I had the same issue, so I traded up. Idk if you drive standard or manual, but the kid I bought my car from lives on Grand Island, he's in the process of doing an RHD GT-Four swap...can't find his thread at the moment but he appears to be selling it if you can wait. Looks like he imports the things and mods them (tastefully) and then sells them for a profit. He'll usually post it on craigslist. His username is jmeyer on here.

standard and manual is the same

Auto or standard, I meant XD

@Seven1Six: Yup lol. He had a real nice florida 94 up that went a while ago, custom red paint.

yeah, when i see a cop i drive regularly. just cruising by trying not to do anything wrong or give them that impression that i'm doing something wrong. I figure if I can pass by unseen like a regular car it'll be fine. If they see me then they usually get the idea that i'm a young reckless kid driving a sports car. Sometimes I hate being in this age range. hahahaha

i also am tailed often by cops, i think its mainly cause the 6gc is kinda flashy and not something seen so often. I dunno. Anyway if you do nothing wrong there is nothing to fear.

I take that back. "52" in a 35 a few hours ago. I was doing 40.

the celica: it looks fast.

when you say upshift do you mean go from 3-4 or 4-5?

i was thinking like going to a lower gear...which would make it louder...(4-3) now that i write that it seems dumb

Aww, that sucks. Hope you get it cleared up easily.

And yes; that is the Celica's tagline.

Well, I've only owned my car since fall last year, and despite driving on the most cop infested roads in my area twice a week to get to school, I've only been pulled over once. I was being a big time idiot and I was lucky to get away with a stern warning, but I learned my lesson. Just tonight I passed three cops that were "camping" and despite the big WRC wing, TRD skirts and spats, and a big loud BLITZ cat back they didn't take notice.

My bro-in-law however was not so lucky. He has a Mitsubishi EVOII and was driving within reasonable speeds and a cop who did not seem to understand the concept of RHD cars thought that no one was driving, and without noting the fact that my bro-in-law made a lane change complete with blind spot check and signaling while being tailed by said cop. When he got pulled over the cop had already called in another cruiser for backup and the three officers took upwards of half an hour going over his car trying to find something to pin him with. Luckily they did not check his DRLs because I know for a fact he does not have them, and he was let go after the whole ordeal.

I saw a video in some part of Canada where they are confiscating any vehicle that-
"...seems to have been modified for the purpose of drag racing or street racing, or any other type of racing..."
How true is that? Is it something they came up with to deter street racing??

Man this thread is retarded. If cops always 'follow' you then pull over and ask them why. Chance are, it's not your car. There are a lot nicer cars all over, a lot flashier cars all over.
Every person I know who is 'targeted' by the cops, is because they are doing stuff to be targeted. Don't drive like a tool, you won't be followed. And in the rare case they do follow you and you're doing nothing wrong, who cares?! They can't give you a ticket if you aren't doing anything wrong. Just keep driving and let it go.

I used to have one cop car follow me everywhere, but it was one cop who didn't like me in our small town. Each time he followed me, I would turn in to a parking lot or driveway and wait for him to go on before I started to drive again.

so you waste ur time waiting in a parking lot when you really did do nothing wrong then?....

and as i stated before, I don't drive like an idiot, I basically go to school and back going the speed limit, got no exhaust on so i don't sound like a lawnmower passing by.

I change my mind what I said, I got followed about 2-3km by cops yesterday and I didn't realise they were there until I was close to home because I was doing nothing wrong, they pulled me over and tried to get me on speeding although I was just taking corners and accelerating faster than an average driver, It was funny they wasted like 15 minutes of there time.

[1Bryce1]

i get followed by cops the exact same way i pull out of my driveway bam theres another one....literaly all the time

[Jeremie]

I dont know but latley ive been seeing 6gc's getting pulled over...Just this past week 4 spotted......

[95CelicaST]

If a cop is following you and making you nervous, just pull over and let them go by. My friend's mom would do this all the time.

You know how you don't get a ticket? Do the speed limit, use your turn signals, come to complete stops, and don't put 5% tint on your windows. So long as you don't give them a reason then you won't get pulled over. And if you do get pulled over, you know that you weren't doing anything wrong and can contest it in court.


But if you think that all of the police are out to get you and only you, then I recommend mounting a couple cameras in your car- one on the speedometer and one wide angle by the passenger sun visor. Set it up to record to an external hard drive.

I've been driving my GT-Four for over a year now without being pulled up, which is odd seeing as I'm only 20 and the cops here seem to love pulling any young person over in a turbo car.
I'm usually pretty good as far as following the road rules though so I guess they don't have any reason to. I've been in situations though in some of my mates cars where we have been pulled over for no reason, just so the cop can look over the car to try and find something wrong.
Never got pulled over in my 5GC either, actually.

[cheela]

maybe we just have too many ricers in my town. can't go for a drive without meeting one of them.

[cheela]

WTF~!! have to bring this thread back cuz guess what? it happened again tonight.

So I'm driving home again and i'm behind this cop car. All the sudden he try to squeal his tires in front of me and drive off. Then he waits at the next stop light, he sees me coming so he flashes his lights to try and get away since it's a red light. but it turns green so I follow him. But the stupid cop car got stuck in traffic and i went into the other lane to go home. WTF!! Cocky ass byatch! I wasn't trying to race him or anything. Just WTF?

Cops in my town are such dumbasses.

[carcamo]

i think they are cause i get that alot too i dont know why i actualy got pulled over twice but they didnt have a reason to give me a ticket but they tried to find one
