So last night i redid my ign with an msd rotor, cap, coil, module, and needed to tweak the timing just a little after i installed it all. Went way out into a dead industrial area (and i mean DEAD. I saw one other car).. Did a few 2nd and 3rd wide open pulls, pulled to the side, moved dist a bit to advance, you know the deal. Then i got back in the car, and pull away good at a stoplight, no tire squeal or anything but just a good pull thru 2 and 3. Cop shows up outta NOWHERE.. I look in the rearview and see the headlights of a car way behind me coming fast and i just knew.. you can always make out those interceptor headlights eh.. He comes up and says he was doing 120 km/h and I was still moving away.. yikes.. So i explain to him that i was doing some tuning, and he obviously saw my hands and greasy shirt lol, but i didnt think it would mean sh*t..
I was SO nervous though, anyone here that lives in ontario knows that the local fuzz (especially in greater toronto area) is allll up with the new street racing law, where you can lose your license on the spot, have your car towed, face up to 30 days in jail, and a fine from 500- 10 000 dollars :shock: so when he went back to his car, i said to myself: Ok, thats it, its over.. guess we're parkin the Monte for a couple years, gonna ride the bus, and eventually commit suicide lol
. But he comes back, and hands me a ticket for 20 km/h over the limit . Then asks me "does this car have catalytic converters?" I said "Nope.. It doesn't need them, its pre-emissions." Pretty sure it still does being an 87, as it originally had one, but i said it with enough confidence that he just said "um, i thought it was in the seventies but ok then", and that was that. Told me it would be wise not to take the 20 over ticket to court because he would sh*t all over me with his testimony lol. I suppose i could because he did not pace me or radar/laser me, but i wasn't about to try anything...
What a night. Looks like i'll have to be more careful on an "empty" road these days.
