GTA meet coming soon?

Ire

after installing my springs I vowed never to let laziness affect my choice for parts. I'm def going CAI over short ram w/ heat shield

also I dunno how normal $300 is for a ticket. we were stuck in the middle of the light when it turned on me so I had no choice but to move forward. the bus was stuck halfway in the intersection and I was driving my grandma home so I was distracted by blathering. funny thing is once I got pulled over she got out and walked home (it was less than a block from her place)

The difference on the power gain claimed from both brands are less than 4hp, I doubt there's any actual difference on both during actual driving...

I just don't like taking the bumper off when I have to clean the filter, and the short ram just working fine sound&performance wise, so I am happy with the short-ram.

But of course it is really a personal preference...

Regarding the red-light ticket, are you sure you were at the middle of the intersection during the light change??? If so, they can't give you a ticket because of that...

GaleForce

It's kinda funny that you got by your Grandma. I would get her to pay for half of your ticket.

Still really sucks about getting a ticket for that though.

Yeah, I guess 4hp doesn't mean much when you drive a Prius.

damn dude sorry to hear about the ticket.

did you get demerit points from it? what is it.. like 3 for a red light? not sure if running and rolling through one is the same thing though.

if so, for sure you gotta ex-copper and get rid of that crap. it'll cost you like double the $300 prolly, but the hit to your insurance will be worse

yo mitko can i grab the footage of our run back to tdot from the cruise? i can meet you somewhere and throw you a USB or you can be awesome and upload it somewhere
i wanna edit all our footage together (blocking out license plates just in case hehe) so raw footage is preferable

MrSir

umm i would upload it except its 1.2GB file. you dont have to worry about the licence plates we were driving away form the sunset for the most part so all you see is white reflections off the license plates. I can convert it to some reduced quality file and upload it to youtube if you want to watch it? its nothing special really. my GO PRo doesn't get a great view plus theres alot of traffic so you berelly see the Zs, its usually just ben driving ahead of me, and the occasional white convertible in the lane next to me

So enlighten me. Why do people worry about license plates? I see so many people who blank them out in pictures and I never really understood why. The only reason I could even remotely contemplate is that people will "run" your plate and find out where you live. But unless you work for the Ministry, or you're a Cop, how the heck could you ever do that?

Ire, seems like your z has been causing you a lot of emotional termoil these days :S

Galeforce, I'm interested in the berk hfc's if ire is passing this one up

GaleForce

Sounds good. I'll be pulling them off the car at the end of October. I only drive the car once a week, if that. So they won't see too much more use. I'll take pics of them once they're off.

its mostly for reporting reasons. Someone can see the image/video the person posted and if its say you doing stuff not exactly in the limits of the law, they can report you, in which case you can either get a letter from the ministry which is just a slap on the hand or you can actually get a ticket for it. I've read cases where some kid was boosting about how he was doing 120km/h in a 40km/h residential area on some forum, and just based on that and no other evidence he got his licence suspended and had to pay a substantial fine.

So to really answer your question ppl cover them up for safety reasons not cuz you are doing something bad in the image/video you are posting but just so that tards dont get the opportunity to create head aches for you. Me personally i really dont care so i just post my pictures with my license plate uncovered.
