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.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
