st3ph3n Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 What you want is one of these cal - - Blitz R-Vit. Plugs into the OBDII port underneat the dash and reads out just about everything. I have mine set on "In-MF" usually, on the "elipse meter", which works as a boost gauge, and also displays a tempreature I told it to. Quick press of up and down takes me to either the needle meter, bar graph, three fold monitor or six fold monitor. All of the readouts are assignable so on your three graphical displays you can measure anything you want. They also have a space for the peak value of whatever you are monitoring, and a simple text read out of another value. The three fold and six fold monitors display the value of 3 and 6 different readouts of your chosing. I like it, and it's quite a bit more discrete than 3 or 4 gauges. I picked mine up off ebay, from this fellow - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Jdm-Inxs-Power-an...genameZl2QQtZkm - £200 inc postage I paid

st3ph3n Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Mmmmm. Yes Toys. You can probably see top left of the picture is a Classic Road Angel - half price at halfords on boxing day - and out of shot is the mount for a G-Tech Pro RR. That's the version with PC connection and full G-logging etc. which will definetley be getting a good work out at the track day. Then hopefully if my mate can work his camera alright we can do some nice editing with in-car footage of a lap complete with replayed telemetry from the G-Tech. MUAHAHAH. G-Tech was bought of ebay from a nice person in America. £150 inc. postage IIRC. Retails at £230+ in the UK. I of course have no real legitimate use for it other than satisfying my need for a ridiculous number of displays and gadgets in the car. And producing graphs like this:

I like my analogue dials at the end of the day Have seen Jools's STi defi's and they gave me a semi when he turned the ignitions ! Cal p.s what happened to yer 0-60 time above - you got a Sport engine in there
st3ph3n Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I was short shifting. That's my excuse and I'm sticking too it. The car was only about 4 days past the 1000 mile service, so I really didn't want to rag it too hard. I didn't launch aggressively either. I think I'll keep wheeling out these excuses for the next few weeks to explain my lack of pace on the track day.
