QuoteSpanky In my old age, I just pay the fine and move on. In my area, one ticket could cost several thousands of dollars. It's not just the fines, but the increased insurance rates that follow for 3-5 years. Plus, in CT, if you are more than 30 MPH over the limit, it's an automatic license suspension plus reckless driving (criminal offense, not traffic). Keep in mind that most of our highby Gator Bite - Main Forum
Funny you mention this number. I just spend $1,500 on my daily driver, a 2000 VW Passat. I was struggling in my mind with whether or not it was worth spending this much on a 175,000 mile car that's worth maybe $3,000 or $4,000. But I thought along the same lines as the original poster. The car is in good shape, it drives fine, and spending $1,500 a year is a lot cheaper than spending $400-$50by Gator Bite - Main Forum
Assuming you have a 986, P1579 means the Crankshaft Sensor is not within it's specified range.by Gator Bite - Main Forum
Quotesteve on hhi n/t Thank you. It wasn't exactly a walk in the park, but that's because I tend to me pretty fastidious (nice way of saying 'anal retentive'). I have a lot of experience with this kind of work, so this job was fun. I did it as a winter project, so I really can't say how long it took me. Little bits and pieces over 2 months. Here are some snap shots of from the install procby Gator Bite - Main Forum
That would be informative. I can assure you, it's not a myth. I've personally held and shot laser guns at cars when I was training on this subject. Counter measures work, but they do vary widely in effectiveness. The K-40 is about the worst, jamming 1 or 2 of the guns out there, and only at long range. The Laser Interceptors are indisputably the best, thanks to their laser diode emitters, jaby Gator Bite - Main Forum
Here's a review that I wrote up two years ago, when I first got me 9500ci. It contains a lot of great information that is very relevant to this discussion. I've shared this at a few various forums, and to answer your question, no I don't work for Escort, nor did I receive anything for this review. I just love to document my projects and share them with my fellow car enthusiast friends. I've dby Gator Bite - Main Forum
A good question, with a pretty complex answer unfortunately. You really need to know how True Lock (that's what escort calls it) works to understand. True Lock works by measuring both the location of the car, and the frequency of the radar source. If the system sees the same frequency in the same location three times in a row, it assumes it must be a false signal and memorizes it, assuming youby Gator Bite - Main Forum
Yup... My first post and already causing trouble.... I'm sure to take a beat down from the V1 disciples..... Question for you.... What does *NM* in the subject mean?by Gator Bite - Main Forum
QuoteRoger987 Unless you're driving where their use is illegal, get the Valentine 1. A friend who's tried them all swears buy it. Once you've had the arrows, you'll never go back to anything else. All the GPS bells and whistles the other guys are hyping is largely irrelevant. What you need is a detector that gives you ample warning and tells you where the bogies are and how many.
