this one:-

clicky

With manual - £40 delivered to Uk

£45 delivered to Europe/ USA

[Error404]

Too expensive?

Dunno what these are worth used to be honest - offers?


If not i'll keep the ****** to test my forthcoming B3 :mischeif:

[Nj]

that's amazing.. erm.. what is it?
(sorry - genuinely don't know what it is)

[Ski]

looks like a scanner.

[Error404]

sorry folks

Its a g-meter & accellerometer.
measures 0-60, 0-100, 1/4mile, 1/2mile, 100-0, 60-0, cornering, accelleration and braking Gs, and can calculate approximate power & torque with vehicle weight input

[Nj]

oo. that's sounds pretty groovy. does it plug into the same diagnostics plugs that you'd vagcom?

[mak2503]

I have read up on a few of these and it seems that you just plug it into the cigarette lighter and away you go.

Surely this can't be accurate. Seems good if it can work out the 0-60mph and bhp from the cigarette lighter.

measures G force by way of acceleration load inside i think? got one here that i've never really used, although i paid £25 delivered for mine brand new........

[Error404]

Its got an accellerometer inside it. measures constant and applied Gs. calculates acceleration times based on this, by reverting ms/s.
also with weight input can approximate WHP from f=ma calculus

no it doesn't read datra from the fag lighter - that just for power

it is reasonably accurate, within 0.1 sec of an average 0-60 of 3 runs measured against gate timing - cannot comment on WHP calculations as i never had a dyno to compare against, but figures were in the right region for what i expected.

Obviously its not going to be Aeronautical quality or accuracy, but its a fun little gadget, and makes you drive to work more entertaining

[Nj]

I quite fancy one but i'll see if I can put the engine in it first before I worry about my 0-60 times.

[Error404]

hahaha, why not hole the floorpan and go for it Flintstone style?!!

[Nj]

hehe. cos I wouldn't be quite as cool racing type-Rs off the line. I reckon i'd get a lower tax band though. If it's based on engine size i'd hope i'd get it for free.

Error 404 - I understand now. Thanks for clearing it up.

Just looking at your avatar and trying to figure out who it was. Then I remembered it had something to do with Racoons.
