"aide". I guess that would be someone sitting next to you who watches the tach and yells BEEP when it hits the redline? :D

I'd like the same thing. On one track day I glanced down at one point and realized I'd gone to 9500 rpm without realizing it. :eek:

When your windows are open, you're doing 80+ mph, the wind is blasting past you and you're wearing a helmet, it'd be nice if that beep was a LOT louder.

better yet, you should wire it up so instead of a beep it delivers an electrical shock through alligator clips attached to your nipples.

You want to hear it louder? Go into 2nd gear and drive the car around 57 - 60mph for a few seconds without shifting out of 2nd. You will hear it and will be glad it isn't any louder.

Unfortunately those are not track conditions.

Hmm i can also barely hear the beep over the engine at redline with my racing beat exhaust.

I might be changing it for a blue LED shift light or something.

ok so basically without doing anything to the car I can just put it in any gear and punch it till I hear a beep? I did'nt know this existed I was going to get a tach that changes color or something

I don't know about the volume but I know you can't rev past 9500 and also the beep becomes constant beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... till you let the throutle off.

its easier to hear if your sitting and free revving it comes in at around 9k
i'm gonna put a pencil light in just to be safe cutting fuel to a rotary is not happy maybe in the future i'll do a ignition system with a soft touch rev limiter

Just wire it up to the Amplifier in the dash. That's what I did. Now I can play it in Stereo.
