I have to hand it to the chief, he was actually right. Mindset has lots to do with it and he even said it, he likes modding cars/likes cars, but keep it on the track.

Damn shame about the woman and her baby though. Putting innocent people at risk FTL.

Ive been pulled over 4 times in the last year and half or so and all four times Ive been asked about modifications etc. And I wasn't speeding/driving like a moron... All 4 times ive been let off.

 

I hear you man! every thing in San Diego seams like it was designed to test out the articulation of your car's chassis. i go to Mira mar community college and there is a speed bump in the main parking lot that is at least 6 inches high its like the people who design that crap are from Sante.

but its bad in the back country me and my dad went out back side of Bonita, canyon bombing and my car bottomed out 3 times on what we call in San Diego flat roads.. lol

but LA Freeways are far worse, the 57 71 and the 210 are death traps driving up to Azusa Pacific is like running a Freaking Gantlet!

but the Cops are so bad here, Chula Vista isn't the worst, its Poway and East Lake, They have those stupid Sheriffs... I have been pulled over 5 times in the last there months, its time to get a radar detector and a good lawyer...

 

^^^ Yep....worst time: 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm

Cops who hate modified cars the most here in SD (From what I've noticed) ?

Poway cops
Escondido
College campuses
Motorcycle cops
Irvine cops...ah not SD but I swear they'll come down here to get you.

 

It seams like to me that the worst time between is 4-5 like right before they get off work, trying to make that quota... lol

I agree with you on the Poway Sheriff. I live and work in Poway and don't dare to mess around even though my G looks fairly stock.

 

No kidding, aside from the nice suburbs deeper in, It's like another state over there. I live literally 5 minutes from Poway but once I cross the 15 freeway it's like *woo woo wooooop* "Yeehaawww where ya goin import?!"

 

could you cali dudes keep your silly laws and police tactics to yourself, I am seeing **** rolling up hill to WA and I am not liking it. : )

 

so how hard are they on people w/ turbos now-a-days? any personal experiences?

 

They are cracking down on the 240sx for sure. Popping hoods looking for swaps and turbos. A guy got rolled for "not having his headlights on" at 5pm last week, sun doesn't even go down til 7 now. Lame. I've been rolling a hks hi-power on mine with a silencer. I think I'll put the stock exhaust back on. It'll just be a pain to change out for track events.

I think i'll start driving my G more.

Yea, poway sucks. They hassle my sister in-law in her stock Murano. Add Mira Mesa to the list too.

Saw a highway patrol Dodge Charger on 805 the other day and a lot more people pulled over lately.

 

well they need to pay for that shiny new dodge! lol

 

Josh, you is gangsta.....won't matter which car you drive

 

The other day I saw a custom orange M5 (newer one) running what sounded like straight pipes. It was a like a squadron of fighter jets coming down the street. I don't know how guys like that get away with it.

I've noticed the factory performance car/ sportscars with mods have a better chance on the streets of San diego than your typical commuter modded-turned "fast car".(Cops are more likely to score more citations so they target them.)

I remember when EVO's and STI's were getting pulled over left and right because traffic LEO's thought they were heavily modified econo-sedans...but I think they caught on to the fact that these things come performance oriented.

 

I saw that M5 yesterday on Mira Mesa blvd. Not a subtle car at all. He passed 3 SDPD tending to an accident at the Westview intersection. I had to laugh.

I heard a titanium exhaust M5 in a tunnel a while back. Badass, super mean.

 

Yeah that's him. First time I saw him, he was flying down Black Mtn. towards Mira Mesa. He's probably from PQ or Del Sur/ Santa Luz area.

 

That's the alarm, pal

 

nah that douchebag lives near me in scripps. i was driving up the hill from mira mesa and ****er cut me off with little room. i wasn't trying to race or anything, i just got a speeding ticket from the ******* cop that hides in scripps ranch for going 50 in a 45 plus got hit for front license plate and my car was loud lol? nismo exhaust really that loud in 5th gear going 50mph with cruise control?

 

They're looking for any excuse to give you a ticket. Do you have to go the state ref to test it or can you just throw on the stock exhaust and get it signed off at the station?

 

This blows i just bought Twin Turbo 350....... Well i need to find a grill asap to cover up the stupid front mount. Does it matter if you have all the papers proving you passed smog?

 

I think ur best bet is to have the intercooler powdercoated/thermal coated black and then pray u dont' get a ref ticket. Congrats on the new car

 

A little update..my friend got pulled over in eastlake a few days ago....he drives a WRX...doesn't look flashy....just dropped and an exhaust. The cop asked him to pop his hood and ref'd him for his BOV. He also said the cop was looking at his front grill to see if he had an intercooler.
