I will post again when I get the bill for the bail amount. Probably in the range of 300-400 from looking at what other have paid. I dont think this was ticket had anything to do with import profiling, I was just going in the commuter lane a bit too fast and got popped.

I dont think a radar or laser jammer would have done anything in this case, he wasnt using a radar gun, he just came off the on ramp and speed up to catch me in the far left lane going 90+.

Thanks for all the support.

The one feature built into the HKS Type-1 Turbo Timer that I thought I would never use was the speed warning. I've set mine to 70 mph and that annoying little beep has saved me from three tickets so far (/me crosses fingers).

Food for thought

Insurance will definitely know about it. Whether they do anything about it is an entirely different question, and will depend on a few different factors.

You can retro fit a cruise control from JC Whitney or from Lansers (if they have it) for a stock look.

I got a ticket from Texas HP three months ago and I want to go and fight it but guess what? The Judge is out on extended leave and they don't know when she'll be back

You won't get a point but you will have to pay for the ticket and traffic school.

I grew up in Soquel!!! I lived there from 1975 until 1993 (graduated from Soquel High in 1987).

By the way, sorry about the ticket. I just drove the 405 last week coming back from Escondido. It's easy to speed on that highway.

V1 is coming soon, no more speeding on open highways until then. I graduated from soquel high in 2000, good to hear some other evo owners are from my area.

I got stopped on Christmas day. 51mph in a 40 speed limit, couldn't find my insurance card and my inspection sticker was two months expired. Got off. He asked why I was speeding and I told him I could give you a reason but I'm sure you heard thousands of reasons. I found my insurance card in my wallet, went and got my car inspected and slowed down.
