WARNING: Very sneeky sneeky undercover cop car...


Recommended Posts

Was having a few brew's tonight at my local and a fight erupted between some locals and some passing by plumbers (I drink at the BURV cos I can roll across the road after work and I don't drive to work on most Friday's)

Anyway, after fight was stoped. Cops arrive and one cop car caught my eye.

I saw two uniformed officers get out of a Navy Blue Mirage. Not any old Mirage, this one had an aftermarket front spoiler, side skirts, 3" exhaust tip plus (this is the killer) it had those neon blue lights on the bonnet for the winsheild washer squirt things. No way I would have picked it as a cop car in a million years.

So next time you see a Mirage... Look twice B4 playing up.

where exactly was this?? damn, those sneaky bastard are getting on my nerves but what bothers me is that they are hypocrites, ive seen cars get pulled over for those lights...

The BURV (good pub... once you get the "feel" for the place) is on the corner of Burwood Hwy and Springvale Rd.

lol... i sometimes pass by the area, if i saw that car i would roll down my window and say "hows it going officer??"... or an even better idea would be to challenge em to a drag (rev your engine) but when the lights hit green just stick to the speed limit and laugh... :(

Beer goggles on... yes. 100% sure it was a Mirage.

Good old Burv. Like I said I work across the road and with all the other multi-national companys (HP - MYOB - Motorola - Cannon - CFA - VIC Roads) you can get a nice spread of office chicks and surburban bunnys + the "ruffnecks" and it all blends in well and creates a great atmosphere for a Friday drink with workmates (even bettter in summer - large beer garden) and there is 6 pool tables. It not a place you would through a birthday party or go to "hang out" on the weekend. It serves it's purpose as a place to wet your whistle after a big week at work.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
