When that happens ill just take it off the road.

Hey mate i actually have that set still.. I powdercoated them black to match but now they dont fit :(

Hey Charlie, send them back to me I will re-machine the critical sizes and send them back. You won't see the machining as it is all hidden but the black cap will stick out and look flush. Fountainline 3 Production Ave kogarah 2217

Who are those clowns driving!

I think it was inevitable that your car would come under police scrutiny.

It would almost be insulting if this car wasn't pulled over.

Never a dull moment in this thread - keep it up :)

Update:

Hey guys. So after the big trip to sydney theres been some maintenance to do :P First port of call was the manifold. We decided to make a new collector and get it done properly so it doesn't break. Also fabbed up some braces to give support to the collector part of the manifold so hopefully nothing like that happens again :)

Image
Manifold bolted up w//braces :)

Image
New collector :)

Image
All off again to get ceramic coated :)

Other things on the list was the centre console which i had to break to get to my window switch to see what happened, oil change and filter and fix a couple of cracks in the exhaust when the exhaust bottomed out :(

That all will be done this week so it shouldnt be long till i have my car back on the road.

Got the Garage Star rear tow hook in the mail yesterday as well. As soon as i opened it i knew it was quality. Beefy as hell and was gonna look good. Went and fitted it up and couldnt be happier.. With the bumper cut i thought it might sit low but im really happy with the height. Its strong enough to jack up from and looks cool :P

Once again an awesome product from Ken @ Garage Star. Could not be happier.

You have got a great attitude as some people would be totally peeved about the police attention.
That collector and bracing looks good.
I reckon if you left your big wing off your police worries would go away.

I really think the number plate is just as bad. Having personalized plates was probs a bad idea haha :P might sell them soon.

Having any personal plates thats got something to do with the cars character is a bad idea, especially if the cars been modified to the extent like yours.

Maybe you can trick the cops by putting something like GRANNY LOLOLOL ... jokes
