2000 Vs Ute
last night this happened.
so was in the city for school and saw and heard a whole lot of police officers. including one having someone in a commo having a massive argument with him, so they were pulling people over I guess.
head back to carpark and see a divvy van outside, really thought nothing of it, as though it would just be patrolling the area.
get back to car, its cold, and is not overly loud, but its a carpark so it makes it louder. (also a kind fella told me the police were actually waiting just outside the door)

anyway, let it idle (out of gear) all the way down and see the divvy van backing up as though to block off the exit.
they do keep backing up and line up to enter carpark. *wipes forehead*
put in the ticket and exit the carpark.
officer has his window down just staring at the car.

now for the record, its filthy. and anyone how has seen the car knows, its higher then sabs Cruiser.
so I have no idea what the officers were doing but he did have that "what am I looking at" confused look
they also entered the carpark. so good thing I wasn't 2minutes later *thumbsup*

so I really did nothing other then get a few strange looks from some officers

now your car sucks unfiltered air ? why bother with this stupid mod, just remove the air filter and have the same affect

report back on how many K's it takes when your car starts blowing smoke


They suck air from the bottom of the box, where the 2 hole mod is, then up through the filter and towards the engine from the top of the box.

They are an ok mod, but not as good as a true OTRCAI
