Cheers Karl, it'll be good to see you, however unfortunately the weather definately isn't on our side lol
Yup, certainly was our Ring trip in Sept 2005 :eek:
Been out for a bit of play tonight the the performance box, and my maximum longitudinal acceleration, was 0.94G and deceleration was 0.71G bearing in mind I was on wet public roads I have nothing to compare it to but sounds alright lol
I do have the lateral acceleration information but I've not figured out how to interpret that yet. Looking forward to seeing some figures from Donington :)
A graph, just because :D
SPEED & LONGITUDINAL ACCELERATION vs TIME

Christ, you hit 52mph in first!? I'm guessing that not even flatout?
Impressive kit none the less :cool:
nah, not flat out, as it was raining at the time, so the wheels we spinning :( and beacuse its GPS based, its strictly on the cars movements. you can tell as it took me nearly 10 seconds to get there lol
1st gear should travel to 64mph with full traction and some slicks so it doesn't brake traction in the dry :thumb:
So my 0-60mph speed won't be fantastic due to the long first, but then it'll help not having to change gear to get there... swings & roundabouts really :)
nice man 50 odd in first i like the sounds of that lolQuote:

Bad news is that when I rolled up to the place, I had to drive up a kerb head on as a car was in the way of the flat piece, and I walloped my manifold as that got to the kerb before my wheels did... doh!
Mahoooosive dent in one of my primaries on my manifold which highly annoyed me, so I'll cut a section out and re-weld a part of tubular over it :(
Not before Donny tho, I'll do that when I don't have any time limits lol
Is that a racelogic perf box? Nice bit of kit! The 0.94g accel sounds optimistic to me!
I tried some quick starts in my nova with the long first and had a lot of clutch slip, I was probably not giving it enough revs/sharp enough drop of the clutch though.
have fun mate.
If you have time and can be bothered to remove the manifold from the car, a neater solution may be to drill a whole from behind the dent and use a punch to knock the dent out, then just plug weld the little hole.Quote:

Have a look on their site for the accuracy information ;)
