No beep with redline, Wheel lug torques

Hi y'all!

Just got an awesome RX-8. I noticed I don't hear a "beep" when I approach redline. Could there be a blown fuse somewhere or maybe an on/off switch for it?

Also, anyone know the factory torque specs for the wheel lug nuts? I did a search and got a few different numbers. Some state 88 ft-lbs, some state that the factory increased it to 108 ft-lbs.
Also, I have Enkei RP03 wheels. Anyone know the torque specs for the valve stems?

Thanks in advance!

The beeper should be integrated into the gauge cluster. If a fuse is blown then it should affect the whole gauge cluster. Some also say the beep is very quiet, so you gotta really pay attention.

There was supposedly a TSB for early S1 that says to torque it to 104ish ft-lb to prevent a noise coming from the wheels.

I guess it's possible I can hear it. My exhaust is little on the loud side.
Does anyone know if there is a way to plug in an aftermarket buzzer, etc to make it louder?​​

I torqued my '8 wheels down to 100 ft.lbs. Never had a problem on street or track.
