How can it work just by pluggin into one cigarette lighter? Doesnt make sense Does any one have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I've no idea how it works, but fast ford magazine did a feature on them a while ago and they were strangely accurate Well the 0-60 timing etc was good - not too sure about the BHP calculation though.

GeordieSteve Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 You input the weight of the car etc. and it does lots of fancy calculations. They DO work. I've just sold about 30 of these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 that must be a scam! BHP and MPH from your cigarette lighter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolance Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 ive got one ,,, id say there accurate 0-60 and 1/4mile time,,,we tried it only 4 different cars all giving very close readings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damouk Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Ok, i think he is just (almost as we speak) gonna buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 that must be a scam! BHP and MPH from your cigarette lighter! I used to have the more expensive Competition version and IT DOES WORK They actually have G-sensors and meters, so when your car accelerates it can calculate the acceleration and then based on the weight that you have inputted the HP and Torque figures of the car. very handy for 1/4 mile, 0-60 stints etc too. plus the competition model also draws up a nice graph of your power and torque curves (similar to a dyno) Not 100% accurate, but good enough. Forgot to mention, using the electric current from the cigarette lighter, it also senses the RPM of your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dane_stone Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I had one in my FTO when I went down santa pod the g-tec was about .08 out from the timing slip which I think is realy good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Steve can you enter weight etc on these little ones?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yep. You do it by tilting it backward for more weight and foreward for less. Still haven't tried mine yet but I will do very soon. Be able to match it up with my RR results next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Both CJ and myself have the SS spec version of the unit, and I have directly compared it the rolling road and needless to say it is fairly accurate.. The figures where within 10%, bear in mind we were estimating the car weight. I've tried mine on 4 different cars and it seems fairly accurate...
