Just wondering if anyone uses a shift light or rpm gauge, I have a set of defi bf advanced gauges and noticed that they do a 60 or 80mm rpm gauge on eBay.
When on full boost Im mainly focused on the road just thinking that it would be quiet useful so I no I'm not near red lining, I'm guessing there is a peak warning function that would kick in when u set to say 6000 rpm for example. I no its just a little look down but would like some sort of warning then I can just drive without worrying unless I hear the warning

"Turn the key to right before the car starts (the gauges will illuminate), dont start the car.
turn the rev thingy once and you will hear a beep. Look to where it normally shows outside temp and it will give you a number, i.e. 60, 45, (meaning 6,000 rpm, 4,500 rpm respectivley) use the rev knobby thingy on the left and turn it to the right or the left to set the light (your rpm gauge will actually follow the number you are setting)..after 3 seconds or so of not touching it, it will set. Then it will go to the audible shift beep, and you have a choice of on or -- (off). I'm pretty sure this (the audible shift beep)"
I don't have this feature on my 03 spec c... I don't have the the light in the middle of dash
or the second switch on the clocks I really did get excited for a minuet
Thought I'd missed Somthing lol
I guess it's a addition for later models or for uk cars hmmm
Hi my 51plate bug and my o3 blob sti' sand the jdm widetrack all have them shift light **** you sure you ain't got a wrx clock in there any pics bud as the only speedos on newage without shift light are the wrx's from my experience have you any pics of your speedo?

It has the dccd set up in the cluster so guessing there not wrx clocks... Also thinking about it....it has sti stamped right in the middle lol so defo sti cluster just no rpm warning function

Any pics bud? Very curious to see what they look like now
Ok so is this another thing I'm missing as I have a motorsport version spec c .... The list is never ending lol as they would expect me to add a aftermarket.....
Just a thought... Cannot see there been any other reason
I find my ears do a wonderful job of avoiding the red line
My ears have done a great job up to press but I think i can be a lot more accurate with some sort of shift light or a rpm counter with warning function...
Leaning towards the defi taco as I've been shortchanged and not got one as standard but £170 isn't cheep any one got any other ideas before I get the defi
Dude get a pic up of the speedo thx curious to see it now as I ain't seen a sti speedo on newage widout shift light
Hi zany .... Lol ur intent on seeing the clocks tbh it's just having to put it on photobucket them minimise the size then upload it's a pita...
Pm me a email address and will emails some shots across To be honest they just look like standard sti clocks without the rev needle and I also don't have outside temp but as said send me a email and will get some pics across.
