1 4 Mile Estimator?

[yogibear]

ok going back awhile ago one my mates had this thing that looked like a gps (stuck on the window of your car and pluged in too your ciga lighter) and it gave you rought 1/4 mile times and 0 - 100 kms and a few other things , they where not 100% but close enough.

my question is WTF is it called i cant think of the name of it and where can you buy them?

thanks

if anyone has a Nokia then go onto OVI Store and there is one on there that you can download onto the phone.

It is called RACECHROMO and it was a free download.

it does 1/4 mile, 1000metres, 1 mile, 0-60mph, 0-100kph,0-200kph ( now that would be interesting )80-120kph plus a few more.

Plus it does laptiming as well.

Cool app.

G-Tech Pro SS or RR sounds like it...you can buy them off eBay for a couple hundred these days.

Nothing beats the original, superseded LED G-Tech though...I used to sell them for $100 each. They were very small and surprisingly accurate as long as you kept your end of the bargain when it came to choosing a flat road.

Get an Apexi RSM

But this will do what you want, also comes in blue..

i wonder how accurate these are

[VB-]

all these things that i have found to be horribly innaccurate. i've mentioned it on here before about the iphone one. i was steering my mates VL, GT35R, nistune, 700cc injectors etc, had the thing flat out for over 20sec before the iphone decided we had completed a 1/4 mile

find a quiet road, measure out 400m, do runs with a stop watch. most people dont realise just how close you can get it yourself, think about it, if you mark two clear lines on the road, you should be able to hit the button to start/stop within a tenth or so of where you should be...

[Granthem]

I dunno about the iphone app etc, but many people have tested RSM's and found them to be within a tenth or so of their times on the strip.

Considering it intercepts your computers speed and revs and uses a g sensor to correct, it should be fairly reliable.

exactly. the only ways it will give false readings is from slightly different tyre sizes and if you get wheelspin as it will count that as distance travelled.

It even has a setting the enter your tire sizes to make it accurate again And I think the g sensor stops it from counting distance when you are doing xxkm/h but not pulling the g's to match
