just spotted a blue wrx with rally car stickers all over the car (bonnet, doors, boots etc)... on fullers road chatswood, heading up to chatswood toyota... i saw it coming up the hill and thought... hmm... someone's bored with their plain looking wrx???? and upon passing the car, i checked the rearview mirror... and what do i see???? "POLICE" sticker on the boot (the standard blue on white sticker... or is it white on blue... i don't know :wassup: )

just wondering if it really belongs to the local police or is someone being real brave and putting police sticker on their car for jokes?? number plate was the new standard black on yellow (AA11AA format)

only fairfield police has them.. for driver education purposes, they were at drag combat last year spreading their message it was a STI though 2003
The police used to bring a wrx cop car to WSID on wednesdays. Even did some runs to.

Pity they couldn't get it to run quicker than a 15 sec pass :cheers:

I don't think it is an STI, though. It is supposed to be used to encourage people against street racing. Doesn't seem to be working.

Nope. Correcting, not contradicting. As I said earlier, I didn't think it was an STI. No definites there :D Especially since I recall it running 15's - you'd expect an STI to get into the 13's.

A quick search confirmed it.

last wrx police car i saw, he booked me and i lost my license only to receive a letter from the RTA 6 months later saying that we're sorry it was a mistake the radar on the wrx cop car was bodgy. bloody fantastic.

werent the speedos in them defective? or the calibration in them changed over time?....and then the cops hit subaru with a damages suit?

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
