Arran Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Evening all Was wondering earlier what's the safe rev limit of our cars, I'm not one for revving high anyway as mine is set to 6200 on the display but it goes to 8000 as the limit? Surely this can't be right or safe? Just curious that's all Cheers Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 You have a rev limiter that's dependant on the engine in your car: Either 6500, 7000, or 7500. What you're setting is the change-up light, not the rev limiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Mine was set at 5800 when I brought it and have never changed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 You can shift whenever you want, it's only for your own use/benefit. Tbh the light is a bit too small to be really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I actually think the light is pretty good. Mine is set at 6600, which is right on the brink of the redline. As far as I know it's always been that, but I'm crap at changing gear anyway so I don't really go there too often! (NO ONE SHOULD EVER SAY 'SHIFTING'..

Arran Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yeah thought that was the gear change light, but a mate thought it was a limiter Don't think they need to rev high tbh although it's a wonderful noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I never look down for the light, just listen! Sounds even better with a Milltek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
