A New Project Challenge for you - rev limit warning light

[Monty]

I've been out of action with a virus this week so I haven't even looked at it yet. We'll see what we can do though.

Thats no excuse, pull your finger out Only joking mate, no rush just looking forward to using one on track Any Ideas on cost for one of your little gadgets?

My dials are ready and waiting!

Having used shift lights in a racecar before, I assume you want the red shift light to come on more like 6800. Not at redline.

[GeoffSmith]

The cheapskate version with one LED will be set just below 7000 and will have a slight adjustment of ~500RPM as you suggest. The 10 LED display that Nige wants will ramp up from 3000RPM (when the turbo kicks in) up to 7000RPM.

[jecuk]

Depends what they are for I suppose but on track typically you would only really want 5 LEDs from say 5800 - 6800. Goal being to avoid hitting the rev limiter without having to look at the dash or change outside the ideal part of the power curve.

The cheapskate version with one LED...

That will be me then.

Yes just under 7000 please!

Cheers,

Y'all

It isn't Elan, despite Lockwoods claims!

[GeoffSmith]

Phil, would it help if I sent you a wired up LED so you can fix it in? I could put a plug on the other end so you would just have to plug it into the box of tricks when it arrives.

[surfboardfiller]

Yes Please!

[GeoffSmith]

Now, what colour did you want?

I can't remember what it was called 'Working Girl Red' should do it for me.

I have overcome the major problem (I think) and will be bringing the prototypes to Castle Combe tomorrow.

[Nige]

I'll bring one of my dash top units then .

How did the testing go Geof

[GeoffSmith]

Good - I've done the final mods and tried both prototypes out and ........ they work a treat!

[Gee0]

MMM sounds interesting,
I have liked the idea of these, every since I drove a Honda CRX in the US in oh 1993 whch had one. Just a gimmic for me as I wont be tracking anytime soon (if Ever )


HOW easy are they to fit and how many pennys are they?
