Default Been messing around with a G-Force monitor today

While everyone else went to Lightwater i was messing around with a G-force monitor and was well impressed.

Had 3 goes at 0-60 times and three goes at horse power rating.

The average figures were 0-60 in 5.2s and 259 bhp at the wheels.

You'll recognise the car as Cossie Mike's old car and its stage 3 so the figures are pretty close.

The monitor itself is supposed to be accurate to within a few horse power.

Also managed to get a few pics out in the sun

Theyre supposed to be pretty accurate. You get the vehicle weight in kgs from the vin plate then convert it to lbs and deduct 180 lbs for each empty seat. Its my mates, he only paid £30.00 for it.
