Someone mentioned 'entrapment' before and you see it often in threads relating to fines etc, im fairly sure that entrapment is an american thing and as such, has no relevance here.

Also reguarding the cops word against yours, i have *heard* that if a regular traffic cop (sergeant, constable) in a marked car pulls you up, they must show evidence of you speeding, however if it is a detective in an unmarked car, their word is deemed evidence enough.

Not correct. There must be sufficient evidence to prove the offence. It does not matter if it was a sergeant or a detective sergeant. If it was a highway vehicle that pulled you over you have no chance of beating the charge. Fines are listed into categories. 15 and under/over etc. The speed that you were caught doing must have been over 45km. The offence code it broken down to exceed speed over 45km. This means that all tickets over that speed are listed as above. The only chance that you have is if it wasnt a highway car then the officers that pulled you over estimated the speed because they are not fitted with radars hence the reason general duties vehicles dont get people for speeding. You can question their estimation skills in court but i seriosly doubt that it was one of these vehicles. Highway are fitted with radars and video cameras. If you do allect to go to court and plead not guilt, then the police have enough evidence to prove the offence. Seriously court will only cost you more money. Speeding is a very easy offence to prove. All the police have to show is that you were the driver of a motor vehicle on a road or road related area and that you were exceeding the speed by 45km. Talk to a solicitor but i think they will all say the same thing.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
