Nope. I have never owned one. I use my eyes, and I am always scanning the horizon if I know I am going at a speed that will result in a ticket. Normally I keep it under 10 mph over the speed limit and they leave me alone. When I make my pulls I make sure there are no cops and slow down if there are any cars.

Have my V1 on a blendmount... not sure if they make them for that specific one. It mounts your radar detector to your rear view mirror. I also have it hardwired through my headliner in to my auto dim mirror power connection.

I will get one of these mounts. Problem solved and for less than the ticket cost.

More third gear pulls today.

Old 5 psi actuator below:





New 8 psi actuator below. Boost is holding much better with the new actuator.

No details or hints or thoughts on wheel/tire combos you are considering? With how hot it gets in Miami, especially with the Heat losing and sweating over the waiting Spurs, I bet a nice thick radiator would really help your car as well.

LOL! I gotta finish sweating off the Pacers!! I'm looking into Yoshihara Design DY-12c wheels. Still undecided on the tires. Thick radiator as in FBM?? wink wink.
