Default Share your experience re : roadblock problems with forced induction cars

I'm of course referring to those drivers with typical cars that are not considered 'sporty' when stock (eg. Wira, Myvis, Kancils, Sentras etc etc etc) but had modified the vehicle subsequently with turbos or superchargers.

Do you get a lot of attention at JPJ/Polis roadblocks with that intercooler sticking out front, that bodykit, the loud exhaust, etc ?

I'm just curious how you guys manage to get by without being hauled over to the side by some overzealous enforcement officer.

most of the time i do not get attention on roadblocks, the only pissing off ones are the peronda lebuh raya, i dont know whts up with them , but they alwiz want kopi from me , i would say , i keep my car simple , no extensive bodykits , no big gt wings, i got a middle box for my exhaust system and a hks dragger which is very quiet. i usually open up the window, keep a wide smile and just wave by passing blocks

be humble, and to listen to the officers. Don't be smart alec and challenge the officers. Talk nicely to them, and they will let the offender go.

My car got HID mod, but they let me go with a warning.

I was in Alor Setar recently on my way to Langkawi. For such a small town, there seems to be a disproportionate number of modded cars on the road.

LOL jin. If I was the officer, I'll be suspicious if I see a driver wearing a big grin on his face for no reason and waving. Malaysians (especially on the road) are never that friendly, no matter what they say in the tourist brochures.

I normally just acknowledge a roadblock waveby with a nod and a wave of my own, but I never smile hehehe.
