Loc: Markham On my lunch break at work, I decided to head down to Straight Line Racing to pick up a few things. Saw they still had 5 gallon drums of C16 so I decided to grab two pails to sit on over the cold season coming up So I toss one in front of the driver seat, and one in the back seat, as they obviously won’t fit in the trunk of my DSM.
So I pull back out onto Bayly so I can get back on the 401 via Liverpool, and immediately I noticed an OPP car tuck in right behind me like a hawk. sh!t, perfect timing. I knew I was in for something.
So I’m going below the 60 speed limit, he finally puts his cherries on after a traffic light. I pull over, and he pulls up next to me, tells me to pull into the parking lot on the right. Ok cool.
We pull in, I park my car. I greet him and he greets me back, and then tells me hes a Ministry of Trasportation Environment Enforcement officer. Ok cool, I’m shitting bricks now, but maintain that smile on my face.
Him: “Why do you have cans of race gas in the car?”
Me: “Oh I just bought some from Straight Line Racing, where I pulled out from, its for my buddies.”
He says my car smells like sh!t, like unburnt fuel. Asks me if I have a cat, and all the emmissions hooked up.
Me: "of course officer the car is mint, has a high-flow cat, it passes emmissions with flying colors "
He goes: “So you got your e-test done from XXXX Automotive eh ? We’ve been seeing some odd cars with passed e-tests from there”
(Go figure )
Me: “yea my wife drives the car, she must of taken it somewhere for the e-test back then, but yea it passed”
He goes: “ok I’m gonna have to check to see if the cat is there and need to check under your hood to make sure your emmissions crap is all hooked up.”
Ok so I’m getting ready for some tickets now, or having my car towed and not going back to work this afternoon
Pop my hood, start my car, and we’re both standing there in silence for about 30 seconds listening to it idle. Mike Degli’s gun metal valve cover job, RTM racing spark plug cover, FP3065, Tial, and all FP accessories just blinging
He goes wow man you really keep it clean! Im like yea yea…etc… He’s staring at the turbo, Tial, and dump tube. Then he goes over to the throttle body area, lines are looped on the 1g throttle body, no lines going to the EGR as I have a block off plate. He gives the Devils Own meth injection a glance, goes over the battery, then decides to check to see if the hose going to my valve cover is on securely. Luckily he didn’t look to see where the other end was going, clearly visible in front of him, dangling off the tranny with a breather
I say: “so what exactly you looking for?”
He says nicely: “Ahhh we just gotta check to see if this hose is on tightly and there are no leeks”.
I’m like: “hey man, this is my baby, my summer car, engines been rebuilt, and she passes emmissions no problems and runs mint.”
I think he never saw a DSM engine bay clean and shiny ever, he seemed like he was in shock.
He goes “Ok cool, put down the hood. I’m just gonna need to check to see if your cat is working.”
He goes to the cruiser, pulls out some device, lays on the ground and points/touches the cat with it.
He gets up laughing and says “that thing is hollow as sh!t man!”
I’m like, “no way man, you seen my turbo, I don’t need to punch my cat like those NA guys to pick up 5 hp, it has a high flow cat. Muffler is a Brullen so it probably sounds a little raspy.”
He’s like “yea thats tru, you got turbo in this, so do you run Juice?”
Now we are just basically shooting the sh!t with each other, and I tell him its all turbo and I don’t need juice or a hollow cat to make power.
We’ll he believes me and says maybe my chip is burning too much fuel or something and to get it checked out ???
I tell him how these cars just need an idle and 3000rpm test to pass emissions, and it could be possible it didn’t pick up such a rich mixture or possibly a bad EGR, blah blah blah…
He goes: “yea your right, see you know your stuff man”
I say, “ok, I got to get back to work, I work at Dell, as he’s looking at my badge.”
He goes “ok have a nice day!”
We both get in our cars and take off.
Whewwww!
I thought these guys were more trained than that
FP3065 : 11.00@131.73 MPH
best mph: 11.172@136.00, no traction
