G'day everyone,
Just an update that I now stock the PerformanceBox data loggers by Racelogic. These are a great little unit that performs excellent for it's price. It's price is $850.
PerformanceBox contains all the GPS lap timing & metering functionality for anybody wanting to accurately measure vehicle or driver performance, but without the Yaw Metering which measures Oversteer (drift).

How Does Performance Box Work?
Housed inside the PerformanceBox is a high performance 10Hz GPS engine coupled with sophisticated motion sensors. Speed, Postion, and Acceleration are measured 10 times a second.
PerformanceBox is equipped with an MMC/SD Flash memory card socket. This allows 10Hz logging of Time, Distance, Speed, Position, Lap Times, Split Times.
Data logged to the MMC flash card can be analysed in detail using the PC software provided. For convenience, the PerformanceBox can be connected to the USB port of a PC compatible computer to download information stored on the memory card.
Performance meter features
* Speed kmh or mph
* Distance metres or feet
* 4 accel ranges - 2 adjustable
* 2 decel ranges - 2 adjustable
* 4 distance ranges (1/4 mile etc)
* 1 foot rollout option
* Peak g-force
* Top speed
* Average speed
* SD card logging
PerformanceBox As A Data Logger
For drivers keen to improve their laptimes and get valuable feedback on technique, PerformanceBox includes a sophisticated, fully functioning Data-logging package. Dedicated data-loggers with similar features normally cost more than the PerformanceBox itself, so the inclusion of this feature is worth the purchase price alone!
To use the Data-logging, simply insert the 64Mbyte SD card (which gives up to 53 hours of logging) and drive. Once you have finished the test, either plug the PerformanceBox into a PC via the USB cable provided, or remove the SD card and place it in a suitable reader.
Want to get that Professional video footage with overlaid dash display?
By using a GoPro camera and a PerformanceBox at the same time, a great simple to use software program is Trackvision. http://www.trackvision.net/
This overlays the performance data over your footage, giving you exactly the feedback you need for improving those lap times, or just showing your mates.
