Bananaman Posted August 5, 2003 Author Posted August 5, 2003 You won't need a beacon for 0-60. Just for lap times. How do you measure the 0-60 then? Quote
Mike dB Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 How do you measure the 0-60 then? A long tape measure? Quote
Blatman Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 It'll be a function embedded in the Stack. My SPA speedo has it too. You *just* set it to time a 0-60 run.....but as has been mentioned, if the speedo picks up on a driven wheel/driveshaft, you won't get an accurate time. If you had a beacon, you can do a 0-60 time, but you'd have to drive in a circle............. Quote
Westfieldman Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 If the unit data logs [but does not time 0-60 times like my stack] Does it not work if you pass the beacon very slowly then stop the data logging is running timming the stopped bit and looking for the wheel speed [from the front wheel is best] then after a few runs down load the data and then view the results and plot the time agaisnt the speed. Have only seen Peter C's logs for Cadwell close up but it would be close if it works like that you are only using the beacon to start the lap/run Paul. Quote
hilux Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I know it will do lap times with a beacon. If you have an average speed function and know the exact length of the circuit you therefore have a lap time Quote

Naughty Boy. What time do you recon that you can do Paul. Andy Quote
Jan Coombes Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 You have the same stack unit as mine, well good as. So you do not have a 0-60 tester. We have a AP22, that you can borrow (depending where you live and as long as you look after it) This just sit on the car some where, set it do as may 0-60 runs as you like then down load it to a PC have a look Here, we have been testing all sorts of cars.
