I got myself a Gtech Performance Timer last week so as soon as I get my new tires on i'm going to test the 0-60, 1/4 mile and BHP at the wheel figures as it stands now then i'm going to fit the Dragon Box and try again.

Had a little play with the box on the way home (as i couldn't wait)

Managed to get a 0-60 of 8.4 seconds in the damp

Didn't do a 1/4 mile as it started ****ing it down but i'm pretty happy with the 0-60 for the standard car.

How much was this and how does it work mate?

i had one of these when i had my clio 172 and they are very accurate and highly recommended a little bit fidley to set up initally but well worth it in my opinion!!!

How do they work?

Just been on the website, how on earth do they measure horse power and touque though the cig lighter?!!

hey up mate if i remember correctly it measures ge force to create your bhp figure my friend had his rolling roaded and the bhp was out by about 3bhp so it makes them very accurate really good piece of kit can get them from ebay for about 25 plus delivery (well thats what i paid anyway ha ha) alot more money from demon tweeks

I found this one it is £145!

But looks like a good model

Mines an older one but I got it for £20 delivered!

It works on atmosphere iirc

You set it up on the windscreen, it then feels the g's you pull forward.

Your car also has an electronic pulse that can be felt through the cig lighter, the faster you go the faster the pulse etc (like running fast :lol: ) so it uses those. You do have to input some stuff like the cars weight etc but a quick google search tells you the kerb weight is 1380kg or something so you just add on a typical passenger weight (advised in the booklet) then go for it!

VERY clever bit of kit, I had one before but sold it when I got skint :( so always wanted another.

Joel - we could meet up and i'll let you have a go

:lol: Good point!

Still sat in the boot!

My tyres haven't come

Kicked off so i'm getting money off but it still doesn't make it any better!!

Might stick it on anyway - i'm fed up of waiting now!

Yeah... just wheelspin everywhere for a few days

Apparently it take your 0-60 times and the weight of your car and works it out that way. That what iv just read. Is that right?

Yeah its the 1st thing you do.

You select the Acceleration menu, choose 0-60, enter the weight of the vehicle inc passenger(s), it goes 3...2...1...GO and any time after that you can set off and it times you.

You can do a combined run doing 0-60 then 1/4 mile if you carry on foot to floor.

Once done it cycles through the results on screen.

Sounds good but surely it would come up with different BHP/Torque reading depending on how fast you can get your 0-60 time?
