quite impressed with the old girl,with only two runs i cracked 0 -60 in 6.54 and quarter mile in 15.1 @98


not bad for 99k miles

[wavy]

iv heard of these things
do they just plug in the cig lighter ? or do you have to wire them in

not bad times btw

[16v_russ]

yea just plug in the cig lighter and light it up straight,supposed 2 be quite accurate but in all honesty i just use it for a bit of fun,good for comparing mods etc

[DaveH]

Where do you get them from?

[donsrno1]

yeah they are quite good, and very accurate as long as you use it on a flat bit of ground. Mine is broken though :(

G meters are good fun. Managed 6.8 to 60 and I think it was 15.6 1/4mile in my old 106 gti. I'll be having a go with one in my Williams soon.

got mine off ebay,def worth the 19 quid i payed 4 me new one

[Scougar]

Only one listed on ebay at any decent price is the old Gtech Pro (discontinued) and that's £49 dollars and located in california

Will try and get one when in the states for my wedding in May Should hopefully be below £150 for the Gtech Pro RR (best version I know of) and below £90 for the Gtech Pro SS.

Would be nice to get some performance figures.

There quite good things, i was suprised how accurate they are when i used mine at crail and it got around the same times as there timing equipment. Cant beat seeing what lateral G you can get at round abouts .

[Scougar]

Would have recommended the 'drift box', but that's a bit hard to recommend for FWD cars :(

Might be worthwhile finding out who in each area (north west/ south west etc) has gtech devices so can organise some club days where everyone can have a go? (members only of course - (i'm not a member yet, but think it might be a good idea))
