Default Vehicle settings for a Dyno app?

I got the Dinodyno app for my Android phone the other day, to keep it as accurate as possible, what settings would people recommend for a normal (i.e no weight saving or aero mods) STI 8 ?

Mass : ????kg + my weight
Frontal Area : ?.? sq m?
Coefficient of Drag : ?.??
Drivetrain Loss : ??

Anyone successfully using a Dyno app on a Android?

Any help greatly appreciated

There is aDyno as well. Not tried either yet. Will download later. I have a Gtech Pro RR I can compare the results of the phone app ones with.

Downloaded and installed DiniDyno and aDyno, they're both free apps. Of the 2 I think aDyno is miles ahead feature wise. Not tried it in the car yet as you need to have a secure mount for the phone, but to do a dyno run you need to enter the pitch and roll angle characteristics, weight of car, weight of yourself and fuel etc, drive train losses, rolling resistance, drag coefficient, frontal area, the engine speed range for the dyno run and the minimum/maximum road speeds for that range. There is also an under development section that currently has something to do with the phones GPS and google maps with a lap timer function which looks interesting, as well as a function that looks like it uses the phones camera. I need a good mount for my phone before I can do much with it. There is a website for it: www.adyno.net

As for my G-Tech, I've not used it in ages and when I did it was purely for quarter mile times. Can't remember what settings I have in it, you can't add as much as the aDyno app though.

Edit: Found some Subaru data www.mayfco.com/subaru.htm
