Default Copped !!

Finally been pulled over after 7 years of Rexing

Green light, got momentum, take the corner at 55, fast,but not dangerous,intending to spa with an Sti two cars ahead, damn it, saw the cop car out of the corner of my eye, oh Fark,too late,maybe they didnt notice?
Radar detector going crazy,turn it off,lights flashing,oh great here we go
Had to open the bonnet, Gulp, thankfully the cops turned out to be reasonable and didnt sticker me, but need a few permits, they noticed,
Cold air and catch can, oh and stealth bov, he didnt say anything about 3' exhaust, gfb pulleys, vf35, avo topmount and link.
If i take it to the pits will i need permits for all the other fruit there and then,? the cop said i was noe in the "system"

Know what you mean but unfortunately they don't see it that way.

Go the STi and keep her stock FTW!
If I had the cash handy i'd do it in a flash....you do get tired of always looking over your shoulder if you see a cop drive past. Just hope the new STi has enough chop to keep one happy so the temptation to mod doesn't rear its money hungry head.

Huh? Yellow stickers cannot be given out by pit inspectors? They can only reissue yellow stickers, however unsure about having different engine numbers. May get a little inspector cluso with that.

You hosed it around the corner, it doesnt matter what you were in, chances are they'd of picked you up. If the 35 was under a heatshield they wouldnt tell the difference, nor the TMIC/pullies. And a computer, is it even visabled?
