    Default Hello from Seattle, WA

    Moving from an Escort 9500i to a 9500ci. I'll be doing the install in my '06 M5 next week. I'll be diving deep into these forums for suggestions, hints and tips. This place is a fantastic resource!

    The problem with the ZR4s in Seattle is that you'll be mostly up against Ultralyte laser guns, which the ZR4s struggle against. My opinion is that you're going to need to add either Veil or better laser jammers.

    Good info. I've been trying to figure out what kinds of guns are used up here. Most of my commute is highway, along I90 and I5.

    I realize the ZR4s are less than optimal. I wish there was a simple upgrade to the jammers to avoid running two sysems. I may end up going that route.

    I'll certainly be applying Veil to the headlights.

    I only travel there for work every few months or so. The only guns I've seen are Ultralytes, but I'm far from the best source on this matter.

    I had my Veil professionally applied. Since I have zero art skills, the professional application looks 1000% better than my brutal attempt at Veil application.

    Have MEM-TEK modify your ZR4 heads like the ones he tested at our last session, those kicked everything we shot at it.
    Valentine One (3.858 Ice Cream Truck, 3.812 in Vette)
    4 Head LI (On Vette) (7.11 CPU Regular heads front, HP Heads on the rear)
    9500ci (On Vette)

    LI Quad (On Ice Cream Truck)

    LI Dual (On SRX, 7.06 CPU)

    ProLaser II, ProLaser III, Stalker LZ-1, LTI Marksman & Laser Atlanta "R" (looking for an Ultralyte LRB)

    2008 Corvette Z-51 Coupe

    Escort 9500 ix (Cadillac SRX)

    I don't think he is actually doing it at the moment. He is trying some new LED's in the ZR4's and had amazing results at our last test. He has been sharing his info with Escort.
