Mate your tx5 is slammed on its ass, has a dose pipe and the front bar hacked up so the coolers visible. No shit cops are going to hound you!

Sook all you want you know the rules and you choose to not obey them. Yes Coppers can and do go a little far.. but it is their job, thank your lucky stars that most of them don't know what they are looking at because if I was a HWY Patrol Officer you would get a defect list a mile long. Bald tyres, tow truck home. You own a VN V6 with an exhaust, tow truck to the tip. I would be a ****. I dunno how many times I've seen it, turn up at a car cruise and idiots have cars with tyres with the wire hanging out, exhaust dropped, lights not working and then call cops dogs for giving them a canary.. I don't car how sick you think your car is, it shouldn't be on the road. I would be keen on rules like, you want a loud car, OK but you can only drive it between the hours of 7am and 10pm. Caught outside those time, tow truck to the impound. The only way we are going to get some kind of freedom with modified cars is if we give an inch and remove the annoyance to regular voters. As for your TX5.. Coilovers.. you had a choice to put them on? Couldn't get stock ones? Turbo is old so it needs more air.. Why don't you go and talk to an engineer and see if those items can be ticked off as legal. You need to stop and have a real hard look at yourself. Societies attitudes are not going to change any time soon, so us as a minority group need to change to better fit in with society.

Take my TX5..okay maybe it's not the best choice but - I have coilovers because my original shocks were a hazard and I have a front mount because the turbo is old and it needs more air, not to be a dosing douche (edit: I don't mind a good dose). Stupid thing is, my TX5 would get d/cked in a second and the car that gets driven once a week is a stock standard complying VL lol... ITS A SHAMBLE OF A LIFESTYLE but I won't change, nor will any other enthusiasts. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This man speaks the truth, I read the TX5 comment, coilovers, intercooler because turbo is old etc. Front bar hacked up, and I just had a chuckle to myself.

do you guys reckon one of the first things that get a cops attention is the height and wheels. i hope when my vl is done it dosnt get looked at to much . fe2 height and 15x7 slver ceptors. only problem is its yellow lol

If I was a cop. What would attract my attention would be Height, Wheels, Tint, Exhaust noise, If the car had been butchered to fit intercoolers etc, and of course driving behaviour. Somebody patiently cruising through traffic as opposed to somebody weaving in and out

yer true im 30 this yr so my days of driving like a knob are very much over. i just like cruising and enjoying the car.maybe every now and then giving it a squirt

its obviously the hair cut of the driver that dictates whether things go smoothly or not. and that old turbo shyt made me lol. jesus christ

all the things that go down on the hwy friday nights doesnt help either and add fuel to the fire, especially with all these young idiots that just hang out a the servos with there heap of F**KS , and then make it known there heros when they leave

They were out in numbers tonight

true. i wonder if that venue is still going head out pakenham way

be good if rodney jane just got hes **** together and got calder park up and going again , any one know where that joint is at this moment or whats happening in the near future?

Could be true or bulls**t but from near the end of the year to start of next year calder will be up and running like the old days, as in will be used and known as the states main dragstrip. The government or council who evers in charge of money will be chipping in to get it up and running again. One of the guys i heard the info from is part of a commitie or similialar with calder been involved with em for like 20 years or so. But like i said could be full ass dribble.

If i was cop most likely to get my attention would be noise and height.
