Cops are watching the likes of Donedeal etc etc and have a fair idea of whats going on, stupid ads like sti down as 1.6 easy insure, 1.4 civic with k20 running gear etc etc.
They have pulled civics in my locality and went straight for the spot on Block where it will say B16 or B18C etc etc and have taken cars over it, if you file it down it will look dodgy and be taken anyway.. best way around the civics is to rebuild your b16 wit b18 internals..
I think its the Hondas that are attracting the most of attention and certain age groups.
Im after having scoobies, evos, supras, and now have a 2003 m3 and i never get any hassle, only time i was getting a bit of attention when i was around 22 and had a scooby, but since ive clocked up a few years, thank god i dont get any hassle, but then again i am not in there faces every night driving around town or parked up with some other cars.
The cops will take note of a car that they see a good bit around.
If i had mods done, i definitly wouldnt be parked up or doing laps of a town.. easy target then
