Go down Riverside Drive, do a few tight corners, and stop at St Ronans Ave- I'll be waiting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V1 works good, used to have one, got stolen. I think their popularity with criminals speaks volumes for their effectivity.

PM me to arrange this.My black CSL is the same colour as my 'Hutt Valley' T-shirt I bought from the Dowse Art Gallery. It comes up well in speed cameras. Ususally get up to 165 kph just returning the video a coulpe of hundred meters up the road. Might try Eastbourne roads one dark night when there are no waves bashing houses down.

Sladden park is always fun on a wet day, just watch out for the groundskeeper. Would love to see a CSL give the playing fields a thorough seeing-to.

rxsumo 33 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 If you are going to buy a radar detector, go for the V1, make sure it is the NZ mod'ed one with the X Band "removed". Radar detectors that arent windscreen mounted, generally dont have range of the windscreen mounted units, and the advantage of a windscreen mounted V1 is that its "looking" in both a forward and reverse direction. Personally (after years of habitual speeding, and having owned Radar Detectors and Jammers since the original Super Snooper), I vary rarely bother with carrying the unit these days. The Stalker unit fitted to most Police cars now, is virtually undetectable in operation, generally the mode of operation that the Highway Patrol Units (marked or mufti) use is the steath mode. What this means is that if there is a roving cop you might see him if he is instant oning a car in front of you, but if you are the only car on the road, chances are the first time the radar detector goes off you are done. Unlike the old Hawk units where you could scrub off up to 11 kmh once the radar detector goes off, the reaction time of the Stalker is that fast that you cant beat it. The Stalker is a Ka band unit which has a very short beam.....relatively short pickup range (unlike X Band that could detect things in excess of 5 km away), but it also means that you have a relatively short detection range as well. The V1 does work well with detecting the cameras Laser Jammers seem to work, but there are a heap less lasers out there, than car mounted units. But its all a compromise, to cut down on destection ranges you should remove as much of the shiny stuff off the car. A mate of mine was involved with the testing of the original Hawk units at Ohakea. His Ferrari 400, with black number plates, and pop up headlights was virtually undetectable until he was right on top of the patrol car, whereas his daily drive car, with conventional headlights and white number plates was picked up as it started the test run. However to beat the camera's you want the black reflective numbers for your number plates...so you either beat the flash cameras, and increase your detectability to conventional radar and the lasers, or you cover as much of the reflective surfaces as you can, and leave yourself exposed to camera flashes. These days my licence is more important than fast A-B times, if I'm going for a fang, I'll keep it to stretches of roads well and truely off the beaten tracks, or for the track. Intercity work for me now is 100-110 kmh. With the Hawk units radar detectors would "see" them for miles, and your radar detector would definitely save your licence. With the Stalker you havent got a chance of beating it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
