extra points of its static dropped.

as for the practicality thing... meh, im running pretty low with a reasonably aggressive (*waits for jarrad*) wheel and tyre combo, and the only place ive ever had trouble with rubbing on the guards (im not counting liners, theyre retarded) has been turn 1 at mallala, over 100km/h and tipping into a long right without brakes puts a lot of weight into the front left corner, solution, bought it into the sheds, hammered the tabs on the guards down, went back out and it wasnt as much of a problem. skinnier tyre would fix it completely.

... could use some rca's though, then itd be spot on.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
