There is an app that went free a few weeks ago in the iTunes app store that I downloaded but never played with it until today. It's pretty easy to use. Mount your iPod Touch or iPhone somewhere secure on the dash or in your field of vision. Start your car. While it is in neutral or park and not moving, start up the app and touch the start icon to calibrate. It takes 3 seconds. When the gauges show up, you can tap on them the change to a different gauge. It uses the accelerometer to measure g-forces graph out how your car is handling. If you have an iPhone, it uses the GPS to measure speed also and displays other calculations.
Highly recommended especially for those of you who autocross. It can show how smoothly you are taking those corners and where your traction limits are. There are probably other devices up there, but the price for this one is right. I got it for free and it might still be free, but the price was $2.99 before that. It won't break the bank. ... edit...I just noticed it's $.99 now. http://youtu.be/A7Ha8UKof-o - Advert video of Zilla -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |
