Gtech pro delivered today.

[Andyvalver]

Went out as soon as i got it to test out the new toy.
It seems pretty accurate to be honest. Went to the flatest 1/4mile road i know to give it a blast. I got...

1st proper run =
0-60...7.56
1/4mile....16.04 at 89.00mph

2nd run =
0-60...7.71
1/4mile....16.22 at 89.8mph

Did about 5 runs but never wrote all the times down.These were about the best two. Too much salt on the bloody road so i couldnt get the launch i needed in 1st cuz of wheelspin.

What do ya all reckon. I like like it

 

[RobFenn]

You like it because you got good figures?

 

[_Tom]

Hmm i want one of these!

Where did you get it from mate and what did it cost you?

 

[Andyvalver]

The figures are pretty standard for a valver mate.

I got it from http://www.saxforte.com/data/gtechpro/gtech_home/gtech_home.htmlhttp://www.saxforte.com/data/gtechpro/gtech_home/gtech_home.html

It cost me about £30 from USA. There about £55 on ebay and £125 at k-tech

 

[_Tom]

Hmm did you just pay the $73 yeah? No hidden charges?

Also how long did it take to come?

Sorry bout the questions! lol

 

[Andyvalver]

I payed $52.60 all in. The guy said that there is sometimes a customs charge. I didnt get one though cuz they never checked it. Think you can claim that back anyway. Mine took 5 days and the guy said thats the quickest delivery hes ever had to the uk. Normall 6 days to 2 weeks, maximum of 6 weeks

 

[_Tom]

Might order one now then!

 

[homerjay]

i got the Gtech Pro SS, same thing but graphical display, and shows the power graphs.

they are very accurate, ive not tested my V6 yet, but ive tested my mates revod TDi golf, and a coupe 20V turbo, and both came out as they should.

[Andyvalver]

Nice. I saw them. Im guessin there more expensive though. Agreed, they are quite accurate.

 

[chip16v]

how do you do the 0-60 test on these? mine was delivered when my car was off the road and i lost the instructions. can only work out how to do the 1/4 mile test

 

[CocoPops]

the same way, but you stop when it hits 60mph.

Otherwise it goes up to the 1/4 result etc

 

[chip16v]

what do you mean brake?

 

[CocoPops]

yeah, when you hit 70 or so.

 

[chip16v]

nice one

 

[BenR]

its a simple technology and there is nothing technically incorrect about the results, if they are setup correctly, no probs.

THe GPS ones are rather nice too.

 

[Dan_mk1]

Tom! dont use this as an excuse! your still getting your arse down pod next year!

And Andy, change your sig till its proven at an actual 1/4 eh!?

 

[JayR]

Not bad times there mate!!!

1/4mile = 15.91 at 89.3mph

2nd run =
0-60 = 7.21
