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

looks like turd to boot.

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. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
