Mount for OFT on the track?
 

Wondering if any one has ideas for a mount to monitor vitals on the track.

Most of the track events I know are fairly restrictive when it comes to items mounted on the car while on track.

I know the iMagnet mount is fairly popular but I'm not sure of the strength of it at the track.

I already plan on getting a right angle OBD II adapter and taping it securely.

I'm using the iMagnet mount and it's very sturdy. I can't imagine it coming loose from driving on the road course.

generic adjustable tablet holder with suction cup. i got one of the sloted 3m adhesive bases that contour to the dash and have a flat circular spot for the suction cup. rock solid for months. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps7cpobag1.jpg

3M tape or somthing like da

@troek how are you getting oil pressure to display? Can't get it on mine.

That's oil temp, not oil pressure :)

Also, we are working on the next round of updates for the you guys. We are actually developing it on the GT86 OFT so you guys will get it first. I think you'll love it!

i want some magical extra jdm hp that no one else has access to. i read about it all the time, i know its real, don't hold out on me.

How long have you had your imagnet? I've read reviews that it doesnt work quite as well after a few weeks or a couple months.

Import a couple of drums of E85 secret HP juice not available in Japan :D

i reeled in and passed a cayman on the strait at fuji today, so something must be working! im pretty sure it was 2.7L (240hp) model though, as moments later a new model blew my doors off lol.

Or mix it himself? Ethanol shouldn't be hard to get? @troek

Make ethanol in your bathtub.
?????
Profit!

I've had my iMagnet for more than half a year...i can't imagine you'll have any issues at all at the track with the OFT given its weight.

Yup worked perfect at the track!

I went ahead and ordered an OBD extiension, iMagnet and some cheapo clip type phone holder. I was going to use the clip type holder to hold my iPhone for harry's lap timer recording but found it vibrated too much. Instead I used it to hold the OFT along with the OBD extension and it works perfectly. Haven't had a connection problem mid-drive or mid-log yet. Although the OFT had trouble connecting to ECU upon start up several times. When I go and disconnect and reconnect the OBD connector it usually clears up.

Now the question is if this iMagnet will give me vibration free video recordings with my iPhone cam and Harry's Timer..

Cheapo clip type phone holder (vibrates a bit, and articulation is limited, but suction is excellent):

Have a pic with the OFT mounted to the cheapo one?

i made a little hook for the center vent

3M velcro

That right angle extension is a must have it seems.

Not really for AT, only to get the extra length.

The standard 180* plug puts too much stress on the connection IMHO causing connection problems after some usage.

So just to confirm, is OFT safe with using a magnetic mount?

I'm planning to use a Logitech magnetic mount and would like to be sure.

Thx

@Shiv@Openflash any idea if there's anything that could be demagnetised in the OFT? I'm also keen to use a magnetic mount and would hate to destroy my tablet

i have asked Shiv via PM and he said magnetic mount is fine with OFT.

Cool thanks for the reply, i'm sure someone would have posted already if they bricked it.

i have got a Logitech +Trip now and it seems to be fine.

Velcro - Stood up to tracking g forces just fine.

Where can I get an OBD II right angle adapter ?
