Well, I caught my supra on fire.

So while were talking about running from the cops....
One of my best friends drove a modded wrx in high school and did some stupid shit. He was cruising at 125 mph to hockey practice along this half-ass freeway where the limit is 55.
So cop sees him and immediately gives chase. My friend guns it and gets some distance on the cop, takes a right turn and dodges into some neighborhood. He drove through two yards (neither had fences) to get a block further into the neighborhoods. Now he sat and waited for about 15 minutes.
Went to hockey practice, no biggie. Well his car was lowered with gold wheels and extremely low profile tires, so he's just a little noticable.:nono: The cop that chased him watched him go by so he saw the car and its wheels and the black carbon fiber hood on an otherwise all white wrx.
So.... a week later he was going to practice again and guess what? Yup, same cop saw him and threw on his lights. My friend pulls over not thinking anything of it, cuz he wasn't speeding or anything. The cop calmly walks to his door, leans in and says very casually.... "So you out ran me last week, didn't ya?" After a long pause he then says "Get the hell out and put your hands on the hood of your vehicle."
He got arrested and he spent the night in jail. He admitted to running the week before(BIG, BIG mistake) and here's what he got... a speeding ticket (125 in a 55), Wreckless driving and Evading an officer. He was 18, so not a minor. He lost his liscence for 6 months and got it back as a "red" liscence for a year following that. Now he has his liscence and drives a beat up 95 saturn and pays over 300/month for basic liabilty every month. He doesn't have any points to play with on his liscence so a 5mph over ticket will cause his liscence to be revoked for at least a year.
My point.... lay low, put the stock colored hood back on, change your wheels and change your driving route.:biglaugh:
**Kinda funny, but he is now the most cautious driver i know. NEVER speeds, normally is 5 under the limit and always makes complete 3 second stops at stop signs..... the list goes on and on. He's been scared extremely straight.

tecnacly he shouldnt have let the cop put him in jail no pic proof, and he shouldnt have addmited to it.

Ya, that was an extremely dumb move. I guess they kept telling him they knew it was him and that they could prove it. So they said they'd help him out if he just plead guilty. He was really nervous, intimidated, confused and trying to grasp the shit load of trouble he was in. But they dont need picture proof. If a cop pulls you over for running a stop sign, the only thing that counts is that the cop saw you do it.
My friend was an idiot for admitting he was the kid that ran, but a bigger idiot for speeding and running in the first place. I think he deserved all the trouble he got into. He earned every point that was taken from his liscence. And he's a much better driver now because of it.
If I had the stock colored hood it'd be back on.. I'm just going to flat black in, and take my mk4 wheels off. I'll throw some sawblades back on it for a bit.
Cop didn't see much, it was ten pm and overcast at that.

yah but only if the cop catches you when it happens or shortly there after because there is no way to prove it was the same car unless he got the LP#
but he didnt because the cops didnt go to his house.

Ya, i know. My friend knows it was dumb and really regrets it.
But it really was him and the cop knew it right away. I'm glad my friend got caught and learned his lesson. He drove like a fucking maniac and had it comin.
/Hijack, sorry gixxer.

oh doh sorry for the hi-jack man im turing in to a internet terrioris with all the thread hi-jacks iv been doing latley
I honestly dont know whats better, running from the cops with your motor about to blow. Or later admitting to it in full detail on a public forum.
Good for you guys though, I love watching car chases on tv.

High EGT's are signs that timing is being pulled. You said your a/f ratio looked good... what was it numericaly? And how high did those EGTs go?
If your going to run from the cops, that's the way to do it. The speed you hit was a little excessive though.

Cops are FTL...
I'm not sure if it made it to the news over there, but some dick ran from the cops a few weeks back here in Aus, and then bragged about it on a forum... Cops are on the forums, read what he said and busted his ass...
