Torqueman Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 No TBH....hopefully on October will be on a bigger track and will have more data if i manage to have a racelogic(VBOX) in my hands. A friend of mine did find this: http://www.qstarz.com/ Its cheaper than the Racelogic but if it is as good as the V-box I dont know. It looks neater thougt. By the way, I have a T5 gearbox with gerboxman gearkit (quaife?) on its way. Hopfully the better gear ratios will make the car perform better.

Early Santa 4 u !!!!!! great news!!!!! ........ so no stock T5 ratios in it Santa is a little bit early... I went for the wide gearkit wich have more rev drop between gears, and 0,8 fift wich is fine when crusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) A friend of mine did find this: http://www.qstarz.com/ Its cheaper than the Racelogic but if it is as good as the V-box I dont know. It looks neater thougt. I have a demo model of the QStarz Lt-Q6000 that you linked to. We tested it on Tom's (Yellowss) seven at the NJMP Sevens Track Days in June. Took a few sessions to get it to work reliably. Good data but not easy to use or analyze. There is a much better alternative... I use the Racechrono Touchscreen Pro: http://mh-motorsports.com/lap_timers.shtml I can mount the GPS and separate touchscreen anywhere. It is easy to set up a brand new track for the first time and it works each time. I find I can use the touchscreen with my driving gloves on. Battery life is excellent although I do not use the LiveTimer feature which I bet uses up the batteries quicker. Easy to export to a CSV spreadsheet file and then overlay the data onto video with RaceRender. Much easier to set up and use than than the QStarz and the larger screen makes viewing data much easier. QStarz wrote the software for the Racechrono so it feels the same to use as their own LT-Q6000 unit and does pretty much the same thing. The difference is the Racechrono having a large touchscreen makes it far easier to use and analyze. The difference to the Vbox is really size. The Vbox is large and bulky. I tested one last year in the UK. It does all the same stuff as the QStarz and Racechrono. The Racehrono is two pieces - a GPS sized screen unit and a separate small GPS logger that bluetooths to the screen unit. The screen unit can be hidden discreetly anywhere leaving only the GPS logger exposed. You can see your data easily at the track on a Racechrono and do not need to plot it in a computer like the Vbox. Vbox is easier to use than the QStarz but not as easy as the Racechrono. I can email (offline) CSV export sample data files if you want to get a sense of the data being recorded by both the QStarz and the Racechrono.

Torqueman Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 At least you can cruise.....am illegal as i cant be on the streets as its a race car... So winter time it will be done?

Anyway a lot of people usses the v-box here and a couple of automagazines uses them for performance testing, so they woork well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torqueman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Cable hith HELIX combo 6 padle,does good so far.u are on hydro right? Yepp, was thinking if there is some hydralics that fits inside the bellhousing. Otherwise its all back to the drawing bord and make a new adapter for the cluch cylinder.
