fucking police....fuckers..fucking mcfucks...so im on my home from work 2nite...i pull into my street..and all of a sudden ive got an unmarked car pulling me over...they both get out...go over my car with torches..tyres..under the car...thru the windows..under the hood...ect..then they start with the questions..."is this ur car" "how long have u had it" "where did u get it" "how long have u lived here" this went on for about 10 minutes or so....then one of them asks "u working 2nite mate?" and i replied...standing there in my eagle boys outfit "nah mate i just like wearing a bright fucking pink polo shirt and office trousers koz im a weird prick" koz ive had enuff of them seeing as how they had pulled me over and failed to tell me what for in 10 minutes and i just wanted to get home (wich was about 4 doors up the road) so one of them writes some stuff down..and says "sir im issuing you this notice to appear at the exhaust volume testing area in the car park behind the queensland roads building, if you fail to appear there within the next 15 minutes you will recieve a $450 fine"...so i drive straight there...right past my house...i get there...its cold...im cold...and tired...and pissed off...and as i go arouund the back of the carpark i notice they have probably every modified jap car in town there lined up waiting for tests....so i wait about a fucking hour before they get around to testing mine...2 of the coppers there were asking me about my car an how i got it and how it must be a nice car an they hadnt seen one before...anyway i finally get onto the test pad they have set up...and the cop starts flicking through his list of cars..and i say to him, "you wont find it in there mate there's only like 5 of them in the country" and he smugly snaps back "we have ALL import vehicles in here as well as domestic delivered vehicles" and i just think to myself...fine..whatever u say....so anyway he flicks throught the book for about 5 minutes trying to find the st165...and then says "i have the 185 and the 205 gtfour but they have the 3sgte" having allready told this guy its a "1987 toyota celica gtfour- st165, 3SGTE" i say again "its the same engine as the 185 mate" so anyway he tests...and tests...and tests....and tests...and tests...on the last test i started to hear alot of knock....
my exhaust note put out 91.7 db...the limit being 90 + a leeway of 1.9 db so i was .2 of a db under a defect..and the prick sat there killing my engine for a good 10 minutes trying to get it to jump that .2 of a db...eventually he says "yeah mate ur fine to go sorry for the delay" and im thinking he only stopped koz he heard the knocking and shat himself...anyway it wasnt knocking on the way home but it had next to no power at all Sad

btw he was testing at 4700 rpm

fucking pricks

Those SOBS!!!!! Man im sorry you had to go through that, There are some asswips for cops here in QLD. I hate them with a passion.

I had a smiliar issue just a month back. Driving on the way home from work, a XR6 pulls up next to me, reving his engine and stuff...had the "Indy..Braceyourself" number plates on his Grey XR6..Was keen to race me. But i did not want to waste my premium unleaded on a fricken ford, so i let the knob go on his own, but he dropped back. 2 mins from my house, there is a empty road i regulary speed on...10 O'clock at night..no traffic, moving along fairly quick.. then i see red and blue flashing lights right up my arse. Just the one cop, by himself, Old guy. First thing he said to me, "finally, i caught you!!"...i was shitting my panse, it was my first speeding ticket...Then he tells me to get out of the car, and i follow him to his car, just happened to be a Grey XR6 with "Indy..braceyouself" number plates..undercover cop car, he tells me to look in, he got me at 96 in a 60 zone. Mad

He askes me for my license, "so your 17, with a car like this..." ..i kindly reply ignoring the fact that dumbasss cant do simple math, and say "no, im 19 sir"....Then he said he wont keep me long, writes and ticket, and i was off...Fucken scum..

on another note toobs you wrote earlier that u have spacers for the rear wheel to bring them out a bit wider so the wheels dont look like theyre sitting in the middle of the body?

i really interested as thats one of the few things i dislike about the wide body gt4s, well mine ne way.

can u gimme an idea on price and where i can get em from also do they need to be engineered and are they difficult to put on??

thanks mate

I have those spacers on mine as well, here are some photos. I bought them from Spectral on these forums, for $235 if i remember correctly..I contacted those guys Toobs mentioned, Never got a reply back to emails i sent. I found some online, in the states, I will try dig up the site, i bookmarked it somewhere.
