Got pulled over by the 5.0 today....

[joebowlr21]

This happened last night.....Ok so i'm at a stop light and it turns green, i'm cruising at about 20 in first gear when i see this cop pull up to the side of me, i'm not really to worried since I kno i haven't done anything wrong.At about 25 i shift into second and start to pull away from the cop (speed limit on this street is 50, so i'm not worried). At about 35 i shift to 3rd, and just cruise at this speed.Out of nowhere, this cop blast his sirens an turns on his speaker "you in the black car, pull over!"

So I pull over and i'm trying to figure out what the hell I was pulled over for, well the cops come up to me and i say "what seems to be the problem officer?" He tells me "I heard you're car making a loud whistling noise when u shifted, and i know cars don't do that." right now i'm pretty pissed cuz this cop is a total idiot and is wasting my time, i yell at him saying that it's my Blow-Off valve, he tells me to pop the hood.I get out of the car and he's lecturing me on how he's been on the force for 20-some odd years and he's never heard of a BV making that kinda noise.I'm just stupified by this man saying that.He tells me to walk over to where he is and tell him what kind of modifications i've done to my car. I tell him well I swapped my KA for an Sr20det and i've added a K&N fuel injection kit, Blitz Super Sequential BV, 3-inch down pipe, front mount intercooler, and a HKS Hiper Cat-back system.I know this cop is a total idiot, not for the reason he pulled me over, but for the reason that when i was telling him my mods he tried looking for them.

He asks me, "Where is this BV that you said makes the noise?" i point right at it and he tells me that is not a BV, needless to say i'm really pissed of right now cuz i'm supposed to be at my girls house having dinner with her family.I just finaly say to him, ok give me a ticket for wutever reason, i'll fight you in court, win, and make you look like an asshole for not knowing what you are doing.He looks at me and tells me this is just a warning, next time i'll be in trouble.
So i jump back in my car an take off, i think he tried following me again but i took a few back roads that are like a drifters dream(3 short S-curves followed by 2 180 degree turns)
I guess he just tried to see where i was going cuz he didn't put his siren on again but after the 1st 180 turn, i took off and lost him.


That just goes to show you how much certain cops don't know about cars today.Man I am so pissed!

That sucks man! Fuckin cops always piss me off. i got pulled over the other day too; 31 in a 20.....what the hell is that shit. I got a "verbal warning". Yea verbal my ass. They just have nothin better to do.
Do you guys get a lot of that over there in Cali? i ask becuase I will be moving to LBC to finsh up school next year.

Nope No warnings here. Only tickets




P.S. - If you are not gay, then consider doing something to your Miata to clarify that fact. In Long Beach, Miatas are driven by gays. (Sorry to offend anyone reading... I'm not "open minded" at all)

Man ur in for a good flame.....fukkin ignorant people.....and I wouldn't be talking Mr. Delorean, wut are those like 120 hp that wiegh as much as a bus.......i hate people like you...Just because you can't afford one....shame!

[fearless_simian]

bowlr cool off man. Why did you go and say that? deloreans are a classic signature car. they have great lines. It is true that they aren't all that powerful, but no they aren't all that much heavier. And why would you care if someone drove eighty on the freeway. law of the road is that you go at what traffic is going at. and around here eighty is common fair. and if you need to get somewhere wuickly then why should anyone care if your car is worse and passes

I wasn't talking about your car, joebowlr21, so I can't figure out why you're so pissed.

I was talking to NB8CT, who has the MIATA. Maybe Lancaster has different "rules", but down here in Long Beach real men don't drive Miatas. I was giving him a warning that his manhood will be questioned unless he takes action.

But hey, thanks for making fun of yourself! I mean, you are flaming "ignorant people", then you say a DMC weighs as much as a bus. I guess you're flaming yourself!!! The car weighs +-2600 pounds, bro. That is almost 200 pounds lighter than your 240!!! Holy fuck. Talk about ignorant.

NB8CT, just to show that I'm not attacking Miatas... this Miata is very manly & I would drive it:

Hmmmmmm...dont know how to respond to this other than posting pics of my car. I think most would agree that it looks like a "man's car".....
not only that, it would beat the shit outta your delorean (unless its got that newfangled flux capacitor, then I'm done)

Yeah this is a good answer , here in europe little roadsters are girl's cars , but after all i don't think i'll expect a woman if i have seen this car on the road...

Hahaha Yeah that Flux capacitor kicks ass! Once i hit 88, I just go back in time to when the race started & I'm at the finish line! I win every time!
:smoka:

Anyway, your pics look fine. Here's a questionable ride:

Now, back to our thread's topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

joebowlr21, did you have any exterior mods that would tip him off, or did he just "claim" to hear the noise? I ask because it seems the cops down here like to hassle people with graphics (like my car).

three cheers for stickers!

[joebowlr21]

ok....i'm sorry for my reply to you....i was a little mad at the time and it got the best of me....

But to answer ur question, no i don't have any exterior mods.Only exterior mods i'm looking into are the Circular 180SX lights and then an S-13 front.But about those stickers, they can give you tickets for those.Stickers are not supposed to be on top of the window or any where else except for a small portion of a bottom corner that doesn't go across the whole windsheild.I found that out when my bro was pulled over for his Car Club Decal on his front window, he took it to court an lost.

It was sad, cuz he fought, they wanted to check out the rest of his car, his car hasn't passed smog legally in over a year.He swapped in a J-Spec 01 prelude motor and fitted it with a XS custom turbo setup....mother F#$@er can run a 9.21@149 on slicks and his car is a daily driver.I think he's running something around 16lbs of boost.All this out of an 88 4WS prelude.

That sucks about about your bro. Now I'm definitely going "stealth" & getting rid of obnoxious graphics... just more reasons for them to hassle me.

I'm surprised the cop pulled you over if nothing "looked suspicious". That guy must have barely passed his boot camp. He was probably just jealous that you can outrun his cruiser!
