What is out there that can fit in car to measure acceleration times etc. I know there is the racelogic kit but don't really want to spend £400
Suggestions please

There must be an app you put on your phone?

Torque Pro does it.
It's not totally accurate of course. You'd probably get to about 65mph by the time the OBD2 registers 60mph.

There's the blitz iD power meter which are supposedly ok.
Don't think you can buy them new, but they show up from time to time on eBay etc

It basically says that most phone apps are inaccurate due to GPS receiver.
It recommends some software and an upgraded external GPS.
Far cheaper than a vbox.

I use a app for my iPhone call QMT quarter mile time.
I am sure it's not most accurate but for a free app I would not say it's million miles away.

On my naturally aspirated car I get 7sec flat with markiii air intake, K&N panel filter and custom exhaust.
On my turbo'd 2 I can get 4.9seconds.

Sorry to burst the bubble... but take it from someone who did drag racing for quite a few years:

For a quarter mile??  A top Alcohol Dragster would struggle to do a 4.9

It's not a 'million miles' away, it's light years.

A street Ferrari won't do any better than 13 secs.

I doubt that my Rocket Car could get into the fours and that's got 3,000 lbs thrust.

He is talking 0-60.
I can see how you would think otherwise from the name of the app he is using.

Sorry I should have explained.

The times I put up earlier were for a 0-60mph time.

Cool we will sort that out.
Wonder if Steve or Chris would be interested.
Would be great to get some accurate figures.
Need a long quiet road.

If only there was a place one could go, and get accurate measurement of speed and time over an accurately measured distance, to help quantify the real world performance of a car.

Very funny.
North Weald is closest but they only have about 3 dates a year.
Santa Pod or Shakespeare Raceway are a bit of a long haul for a south London boy.
Plus it costs nothing if somebody else has forked out for the Vbox.  s;) ;) s;)

Yeah. It is a shame about North weald. I heard a rumour that the council/locals want to close it completely.
But hey, santa pod is handy for me!

They built flats or something close to the airfield.
They want no car related activities there at all.
Car limits has to impose stupid noise limits and then you are deafened by some Cessna taking off.
Why move next to an air field that's been there since WW2 and then moan about noise.
You've got me started again.
Rant rant rant.

Pod is a bit far for me tbh.
2hours at least.
I would only want to do a few runs anyway.
Wouldn't want to fry my box.

Been out all day but managed to do one run with it. Crap start by me, clutch slipping in first. Car with headcase now for the week for new fuel pump and other bits to be done

Faster than a Porsche 996 Carrera to 100 or a Lotus Evora.
Bang on the same times as an Audi TTS.
None to shabby.
Sure you'd be much quicker if you were a motoring journalist and it wasn't your car.

Anyone know of a "venue" that a meet up could take place at for some timed sessions?
