What the hell is a g metre

[rob]

seriously?

[Sebastian]

By using the onboard accelerometer gMeter can measure forward and lateral g forces and use this data to compute acceleration, velocity, distance traveled, and engine power. gMeter is setup to compute performance for timed distance (1/4 mile or 400 meter), timed speed (0-60 mph or 0-100 km/h), or timed braking (60-0 mph or 100-0 km/h), and offers a hands-free automatic start feature (based on vehicle motion). gMeter also offers a full manual mode.

gMeter can display data and compute performance in US or metric units, and data from performance runs (including raw data in time series form) can be saved and e-mailed right from the device. Graphs of speed, distance, power, and forward/lateral g can be displayed, and saved to the photo album for later use or syncing to a computer. The software has two calibration modes, and offers a correction to account for vehicle pitch under acceleration and deceleration. Engine power computations include inputs for drivetrain loss, rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, and weather conditions.

you should have the display on yhe right side of the boot.
others feel free to add

Wish id one in mine aswell rob

They arent to easy to come bye.!! Any chance of selling it on??

The FTOs only come with a basic G meter in the speedometer cluster, doesn't do any of the fancy stuff listed there.

Yeah...Apparently it flashes "orange" on normal cornering, but push it a bit harder and it flashes red. Try it, see if you can make it flash red.. Only the select few have ever seen the red..

The 'G' is for 'G Force' - like what the astronauts and F1 drivers have to endure in spades.

The FTO comes with a basic version as standard.

Come on guys put him out of his misery.

And all you p**s takers will be surprised to know that the FTO is actually fitted with a "G Meter". Part of the SRS (Air bag system). Can be seen by in the SRS section and the electrical drawings

No Comment!

Ok ok, Rob, there's no G-Metre, it's a pis5 take that we do to anyone who asks about the little orange light that flashes up in the top corner of the dash, this is just a warning light to let you know that your window washer fluid is running low!!! Just add water!

Haha very gud ye got me hook line and sinker!

You're not the first mate!!!
