I have one installed in the center console - the detectors are mounted on the front & rear bar (for alerting to cops coming up behind me) - it picks up lasers and radors. You wouldnt know it was there if you didnt know where to look. It has always gone off with plenty of warning and is set to not go off at doors etc.

I bought a radar detector for about 650, a beltronics. I turned off k and x band as if you have them turned on your radar detector will be useless. This is the best setup for a radar detector and I can tell you now it works 100% of the time.

I have never had a speeding fine in 2 years.

About the legality, the guy at the store told me they are legal. I stopped at a booze bus once and a cop said i should take it down as it’s illegal to use them in WA. I don’t know if I believe him and still use it daily.

About that theft thing, why would you leave it up? Put it in your glove box. That’s like leaving a mobile on the dash... silly :cheers:

hmm they are legal yes

but just careful WHERE you put it, my mate got caught for obstructing view thingy, $100 for having his speedo near his rearview mirror. i guess they were a bit narky about it... pms'd cops they mustve been.

theft? simple... just dont enter a parking lot with one on, let alone take it off after u park... same with northbridge... no need for one on a sat'day night on james st either.

ive have noticed that there are so many cameras on the street now guys, before i use to see them once a month and now i seriously lost count of how many i spot out.

so im planning to invest in a radar detector, im looking into the Whistler DE-1793 SE

its $695 and rank upto the best of bells. only very few radar detectors pick up the new POP band, but im seriously considering to get one of these in the near future.

does any1 know any cheaper yet just as good radar detectors around?

and is any1 here interesting in gettig one of these themselves too, cuz we can get a group purchase together and make it cheaper for all of us. any seggestion?

cheers

im decidin whether to purchase the bel rx65 or rocky mountain. I know the rocky mountain is developed usin military technology. Rocky mountain is also very competivitly priced, and according to their website, they are faster then the beltronics. Only thing stoppin me is the fact that beltronics has such a good reputation. Ive seen one bloke sellling the rx65 for 500. If we manage to get a couple of blokes together we could possibly get it between 450-480 dollars a piece. Anyone interested??? I'll find out today wether he'll budge on the price.

Cheers.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
