Cheap?!?!?, You can get one that does more and costs less at most auto stores.

Neat, most certainly, now if it were cheap I'd be up for givin it a try.

If you want a cheap, fun G-meter than just get a G-Whiz from MINI!

I keep mine on my dash all the time.

Hey! You can't order the G-Whiz or any other MotorMate product anymore! Anyone know where you can pick up any of the MotorMate products, or are us new initiates our of luck?

I know they gave a bunch of the moto go-grips to the GP owners, so I'd guess MINI has a stock of them. Try the contact form in mini's web site, I've used that to get other things they don't offer anymore.

How would one look this up for sale online? "g-meter" gives me 100 links to the same DIY site, but i'm lazy and would rather just buy one a bit smaller than the one shown. (Anyone interested in making/selling me one?) *wink*

Check out..

the Escort GT1, I think... it's about $200. The G-Tech is more...

Who's gonna hack the CAN bus to get the info from the acclerometers used for the DSC system?

Here is my super cheap G-Meter. When my coffee spills, I know I am pulling too many Gs!
