its been covered on myth busters on abc, it doesnt shit

Saw this, nothing at all worked, even some huge contraption they stuck on the roof with rotating mirrors couldn't affect radar or lidar. Australia uses lidar I believe.

Rotating number plate sounds interesting haha, is it really worth it though? Easier not to be a dick on the streets.

Yer I heard that hairspray doesn't work on speed cameras.

but the things about speed cameras are, if you've been past that road before and know it's there, just slow down for 100 metres or so and speed up again if you want.

My friend bought an interesting device from taiwan that fits above the number plate.

It's basically some type of light sensor with a flash attached to it. If it detects a flash (from the first flash of a speed camera) it will flash itself and the numberplate is hidden. Cops wont' see it either. He tested it out with a normal hand held camera and it worked, but with red-eye reduction the sensor got confused with the multiple flashes.

there are speed sensor lines in the road 3 ithink these measure distance over time to get speed reading once you past these sensors you can put your foot down except the ones in wollongong these ones use radar this is for fixed speed cameras. keep an i out for the lines

I've seen it, and i didnt know it was on the car (it was parked) and when i was walking it drew my attention sooo much, then i realised what it actually was, if i could see this that easily, imagine if you had a cop behind you how easily they could see it. Its really not worth it guys, best bet is not to speed at all, but if you have too dont do it where you know cameras are usually.

I wonder if you could dodgey something up to work like those welding masks with the liquid crystal clear faces that go black when you start to weld.

Only work at night i guess but, most of the times i got done were at night.

Basically not taking notice...72 in a 60...doh..in a celica ! 3am on a Sunday night....Sheeeeeeite !

There was some device i saw on an old top gear episode a while ago that is originally used for an automatic garage opener.

You place the little sensor near you front number plate and when the sensor detects a radar signal it sends its own signal back and thus causing whatever sent the original signal out to get a error reading. You could even hook up a LED inside the car so you would know when it was operating. I think this was only usefully on the hand held radars the cops use on the side of the road tho.

I did a search on this when i first saw it on top gear and found 1 place in the UK selling it for 200 Pounds plus shipping!!

Its just as easy to hit the brakes as it is to hit a switch and flip your plates, obviously you'd have to see the camera or know its there anyway, whats the point?.. unless you're planning on doing some mountain sprints for a few hours.. and even then, if a cop is sitting behind some trees waiting for you, no switch is going to save your ar5e anyway.

Probably only good for when you're at a meet/cruise and some n00b takes a pic of your car and posts it up plates and all..

from what I have seen, those sprays do nothing.

There is however a little divice called the road angel, which kind of works like sat-nav, except it has all the fixed speed camera locations in it's memory, and every time you approach a speed camera, it warns you so you can slow down for it.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
