rexy's with rally art?????????????????

exactly what i was thinking....

Rallyart = Mitsubishi....

Wouldnt Subaru be STI?

Cos if its a WRX with Rallyart well we now know its a copper or an idiot who thinks stickers make your car go faster. LOL

Btw do coppers change the plates on these cars? Cos if they dont maybe should get a register going. :P

i like this idea i like

the smart car runs around in the city, at the bus terminal. Its aimed at getting closer to the community.

Please people with out me sounding like a newb, please tell me the obvious signs of an "unmarked" police car. I know the fords are base models, with steel wheels. Apart from that how do u tell a unmarked

Please dont flame me lol

i guess thats the whole point... you dont know... the only other thing that makes them stick out is the massive strobe light thing on the dash... if you see a car with something big and square on the dash chances are its a cop... the other thing that has saved my ***** is the unmarked cops often have a few more aerials sticking out that they use for all their equipment. i was driving down the M4 one time and i was behind a green commodore for a while. i thought to myself "no i wont overtake cos it looks shifty with all the antennas". lucky i didnt because they pulled into the servo and as i went passed the occupants were cops...

yeah thats true all the aerials give them away!

Not necessarily. Some are totally normal, sinlge antenna and all.

I've seen 4WDs, Camrys, Magnas, WRXs, Bikes (Yamaha R1 - undercover).. all these were unmarked, and officers looked off duty.

I have a monster tacho, I get more mid-range with that don't I?

Don't know about mid-range, but you'll definitely get plenty of high-range stupidity! :lol:

ive never been sure about off-duty police... surely they can pull you over if they are off-duty... simply because they are police officers and their job is to uphold the law etc, so if they catch someone breaking the law their duty is to stop it.

i know if i was a cop and i was off duty, i wouldnt bother pulling someone over.. but im quite lazy..

I got pulled over by an off-duty cop in a Magna a few years ago, he was on his way home from work. He just felt that he needed to tell me to pull my head in first <_<

There used to be a couple of unmarked Pathfinders running around the Wollongong area, as well as a plain white BA ute with mags :blink: And an XR8 with the WORST attempt at silver GT-style stripes that I've ever seen, but you can pick that one out with the dashboard disco lights and proliferation of anttenae :rolleyes:

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt
