I was at Chaddy about an hour ago and noticed a few guys walking around the carpark in what appeared to be police unifroms and fluro yellow vests. On closer inspection, they were Sheriffs.

Then I saw a white Camry with UHF antennae on the boot followed by 2 identical cars. The lead car had a camera mounted above the rear door. Had a chat to one of them and it turns out they drive through the carparks slowly and the camera reads number plates, flagging anyone with outstanding fines. They found one next to my car and clamped it. They put massive stickers on the cars windows.

On the other side of the carpark was what looked like a booze bus. They must have been 20 of these white Camrys parked around it.

I guess it's not suprising considering the millions of dollars of outstanding fines. Shopping centres hold a high density of cars and the owners aren't around whilst the clamps are atttached.

Not a bad idea, coz suddenly the tables are turned and now the wanted have to chase up the Sheriffs.

"It is a serious offence to tamper with or remove a wheel clamp that has been fitted to a vehicle. The maximum penalty for a first offence is in excess of $6,805* or six months imprisonment."

Also read somewhere a while back that Sheriffs have been advised to take pictures of the cars location when they've put the wheel clamp on to avoid people removing them and denying that the clamp was ever fitted.

Just spoke to a mate who is part of the operation at the moment. He drives one of those camry's daily but it doesnt have the camera in it.

But they all carry wheel locks. I must say though some of the stories he has told me and the scum he deals with I don't blame them for doing things like this.

He has this huge folder of names, listed in priority and he just works through them...

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D 
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
