noticed it in the M3?

1536.2Stack??COMICS::COOMBEREndurance racers do it all nightWed Sep 04 1991 11:206
    That I believe is quite common, certainly the jaguar xjr12 has a
    simular arrangement. Stack seem to be one of the most common make of
    dials gauges etc , Would it be worth asking them. If they don't do the 
    device I guess must know who does.

Even my Jeep Wrangler has that little light. But it tells you when to change
gear at around 2500... just incase you forget! ;-)

1536.7just an ideaKETJE::SHASTA::RUTTERI Broke Our SystemWed Sep 11 1991 09:428
    Derek,
    
    I believe all the cars in the current BTCC have a rev limiter as part
    of the regs.  I don't suppose that it is provided with that, is it ?
    
    If so, it would have to come on *before* the limit to be of use...

�    drag racers ...... available from Real Steel in Uxbridge, about �120
    
    But it probably only works with V8 engines !

1536.10What a bargain, every car owner should buy this :-)CHEST::RUTTERI am IBOS 2 !!!Wed Oct 23 1991 15:1811
    I see Micro Dynamics are advertising an 'engine rev monitor & controller'
    incorporating a gear shift indicator, digital tacho and rev limiter.
    
    A 'great new system' for only �259.00 !!!
    
    It states that each function is available separately, so perhaps
    you could find out the cost for the 'shift-light' from them ?
    
    If you want to bother, they are on (0883) 349281

1536.11NEWOA::SAXBYAye. When I were a lad....Wed Oct 23 1991 15:225
    
    If you're looking in last week's MN, the tacho light is a page back
    for about (if my memory serves me - which I doubt) �60.

�    If you're looking in last week's MN, the tacho light is a page back
    
    No, I've got this week's.  
    
    I haven't bought it for a while and decided to get 'back into it'.
    The adverts often make interesting reading, anyone got a spare
    �120,000 to buy me a factory Quattro ?
