New additions to Vic Pol

by **Phoenix** » October 28th, 2008, 11:20 am

Just a bit of a heads up guys, apparently there are a few new additions to the local cops.

there's a VE SS or the like with 'hoon spec'. Lowered, big rims, etc etc. over 100k worth. This is a car that puts out alot of power apparently, thus, only a few (approx a dozen) are allowed to drive it.

Secondly there's 2 rx7's about to hit the road.
again, worked like crazy, only about 2 doz. allowed to drive this one.

all in an attempt to catch hoon drivers.

someone is in the process of getting me the plates and i'll post them up once i have them. Just as a heads up for anyone considering a drag...you may want to double check the outfit that is being worn by the driver if you can see through the dark as feck tint!

Apparently they have EVO X's now too. Good luck outrunning.

What is the point of cops spending big money on mods when they don't chase anyone that runs in fear of public/3aw outcry??

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read the first post.

They can do the same job in an XT than a modified performance cars!!

How would they LEGALLY get heaps of power out of a VE?

by **Steady** » October 28th, 2008, 11:55 am

I have it on good authority they are getting a 35 GTR, they are gonna use it for PR and just own kunts on the princes.

by **burnt turtle** » October 28th, 2008, 12:23 pm

i think they just wana "fit in" so they can fool you into racing them then they'll book ya, y else would they do it?

by **Kaddis** » October 28th, 2008, 12:24 pm

No shit.

by **t1MMy** » October 28th, 2008, 12:31 pm

IIRC, the police are presented with a bunch of different cars to try out and to see if they like them.

Its like a testing period they go through instead of using the same of Falcons or Commodores.

They tried the STI WRX for a short while but they kept on blowing up the gearboxs.

by **XRated** » October 28th, 2008, 2:19 pm

EVO X. That looks niiiiccce in VicPol livery.

I love the fact that the cops have resorted to driving illegal cars to catch people driving...illegal cars.

Like, is that not FUCKING STUPID or what?

by **CaRtZ** » October 28th, 2008, 8:06 pm

how else are they ment to catch us?

How are the cars illegal?

by **67rce** » October 28th, 2008, 8:18 pm

Tint too dark, too low, wheels too big on some, modified silencing system (technically illegal), guages/accessories mounted above the highest point of the dash (interfering with drivers vision) etc

by **Rollin** » October 28th, 2008, 8:37 pm

I'd like to see ANY modified VE/FG that still meets all the emissions requirements the factory had to.

Pretty much anything post air filter/pre post-cat 02 sensor (if that makes sense) is going to feck up the program.

I reckon I could pick a few more things that would be illegal if you gave me 5 mins with the car.

by **Malakai** » October 28th, 2008, 9:22 pm

I'd have a crack...

by **Frost** » October 28th, 2008, 9:34 pm

NSWs have normal lancers as "general duty" cars.

Then again NSW run LPG on alot of there police cars to cut down on costs. And pull people over in Targos and Carnivals.

Up in wodonga, they had a Turbo Terry, then a Golf GTI, then a Forrester, last I seen they were back to a terry.

Nothing surprises me with vicpol. Wait till spring nats we will see em all then

by **Malakai** » October 28th, 2008, 9:48 pm

Revengelane (Matt) , BI6TIM and I saw a VW Transporter (I think it was) pulling kents over during indy weekend at the Gold Coast last weekend. Just another courier van driving along then BAM! lit up like a blue and red light disco. Pulling some poor P plater over.

Suckers that's why we left our cars at home that night and took Matt's wife's Camry... sneaky feckers!

by **nommic** » October 28th, 2008, 10:09 pm

One of the first VE SS's I saw on the road was an unmarked cop car. Went past my work with the lights on pulling over a p-plater in a riced magna

Saw that SS around heaps over the next few weeks.

That was a gay non-exciting unmarked cop car story... sorry

by **Gozza** » October 28th, 2008, 11:23 pm

i saw a cop pull over someone on the M1 in brisbane in a stock heritage green el/ef...spun me out hard

A custom plenum hey?
Like switched back to a BA/BF style BBM lower with an aftermarket upper, a nitto/CRD plenum, or did the police drop this car off at *insert name of victorian performance workshop here* and get the boys to hook them up with a fully custom plenum?

by **BROCKYB8** » October 29th, 2008, 9:30 am

YEAH i believe that it looks like it was a place over in the eastern suburbs . Dont know much about it actually. only seen it once .

by **t1MMy** » October 29th, 2008, 11:38 am

Sounds like its a coppas personal get around rather than a Vic police car.

Yup sounds right, Christine Nixon gave APS 2x FG XR6T's and a FG Typhoon and told them to make em runs 11's no matter what the cost, the 300kw would have been the run in tune. In the next few months they're getting built bottom ends/trans and they'll go for 9's to catch all the mega quick cars on princes.

by **BROCKYB8** » October 29th, 2008, 11:48 am

You sure they aint his lease cars?

The only police cars Iv ever herd being "modified' power wise are the operation dragright/safe cars.

Yea exactly. People always crap on about how the cops have this and that. Fkn rarely do they produce any kind of evidence.

Rampant unfounded rumours ftl.

by **BROCKYB8** » October 29th, 2008, 2:01 pm

Mate these are not lease cars.

well the others dotn believe were modified

just this one i think

Mate the power on most cop cars have been modified since early 80's when they had clordia turbos running 16psi

This is the first time ive seen this modification of a plenom . Usually most there work is computers

SOME cop cars, not most.

Mainly because the turnover of police cars are huge, they dont keep them long at all.

I didn't know RogerCordia was a cop

by **Kaddis** » October 29th, 2008, 2:17 pm

Cordia running 16psi still wouldn't go anywhere, stock is 9psi and its still not much power.

by **Sunboost** » October 29th, 2008, 2:47 pm

When I got my EA CFI off my Mum back in '04 I suspected it went a lot harder than Gill's Dad's CFI. Now it's all confirmed I why! Wallah bro cop chip in the opt20.

by **Kaddis** » October 29th, 2008, 3:14 pm

Haha, i had an AU II OPT20 Ute and it was slower than my work AU II Ute
