5500 for me. Not getting much more out of the engine after that as peak torque is before it plus looks after the engine more

How do you set them as mine doesn't light up?

Twist the little pin that comes out the clocks when stationary you will see the digital clock start to count up through the rpm stop where you want it. I never had mine set tbh

chopperman

Pointless gimmick imo. If your giving it the beans you should be looking where you're going not at the rev counter for a little red light. The light is not big or bright enough to see it without looking at it and the buzzer is not audible over the engine noise. I don't need a stupid light to tell me what revs im doing. I can hear that with my ears and feel it through the seat of my pants.

SirFozzalot

Really? You driving a diesel?

marshall332bhp

Exactly why I never had mine set

Chris, I was 100% expecting you to say you had yours set to 8k

I think its now set at 5.5 but I've not seen the light flash for ages lol

My heart sank when i seen the old gal as ya avatar pic. A must admit

Worlasshasansti

It beeps??? You must be right I've never heard it! Think my house needs repointing though after starting the car down the side and shaking all the muck out!

Mick

marshall332bhp

Ha aye it beeps like **** and flashes. It's mega mega loud from a cold start isn't it haha.

Worlasshasansti

Aye lol, the lad that came with me to buy yours just bought a 555 type r classic yesterday like not seen it in the flesh yet but looks a nice motor, I'll find out how quick It is at the weekend!

Mick

marshall332bhp

Hi Lee,

Mine is set at 5k light and buzzer, by the time you change up rev counter is on 6k anyway, flat floor shifting is a different matter though

I got a blitz Nur Spec system on mine and I can here the buzzer just fine..!

Although if i'am driving in anger I just take no notice...

blackhawksti

I set mine at 5k. That way, even if you're a little slow changing gears, you'll keep away from the redline, by which point, your starting to run out of puff. So much torque down the rev range on the 2.5 that there's no point going near, yet along bouncing off the limiter

Mine's at 7,200 (but it is a JDM ).

Imo 85-90% of redline is about right. It gives time to react and change before getting too close.

Before I knew/got used to the car I went to 7,9-something-or-other.

Most cars should be delivering useable power at 85% I'd have thought, and ALL scooby drivers have reactions quicker than a slug on valium.

if you need a red light to tell you when you need to change gear you might as well have a micra.

LuckyWelshchap

This is the first one I've had with GCDA.

In my others it used to be something like:

* 1st - change before "Two thousand"
* Reset
* 2nd - change just after "Two thousand"
* Reset
* 3rd - change just after "Three thousand"
* Reset
* 4th - change on "Five thousand"
* Reset
* 5th - stop counting.
