Pull over with SR but no pop

[pink godzila]

Anyone got pull over with a SR in you s13 or s14 in SoCal area?? Well two of my friends been pulled over in Rowland Height and Walnut area but no hood pop!!

1) My friend just got his s13 swaped with SR last week and he took the car out for a joy ride. We when down to Rowland Height to hangout with couple friends at TenRen in Dimond Plaza. (If you been to the old 626 Dimond Plaza meet you know how thoese cops in Rowland Height area). Anyways, on our way back to Diamond Bar we got pull over on Colima rd just pass Nogales ave. He was like "f***" .. His car has full Origin kit, TE37, lowered, and big a$$ HKS-Hi power exhuast (sound really quiet) and he was doing ONLY 35 mph!! and still got pull over for somehow. But the lucky thing is the cops only gave him a fix ticket for exhuast been too big and without poping his hood ... werid. Well its good that he got away for the SR in his car.

2) Friend of mine just got out the summer class at Mt. Sac and heading to my other friends house in Rowland Hts. When he just turn onto Valley, he got pulled over right away by a cops that just come out from the plaza on Grand ave. All he got was just a exhuast ticket aswell and didnt get pop.

So both of them got lucky?? dont think so... so anyone had been pulled over lately (SR) but lucky without poping your hood??

Added:

Im not saying that everyone out there with s13 or s14 go get your SR swaped or.. what.. just want to see if anyone out there also got pulled over without getting pop.

I've been pulled over a couple of times without getting my hood popped.

It all depends on the cop.

mm.. so whats the reason they pulled you over??

Question, what if you got pop (just an example) do they give you fix ticket or.. took your car away as impounted.

[SDS13COUPE]

Same here. Been pulled over a couple of times but no hood pop. Once by CHP, and 2 or 3 by SDPD. I just drive normally to avoid cops attention. Be careful out there.

You must be lucky then.. most CHP knows about 240 and striaght forward to know whats under your hood.

[Zero_SX]

Yes. Twice in 2006. Once on hacienda goin into whittier. Speeding ticket in the rain.
Another in antelope valley for an illegal u-turn. and no seat belt. with automatic seatbelts. -_-

both times my exhaust notes were in low rpm's.

[downshift_sideways]

I've been hood popped 3 times.

and each time was my own fault.

Keep your shit looking bone stock.

I'd rather have a stock looking 240sx with a heartplant.

Than a kitted out 240sx with fat wheels with a heartplant.

I had a little run in with the chp

My hotpipe popped off on the freeway and my car died. So i pulled over, pop my hood break out the ratcheting 10mm and while im tightening up the t bolt clamp CHP surprises me by walking up to me while my hood is popped.

Heres the conversation with the cop.

CHP: "whats up boss, you ok?"

ME:"Yea, a pipe came off while i was driving so i pulled over to fix it."

CHP:"Oh, your hotpipe to your intercooler came off?"

Me:".....!!!?????"

He then steps back and says "nice front mount, what kind is it?"

CHP: "XS Power!??? why didnt you get a greddy or hks?"

Im fucking sweating bullets, he knows what hes talking about.

Me:"......"

CHP:"You know this sr20 is illegal right?

I didnt say shit, haha

CHP:"watch out for other cops cuz they will take your shit. (He said he has better things to do then ticket someone for something stupid.)

Then he said he liked my rims and he let me go.

[ho0dlumka13]

I thought it was only highway and sherife that could make u pop ur hood. I don't think local pd can make u pop. Correct me if I'm wrong

[jdm510]

^^ I think you may be wrong my friend got is hood popped in his hatch by CVPD(chula vista) they did not impound his crappy honda but he has a supper illigal b20fagtec and got a ticket with a referel to the REF, but he told me that he can just pay 300 and its thrown out or somthing?? But then i also heard your car is then put on a black list and if you get it "smogged" you and the person who smogged it will be in deep shit.... this may not be true as some one could of been feeding me a line of shit

bare with me on spelling plase

you would be surprised to find out how many cops are car enthusiasts who used to talk shit about cops only to become one later lol.

[CrimsonRockett]

^Seriously.

When I got my hood popped, meanwhile a POS prick cop was writing me a ref ticket(for a fucking header/intake...come on...), i was talking to the other cop about s-chassis.

Turns out, he had bought one back in 95(he bought a 91) and lightly modified it.

Asked me if my exhaust was HKS, if I was running spacers on my wheels, and a few other technical questions.

Most cops aren't all that bad.

It really comes down to how you act toward them.

