Prohibited Vehicles? (1 Viewer)

[h4vok]

Has anyone gotten caught driving one? More importantly, how would they know if your car was prohibited? What do they check?

 

[seremify007]

Not game enough to find out.

But I'd imagine... it's pretty hard unless you attract attention (eg. P Plater with very heavily modified car; or even the sound of a loud turbo).

They are probably familiar with most of the usual culprits. All the Jap rockets - GTRs, GTiRs, etc. But I doubt they'd be able to pick out a Volvo 850R (184kW turbo) from a Volvo 850SE (125kw NA) - the difference being a rear spoiler and subtle front skirt.

It's pot luck, I think.

iv been pulle dover like 5 times im drivin a gtr skyline when i had my blow offs they pick ya up coz ya think ya cool. but ya tone down the whole hoon driving n cops let ya drive nethin plus ud be stupid to pull burns wer losers hang out.. eg panthers (they need a life)

**** my GTR is prohibited n i dnt have an exemption. thou the cops are cool with it..

So the cops are cool with it because of your 'blow offs' ? I think we need more information here.

 

[seremify007]

its got nothin to do with how hotted up ya car is..
there is over 2500 car that are prohibited now.. if ur a dick n drive like one cops will pick on ya but if ya can drive n handle ya car they dnt mind.. iv been pulle dover like 5 times im drivin a gtr skyline when i had my blow offs they pick ya up coz ya think ya cool. but ya tone down the whole hoon driving n cops let ya drive nethin plus ud be stupid to pull burns wer losers hang out.. eg panthers (they need a life)

You just proved the point that by having a hotted up car- you attract attention. Probably the opposite of what one would want to do if they're trying to avoid being pulled over by cops don't you reckon?

I think she also proved how retarded she is.

And finally that girls can get off a fine by giving head.

But yes its all rather obvious if you hoon you will attract attention, atract enough and they'll pop your hood and a police officer will recognise a v8 or a turbo in the bay and you score a fine. They may also fine you for the cone filter.

Hey hey! Guys too... this is the year 2000's

Are V8 landcruisers prohibited vehicles??

 

[h4vok]

yes they should be

What do you reckon of this though -
Holden Commodore S supercharged

the only things seperating that from a normal S is the 'supercharged' badge, the exhaust, the foglights and the supercharger inside

im more worried about random breath test checks rather than getting pulled over for driving like an idiot

Am I missing something?

 

[seremify007]

I'm not too familiar with Holden naming conventions, but isn't S and SS the performance models which are either V8 or supercharged anyway (ie. if you've got the S badge on there, it's a prohibited vehicle?)- or is there an S without the supercharger?

Back on topic though, I'm guessing he's asking if he's likely to get caught with it. A trained ear should be able to detect the supercharger, or an avid Holden fan, (I'm inclined to think cops would fall into the latter category- if any)... but the reality is, you risk copping a fine. It's like drink driving. There's no guarantee you'll get pulled over, and even if you do get pulled over, there's no guarantee you'll get caught- but there's always that chance...

 

[Not-That-Bright]

The supercharger was only an option on S commodores.

 

[transcendent]

blow off as in blow off valves, BOV for the turbo, the sometimes awesome whistle you hear when they change gears. this is why i want a Camry instead of a sports car cause i barely get noticed for a hoon. i really want a new Camry and put in the TRD supercharger with V6 2GR-FE engine. will be one of a kind in Australia if Toyota Australia does release a TRD version of Camry it will most likely be 4 cylinders.

Your a fucking spastic.

 

[Pace_T]

haha the word spastic sounds so funny

 

[bizadfar]

Wow, i just checked that list. amazing the BMW m3 isn't banned (weather it's E36 or E46). The E90 will be (V8)

If anything, they should've made the system like Victoria: Power to weight ratio.

 

[petar13]

Wow, i just checked that list

Could you link me?

 

[bizadfar]

They should merge those lists, or at least rename it to something more specific. Got me a bit excited M3 wasn't in there till i saw your reply

 

[bowman]

i got my licence before these rules came into place, so i can still drive around a turbo car.
i drive my cousins little 1litre turbo charade.
little pocket rocket.
they are setting it up to race with, in club events an motokana's
