Stack Dash

[Swiper the Fox]

ECU doesnt tell you corner speeds, braking Gs, lap times. People often see an in car vid of me driving and suggest i use the wrong gears. Most common is that i stay in 3rd for slow 90deg corners, 4th for turn 1 at Sandown etc. I know its quicker as i can see from my corner speeds and lap times that its quicker, even though it doesnt feel quicker as the engine isnt buzzings its head off. You can tell where you are out braking yourself and affecting your exit speeds for corners etc. They are handy at helping you improve your driving which ECU logging doesnt tell you

corner speeds, braking G's, lap times ???

what the hell are you talking about?

[Angus Smart]

your nokia n95 8gb will do all that / any ohone with race chrono

lap times, sector times, g forces, also extra software to overlay all that data onto your home made videos

I guess the theory behind them again is keeping it as simple as possible in a compact unit rather than messing around with multiple units.

Here's some of the Stack loggers perks: http://www.stackltd.com/video.html

I guess it just depends on what you want, and what it's worth to you.

The dash can read all that..It can even plot out the track your racing on. I'm pretty sure it comes as a 3D image on your laptop *but dont quote me on that* I was getting told alot of info at the time ..This is why I want one so bad there flippin awesome!

For someone that wants to become a better driver all these features the Mychron and MXL dash offer are a massive help..

I think he was joking Jess

Drag racers don't know what those bendy bits are for

Awwwww

I need emcons to know when you guys are serious or not

I reckon a drag racer would be reading heaps of data like temperature input for exhaust gas, cylinder head or water sensors. there engines are under loads more stress and would be cool to read all that ...just sayin

I have been compiling a list of links to dash systems and GPS data systems that may be of interest to you all.

Please feel free to add to this.

cool guys, thats the answers i was looking for. Phunkey, at the end of the day buy what turns you on.

so fair to say that it might have more benefit for the amature than pro.

Some of the high end options has information in them such as suspension deflection etc, so I guess they're useful for people at all levels. It just depends what you want to unlock out of it I guess.

I have recently purchased the Race Technologhy Dash 2 after owning the DL1 data logger unit for some time, with some help of dumhead becasue i don't have the time ATM he is installing it into the car and wiring the associated sensors.

The thing i liked about the RT package is that you can log anything you want and with the display you can display split and running lap times as well as any sensor data. Along with this you can add in the video package and review everything with all the logged data, it uses a 20hz GPS sensor and is accurate within 1m and you can get it accurate to within 0.1m by running another program that uses the data from other sat's.

The dash is really easy to read and has some very bright LED's that are adjustable, it also has the indicators lights, park brake, oddometer that is non resetable as well as alternator and warning lights so is completly street legal if needed.

Great little units.