I've only been pulled over twice so far once was I was 100% wrong.
I was paying more attention to my GPS than the road and I had a decision to make the light or come to a screeching halt. After choosing option 1 I acclerated paying no attention to what gear I was in and didn't make it. Funny thing is soon as I realized I wasn't going to make it and I had the full attention of the local PD coming in the towards me. I knew I was caught so by the time she turned around I was parked with my license and reg. Luckly for me she probably knew I was military she pulled up next to me and told me "you know you were wrong but I got somewhere to go" I said Yes maam and thanked god. The other time I was looking for a Zilvian's house in a "nice neighborhood and looked suspious(sp?) creeping 8MPH. I was pulled over given directions and let go. Funny thing was he wanted me to leave first so I had to start my car. I started and prayed as I eased of and he didn't give a shyt. I honestly think its about appearance and attention you bring to yourself 90% of the time. 10% are cops with a pet peeve. Never forget the 10%!

Don't forget that not all cops know what a motor swap is, either. You're bound to get lucky.

[ayuaddict]

duct tape on a cracked vacuum line.

gaayy... i got a ref ticket and i have a g0ddamn ka too... pointed at my msd coil said it was illegal, but i have a carb sticker. and my cone intake and adapter with a factory plastic pipe (but i was told that as long as you use the factory intake pipe, doesn't matter what intake filter you use.... waste of my damn time getting it smogged and paying the fees... douche bags..

[1989rps13]

got a speeding ticket recently and cop said if i had modified exhaust i admitted to it so he just wrote me up for the ticket and said he wasnt going to give me modified exhaust or send me to the REF to get my hood pop. Again i highly believe if your not a dick to a cop then they wont dick around with you! But there are some cops that are complete a holes..anywho im happy that i got to pay a 367$ speeding ticket

[karl wasabi]

I live in the area. I ALWAYS avoid anything near Nogales road. The cops suck there. I've been pulled over 5 times on Nogales. 5 TIMES!!! It's crazy... haha.

[R32Dragon]

Man, that sucks. You really dont appreciate living in South Carolina until you read stories like these. The bumkin cops here dont give a rats-ass whats under your hood so long as you're driving close to the speed limit.

Do you ever got your hood pop??

what if you have SR?? ref ticket or impound?? any way can just pay off the fee without swap back to KA??

[kidbandikoot]

now i know if the cop wants to be a dick itll be done

but do they or do they not need a warrant for that type of shit especially if ur keeping under tha radar ( speed limit )

^^^ Apparenty if your car does not look like its from factory, and modified, it's already probable cause. I wouldn't suggest though that you tell them to get a warrent to pop your hood if you do get pulled over. I usually just coporate with the officer, tell him everything that happened and acknowledge my wrong doing. Usually if you make the cops job easier on them, they'll make it easier on you.

My friends car is fully modified... Origin Agressive kit all around and Volk TE37 (White), lowere on Coilover, HKS Hi-power.. (but quite), loud ass HKS BOV, and full gadges on dash didnt get hood pop!!

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

my cars just lowered on s techs. stock everythign except for plug wires and exhaust and I have a cheapy filter but have the srock plastic intake. I've gotten pulled over about 7 times since I've had my car. 4 out of 7 of the times they made me pop my hood. luckily I just have a KA. I tell them its stock but they still spend like five minutes looking for something haha. glendora PD is really bad. and so are sherriffs around the sandimas covina glendora area. I mean don't get me wrong thats just my opinion. but whenever I see a cop he most likely pulls me over. and 99% percent of the time its glendora pd or a sheriff.

[eminlemon]

LOLLLL omg dude thats funnny, man cops like that are fuckin badasss dude! love running into cops like that...always makes a good story!

[k's_silvia2.0]

I've been rolled and had hood popped all they asked is "whats that?" reffering to my HKS DD intake I was like "oh its just a filter like K&N ya know?" then one of them pionted at my tower bar and said "that wont do nothing without FULL suspension"
My lady's been rolled in my whip and nothing just a warning.

[datsunrdster]

I got stopped last wek and they asked me to pop my hood, just cause it was making a very screechy noise. but yeah i popped my hood and they found nothing. I only have a KA

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

its funny how they seem all tuff expecting to see an sr or a turbo'd motor when your about to pop it. they get a big smile on there face like this kids done. then when I open it there like haha I'm like yeah. its a stock motor like I told ya lol. then I drive away laughing with a warning

[pink godzila]

I was thinking about a VQ swap from a 350z... sure going to pass smog for sure but what about cops?? that still give you shit on VQ?

[DRFTWHORE]

i exit 210 freeway in sierra madre pasadena area, local PD pulls me over.
funny thing is he told me to pop the hood didnt even ask for license or registration. he tell me to sit on the curb while he inspects the car. hes giving me all dis shit bout how he can crush my car dis dat. then he closes my hood tells me to tone my shit down. so now i got stock coldside intercooler piping greddy hotpipe painted black and goes to a front mount painted black my hks bov mounted by the intercooler, stock airbox but my intake goes thru it its just so it looks stock.
