I've said my point though, it's dropped.

on the last point - man it's no pressure, I don't want to ever come off as being like "hey guys! - spend money here!"

I know that I'd eventually have a tuned ECM, I even emailed a shop out of province about this (they showed good numbers from another CSS member's tune) - but since they never replied, I gave up on them, and just decided I'd like to deal with someone locally rather than someone visiting from out of province... and if I can help any of you in the mean time great, the extra money I spent to become a dealer was worth it then.

My friend back home is a cop and he told me that tint was basically and "*******" check. So my theory is when getting pulled over make it as easy as possible on the cop and do the whole yes sir no sir deal. I even called my self "not very smart" once and imagine that there was an error on the ticket and it gets thrown out. That being said I do know CPS and police in general out here are much stricter about tint then they are in Southern Ontario. We do after all drive cop magnets I just choose my time and place for spirited driving wisely. Just my 2 cents though.

that doesn't always work. i'm always nice to cops, i do the whole skit, 4 ways on, car off, keys out of the ignition and on the dash and hands on the steering wheel, the cop is usually a bit nicer but doesn't get you out of tickets

You plan on autocrossing or road racing? Lots of money here and I'm questioning the gains, especially at 2.4 power levels.

I think that if you want to lower it then lower it. get some knoi's yellows for the drop. if you want better handling then get a sway bar and the pedders

I'm with you.

I was talking to the driver this morning when I got my ride to work.. he even agreed (older guy) tat caps seem to go out of their way to be rude these days...

I personally think the whole quota system (which supposedly ties into the officers eligibility for raises) and the whole hiring quota have both done a major dis-service to CPS, and any police service in general...

There used to be a time that they would be polite, and respectable, but these days with the attitude and the whole thing of foregners, or "racial minorities" over hiring the best person for the job, is totally BS.

I completely agree with you on that one! Cops always deny the fact that there is a quota hence the tremendous spike in cop activity at the end of each month!

they officially denied this for years, then a couple years ago the (interm?) head of the CPS, admitted that there is a quota - that's where I seem to recall the deal of it tieing into their eligibility for raises...

ya, that makes sense. but asking a cop about the quota will result in him saying there is no such thing! which I'm gonna start saying that I have a quota for how many times I speed a month! lol

you'll also notice the older cops tend to be more lenient with alot of things, its the younger ones that are usually dicks. all the one's i've gotten out of were older cops.

At the end of April, 2 cops sat by my school and handed out illegal turns left and right. They probably got at least 20 tickets a day

thats not really the fault of the cop tho, if you stupid enough to do an illegal turn when you know there's a cop presence then your asking to get a ticket.

Yeah. Quota or not, if 20 of you are dumb enough to make illegal turns right in front of cops they'll sit there all month writing tickets.
