Any radar detector experts in here?

I'd like to find out for a friend, where can he buy one & if there are any recommended brands?

Thanks,

Neltronics is the main distributor, but I'm not sure if they actually sell them.

I know that Audiocom in Morley sell them, and that they recently had a good sale price on them.

I like the Bel Vector series. The detectors that are installed into the car (sensors placed in bumper grille), while hidden, are known to fail regularly.

the main distributor in perth is radars.com.au if im not wrong. i would recommend the whistler pro. i hv a bel vector myself, i wont say its very good it works alrite but apprantely the whistler pro works twice as good for a fraction of the price..

i dont believe in radar detector after using it for just under two years.. keep both eyes open or just.. DONT SPEED :P

but do check out radars.com.au

I had a Bel Vector a few years back. Sent it in for repairs through Ozcom, and they promptly lost it. Never got a replacement, never got money back, too expensive to buy another. But it had served its purpose, and saved me when I was a more aggressive driver.

Police have radar detector detector's.

However, you could foil them by buying a Radar Detector Detector Detector. They detect any radars, and also radar detector detectors, but only if the radar detector detector isn't a radar detector detector detector detector, as then it will detect your radar detector detector detector.

BUT...

You see you could THEN buy a Radar detector detector detector detector detector which........

...oh FFS nevermind.

is there an actual fine for having a radar detector

If I remember correctly, it is legal to have a radar detector in WA, don't think you can in the other states though

That's why you need a radar detector detector detector.

I think one of the new Decepticons in the next Transformers movie is a Radar Detector actually.

just gotta know when to speed and when to do the limit ;) pay attention to traffic up ahead, if they slow down etc etc, in the 2 years i've had my license and the whole time i've been meaning to get a detector, i've only been pulled over once, 70 in a 50 zone, undercover xr6 turbo, white. Cops wearing casual clothing :P i think if u want to avoid all cops/radars altogether u need to pay the big $$ and get top of the range?

The only radar detector at the moment that is undetectable is the beltronics sti. Was looking at getting one myself. Around $600-$700. However after I found out about the penalties I passed :P

Fines about $1000, 8 demerit points and confiscate the radar detector. Wish I lived in the W.A :(

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
