#3. Radar & Speeding - from McCarthy, Brian
Top
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 17:58:48 -0800 From: "McCarthy, Brian" <Brian.McCarthy@intermec.com> Subject: Radar & Speeding With the recent talk of x band and k band radar, let me expand band to "laser". Does anyone know if the laser guns use an infrared or visible laser? Are the laser-based speed guns detectable to the human eye at night? On my dark nighttime commute home, I can't see if there's a trooper sitting in their well known "hiding places" in the interstate median until I'm almost upon them. It's too dark. Would the laser show up as a flickering? Just curious. Brian '95 M3, lowered, chipped, upgraded - but no radar detector. Seattle Wa.

It's a basic hand tool from McMaster-Carr Supply, but it worked for me. Let me know if you're interested. I'm in the Philly 'burbs. And to answer a couple of other questions, you do need to drill out the holes (and preferably chamfer them), and the subframe is a box section, so there's no rear access to use regular nuts.

I use Liberty Mutual for all. I haven't gotten my renewal rates yet but I'm currently paying $735 for my 98 M3/4 and $533 for my 95 540i. These are for 12 months. Coverage is 250,000/500,000 Liability$250 deductible comp and $500 deductible collision. Also includes the usual uninsured motorist coverage. Discounts include all those you have.

Visable light would, as you say, be too easy to detect at a distance at night. Plus visable light might be considered a hazard if you compound the "Oh Crap!" factor of seeing a cop with being blinded by a bright light at night. Not that there's enough energy to actually blind you but it could be distracting. -Matt --- "McCarthy, Brian" <Brian.McCarthy@intermec.com> wrote: > > With the recent talk of x band and k band radar, let > me expand band to > "laser".

It was F0 which translates to "Misfire detected - Cylinder 3". No other fault codes. Approximately 36 hours before the check engine light came on, I filled up on gas. Maybe I got some bad fuel? The car drove fine after leaving the station. I didn't drive it the next day but the following morning is when the check engine light came on.
