Popular Post maddmaxx 29,558 Posted March 1 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 1 A very small gps device that measures speed and acceleration over a specified distance. Then it puts the results on your phone in graphical format. This, of course, is just instrumentation for my race cars. I would never use it for simulated 1/4 mile runs in my full sized car. 5 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

maddmaxx 29,558 Posted March 1 Author Share #8 Posted March 1 It's probably not good for lap times but it is good for speed and acceleration curves over a specified distance by GPS. That's more or less straight line because it bases the distance on where you start and what it's set for. Lap times will end at the start point and that's not a distance from start. Great for drag racing though. Link to post Share on other sites
12string 3,945 Posted March 1 Share #9 Posted March 1 I have a OBDII to bluetooth dongle and an app on my phone. It uses the phone GPS for accelleration (including lateral). And tells me everything the computer knows. I had to remove my instrument cluster for a week, I just set up the phone as my dashboard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
maddmaxx 29,558 Posted March 2 Author Share #10 Posted March 2 Well, I spent the day selling old race car parts, motors etc as I am all in on the drag racing aspect now. It fits my current lifestyle as many weekdays I'm out making test and tuneup runs locally by myself. I sold off enough old stuff to pay for the onboard drag race timer (et and speed for 132 ft) mentioned above and enough left over to buy this fully adjustable wheelie bar, one of the final tuning aids to set up the outlaw street eliminator. This can be adjusted so one wheel touches down slightly before the other if some steering correction is necessary leaving the starting line. Next up will be testing a traction compound for one of the members of my racing club who wants to get into selling it. I need some sunny days over 50 deg now. The first big race around here is in April in Fall River MA. Link to post Share on other sites

Can you mount it under the body? I'm guessing they mounted it on the car so you can see the device. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing they mounted it on the car so you can see the device. Inside the car on the chassis. The bodies are only .040 lexan and don't seem to bother the signal. There's nothing to actually see on the device. It downloads the info to an app on your phone later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
maddmaxx 29,558 Posted March 2 Author Share #16 Posted March 2 The data comes out looking like this. The waves in the lines are due to the sampling rate of the device. My throttle system for example samples 10 times per second. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
