How much was your gtech m8. Are they any good/easy to set up?

 

[Jayc]

I purchased it along time ago. Very easy to setup, plugs into your cigarette lighter power source and you need to calibrate it.

Its measure acceration differently to the AP22, uses G-Forces instead.

AFAIK, the AP22 and the G-Tech both use accelerometers (measuing G-Force). Id like one of those GPS data loggers, but theyre several hundred quid :-(

Very impressive mate. Ive had a go with one of these, theyre very clever. But I was a bit sceptical about them on how acurate they are to be honest. If you look on your vid again, youll notice that it stops the time just before your speedo hits 100kmh. And speedos are normally out.

imo those g-tech things are absolute rubbish, better off spending 90 quid on a stop watch and buying beer with the change,

mate bought one and its complete rubbish i believe he is selling it if anyone wants it

 

[Graham Gooch]

the racelogic VBOX which autocar use is simply the b****cks, if you can afford it and you want to know what your car can do once and for all is to buy one of these, interesting thing is, it shows up acceleration as alot slower than these accelrometers

 

[Graham Gooch]

vtec abuser, yes you are right with the in accuracys as we found out where my mates 60 is on my roadangel with its gps speedo, and then looked at when the gtec was going off and it was well out, utter pants IMO

 

[Jayc]

Yep, Gtech can be abit off sometimes.. There are so many parameters and measuring G-forces to get a acceralation times isnt 100% perfect..

Jayc,

mate, you have to place the G-tech right in the centre of the car...best on the windscreen. and then test it. then it should be correct enough.

great time though!!

my best is 0-100km/hr 6.75 so far.

For its accuracy, if its 0.5 sec out, its still a bloody good time for a NA FWD car.
