    Yeah the compressions lower on the LET compaired to the XE, double headgasket will get round that tho, you'd also need extra oil ways for the turbo or a seperate oil pump n stuff for the turbo...

    From the linked article :

    The five-inch wide cat's eyes contain cameras which read number plates and record speeds up to 150mph
    Looks like they can ?

    The cameras read you numberplate and display it on a large roadside screen in order to embarass speeding drivers- stop them from doing it again.

    Simmilar to the roadside screens in the south of the country that display what speed you are travelling as you approach them.

    Money-grabbing idiots

    If one political party took a stance to reform the speed camera's and roads in Britain i reckon they would get sooooo many votes from the driving public!! Its a big issue to heart, its got out of hand.

    i doubt a cateye based system could ever be used for prosecution by itself, as it cant track a cars distance and provide 2 pictures. besides, installing one means diggint the road up wheras installing a truvato/gatso doesnt..

    could maybe be used as part of specs?

    i also think it'd be dodgy as you get mud/water distorting the view..

    incidentally - has anyone driven down a road with those led cateyes in? the really bright ones? next time ya do, turn your headlights off and just follow the lines.. great feeling (like landing a plane or sommat)
