and yes not all cops are douchebags as people think. like stated before some cops look because they like. i got pulled over for having my car too low. Cop asked me more questions about if i scrape here and there and how to i manage to drive my car in alhambra and whatever. didn't even bother to run my license. Continues to talk about his dodge truck that scrapes everywhere. He just wanted info, not to issue a citation. It's all about being in the right place at the right time. |

let me tell you something about my experiences lately..
i get pulled over for modified exhaust while i'm doing 40 in a 40 tackin 1500 rpms and he gets me for tint also. 5 months later (this past friday) I get pulled over while I'm STOPPED at a driveway leaving the gym. This douchebag pulls in from the street and gets right behind me so of course he didn't hear or even see my exhaust..he pulls me for no front plate and after I tell him I juuust paid the fine for the modified exhaust and I'm in the process of changing it he gives me another modified exhaust ticket. I have respect for cops and what they do, but some of these guys are just chicken shit i swear my advice: You are NOT safe simply driving well, I always drive safely as I have never gotten a moving violation and I'm being harassed like a ex-con out here.. have a front plate and have a super stock looking exhaust and you should be good...unless they start pulling us over for having wheels that are too wide or some shit |

I can sympathize with all you'ze guys on here. I moved on to a bmw e30 and cops kinda turn away from em. stock exhaust, lowered.
When I had my 240 it was such a magnet, slammed,kit,exhaust, (ripped off my tint cus i was sick of getting pulled over). It was at a point where cops said 'did you make your car louder?" 'sounds different' me 'haha, I actually just got my second resonator installed on there last week'. Driving the car here in Socal left me with tons of modified exhaust tix, tint, front plate, yadayada. I was mainly in hollywood/santa monica area. I hear mainly people gettin harassed in the Inland Empire. It got mad ridiculous though, even my gf would be ready to get pulled over if we even saw a cop. I drove like the gentleman of oldmansville in town! simply driving anywhere was suspect enough in that car. I still miss the car though =]. Never got my hood popped, cops always asked me dumb questions cop:'you a fan of transformers?' me:'yea' (steering wheel button had a transformer on it). Even got questioned on my tyco Silvia rc car in the back seat! Cop:'is that legal? Gas powered or electric" Me: "Tyco". Cops flashlight tapping on my back windows when questioned about the tint. But usually let go cause I abide by the law, just had a cool car haha. Still very annoying and unsettling. So now, I have a Maxima now and still 'shocked' when cops fly past me. And Id assume the bmw would be suspect cause its low, but I think it still counts as a 'turd' on the streets to cops haha. But parking citations are getting way out of control here. jeez. On a side but still on topic note. I've been looking at getting an exhaust for the bmw cuz I like the raspy lowness of it, and want a single N1 style can, but remember what a hassle it was to have a can on the car. oy, shits weak man.

Oh yes, also got a parking ticket in the mail the other day. I was in my car waiting or my gf to get outta work, in a red zone, but no parking on this busy street, in front of a club. He flashed a light at me, so I waved back. So I backed out andn went to a parking spot, 4 days later, PARKING TICKET in the mail?! Trying to fight it.......no results

Enough with this "im scared to drive my car in the States" bullshit, come up to Canada, pick up a 180, do a 4" straight pipe, screamer pipe and put a "COPS LIE" sticker across your back window and you'll still be able to shoot the shit with a cop at the local coffee shops.
Let me sum up living in Canada for you all: 1) Bikini Bitches in -30 Celsius 2) GTR's go for 7 grand. 3) RHD? Mine as well be a majority population. 4) Catalytic Converters nd Pre-Silencers and all that bullshit? Cop will ask you why you didn't straight pipe it for better flow, then call you a pussy. 5) Pollution Laws? huh? 6) Free health-care. 7) Our dollar isn't showing signs of hyper-inflation, suckers. Cant wait to see you all coming to work the oil patch in Alberta! High school diploma? A week worth of training? Thats all u need to make $350+ a day! |

best way to avoid hood pop
1) STOCK EXHAUST (ugly, no sound) 2) Re-circulated Bov 3) Front License Plate 4) No Illegal Tint 5) No Stickers 6) No A pillar gauge pods 7) Don't drive like a jack ass 8) Murdered Out FMIC Done deal, good luck trying to avoid it. I've been popped before as well. Shit happens.

5 years in Socal, living in San Diego and droving alot in Orange County, I would have to say if you don't bring attention to yourself you'll be ok. Iv'e been pulled over twice both I was a fault and was given a warning. Now now my car was lowered, with tinted windows, no front plate and full N1 exhaust but it's far from Zilvia slammed -camber stickered approved. All in all drive like an adult and dont cause attention to yourself and you'll probably be ok. But if it happpens so be it. You know the rules and are choosing to break them.

Damn DUI checkpoints
Drove my sleeper Hatch with a RB25 in San Diego for over a year with no major problems from the cops when driving responsibly. Only once did I ever get questioned and that was at a DUI checkpoint when the guy saw my turbo timer kick in and keep the car on (did not even think about it). Ended up talking my way out of it.

Don't be a dick when you get pulled over, I broke my hood latch on my corolla so I can't POP it when asked and just show them I can't and they generally just leave me alone and say that my car is at a higher decibal then it should be

dude you're young, asian, and you drive a bright red car but you're right driving safe (which is a good thing lol) will increase your chances of staying under the radar but it goes with the territory of owning an import 'sports' car.
