my friend said they will be ticketing heavily ( inside popo buddy ) so i imagine easy ones will be tint/exhaust/and he said they will be measuring height as well for big ones.

 

awesome..

 

if you don't do anything stupid leaving the lot or in the lot you are fine. the cops will not bother you. there more so to pull over the honda/acura people because they have the most illegal stuff on there cars and drive like asses. The people that take off 100mph out of the lot and spin there tires will be pulled over seeing the uconn campus police station is right infront of the lot.

 

not if theyre going to be looking for tint/exhaust/ride height. that could be anyone. just relaying the message he told me

 

okay ways to fix things are. keep windows down don't step on the gas hard and for ride height i got nothing lol.

 

Glad im from out of state ill be freshly inspected and everything i have is legal here haha

 

Yeah out of staters will be fine. Mostly a warning for locals

 

so 100% meeting at big y in tolland? im in waterbury but ill deff be game to meet up with you guys so i an stay with all the cobalts. what time should we all be there and what not. lets make this official!

 

yeah lets all meet at the big y in tolland what do you think would be a good time?

 

mhm idk im down whenever. friday morning im gonna wash my car and do all my detailing since i work night shift and wont have time. gates open at 9 so we should deff be there at that time so we know well all get a spot together. and that way well have time to register if any of us are registering for any of the classes. how far is uccon from big y? i dont really know the area since im down in waterbury.

 

its like 15min away if that. You turn right out of the Big Y parking lot and you go straight for the whole time and you end up right infront of the car show. its just slow people and lights that hold everyone up.want to meet at 8 30?

 

YEA we're going leave Dover at what 5am? its about 3 hours to CT Plus stopping at Dana's

 

I think someone said 8am in a previous post but we can say 8-8:30 in case people are running late, and give the NH guys some more time

 

sounds good 8-8:30 it is.

 

alright so ill be there for 8-830 sounds good!

 

I've heard the same from other forums and a few buddies of mine backed this up. They elaborated more saying that cops will be inspecting every vehicle coming in and out of the show for an non-street legal mods (no cats, loud exhausts, side exit exhausts, tints, ect ect). Whether or not they will be going to the extent of inspecting each vehicle with undercarriage mirrors is questionable, however I personally don't think I will be risking the chance of a hefty ticket none the less so I think I'm out.

 

Why does law enforcement have such a hard on for this show? Why all the attention?

I'm not feeling good about my ride. I had lots of problems last week and I'll be hard pressed to get the car to where I want it to look by show time.

I was supposed to get my calipers powdercoated last week. Took them off and started to break them down and found out that my slide pins on my brembos were seized up, and that my drivers rear caliper was seized and had a torn boot. Spent $250 on a caliper and pins (overnighted since my car was taking up a lift), and then couldn't afford the powdercoating. So I blasted the calipers and painted them with spray on caliper paint. After 48 hours the calipers were still tacky and got all messed up putting them on the car, so I pulled them back off and blasted them clean again. They are on the car as bare aluminum now.

Then my new wheels and tires came in and the wheels dont fit. They hit the brembos.

So, before the show, I've still got to figure out wheels, try to ignore the calipers that I now hate, repaint my chipped bottom front lip, install my new retros, clear my tail lights, and wash and detail the car.

We'll see, I guess.

 

^ thats no good. we painted them and you drove home same day weird they were tacky after 48 hrs. Stock rims FTW just put your summers back on them. were all meeting up on 495 at the rest stop we usually meet up at.

 

I don't think they would take the time to check 600 cars in and out for stupid stuff like tint or exhaust. As long as you don't rev like crazy or do anything stupid we all will be fine.

 

there going to be checking cars that have the load ass muffler on them and are like a inch from the ground are cobalts will get in no problem. its all the civic kids and vw and subaru that need to worry

 

yeah my tints state minimum and other then that all i have is my tsudo exhaust and that isnt to bad. and like someone else said im sure ther not going to check like 600+ cars. PLUS why would they tell us in advanced i bet they would LOVE to surprise everyone and get all those tickets. so im calling BS

 

yeah i have been going the past 4 years they dont do much but if you speed on the road going to the show you will get stopped and there state cops

 

Exactly. Unless there is something obvious illegal there won't be a problem. What do you think about front license plate? I know a lot of people take them off.

 

keep your front plate on and make sure there is nothing covering them. i got stopped for having a tinted cover over the front and rear plate.

 

I have both of mine with no cover. I've seen cars with the clear cover thats all dirty, and recently a truck with a clear cover and 3 red LED lights across the top of the plate. They were so bright and reflected off the cover I couldn't read the plate lol
