After 1 min inspecting my front grill came back to the window (I switched the fan off then) Cop: Whats that noise? A fan I said. Cop: Whats it for? I was 17 then and trying not to laugh said COOLING.........I drove away with an expensive ticket Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5747-experiences-with-the-police/page/13/#findComment-636911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of questions now...*is a pod filter illegal? *I just bought a rapid cooler set-up when I install it will that be illegal?
