RPM warning buzzer

Anyone know if it´s possible to increase the volume on the little buzzer beeping when you hit the 9000 rpm? I would like it to be slightly louder so if anyone knows how to do it, pleae let me know.

(YEAH! I must be the only idiot on earth that wants this mod...

Arrow Circuit gurus.....

Maybe one of the forums "circuit gurus" can take a feed off the little buzzer to a relay, then you could run anything - lights, beeper, siren, whatever.

I tried but it is powered all the time, and grounded to beep, so I got confused and put the whole thing back together!

Replacing it with an LED is a good idea tho

Arrow Door beeper....

If the door beeper bugs you, just disable it - Gomez did the DIY (IIRC) - he's my all time bestest Hero!

I think they should have the actual red portions of the redline light up when your needle moves in it. That would be pretty cool.

I just bought my 8 and I haven't hit the buzzer yet because I am following proper break in. When do you guys think it's ok to hit 9000.

Yeah, if I'm listening to the radio loud there have been occasions I haven't heard the buzzer. Something louder or that lit up would be nice.

maybe if you're revving the engine out you should be paying attention to what you're doing, just an idea ...

A louder buzzer when pushing hard would be easier to recognize allowing more focus on other aspects of driving.

I want to install a Red 3mm LED to the buzzer on the back of the Instrument Cluster.
(it'll light up when I reach the beep)
I've done a search and can't find any pix on how to remove it.

Anyone care to help?

There is a description:
1. Remove #3 screws that hold the steering shroud.
2. Remove #2 screws that hold the instrument cluster (I'm not sure where these little buggers are?!?).
3. YANK the crap out of it and it "should" come loose....

I'll post a DIY if I can figure this out.

Man... getting the instrument cluster out is the easy part.

1. Remove #3 screws that hold the steering shroud. (You see these when lying on you back looking up at the steeringwheel)
2. Remove #2 screws that hold the instrument cluster (You´ll see these as well once you´ve done #1 above)
3. YANK the crap out of it and it "should" come loose.... (YEAH it should.
