Shift Light?

[Bristow]

Hi,

Has anyone ever made there own shift light? I want one but dont want to splash out £100 odd just for a light that lights up!

Cheers

There's enough threads around about the built-in one not being a shift light, but a "you should have changed gear by now" light so I guess they just want one that can be changed depending on where your car makes the most power.

I'll be subscribing anyway

Yes thats correct! The built in one is gash! useless! I know when im gonna redline it! Thats what the rev counter is for!

 

[Bristow]

Ahmed hurry up and enlighten us!!!!

 

[Russ_16v]

you can get cheaper units than £100, have a shop around

 

[Craigus]

Can't you read the rev counter?

Well if you 'Know' when to change gear then what the f**k do you need a shift light for????????

 

[AhmedRSi]

Theres ones on ebay for about £40/50 would save you a lot of bother...

 

[SC03OTT]

I already know when to change gear...

 

[Mish]

Listen to the engine and watch your rev counter... it gives you a nice idea

I've never got shift lights on road cars!

 

[jenic]

I'd be more impressed if someone did ferrari style lights on the steering wheel :rasp:

He said he knows when it red lines

 

[Peperami]

If you need to watch the rev counter/ use a shift light to know when to change gear, you're doing driving wrong.

Im surprised you dont blow the welds on your intake!

Would the feel and balance of the car/ where you are in relation to the road, and the engine noise not be better indicators than a light?

 

[matt|H]

Why is everyone having a dig? Lol

He may want it for use on a track... There's loads of reasons (beginner with too many other things to concentrate on, new car, etc).

 

[Bristow]

Nah mate i want it cos it looks sick init!

I actually want this for track, as I have never been on before. Less to think about.

I just change gear when the car gets to the point of resonance and goes into vibration madness.

 

[Vicky.]

Lol @ vibration madness.

Demontweeks do a few but I'm not sure of the quality and price so you'd have to have a look.

When at test & tune I just changed at 7k as that's where my clock ends lol (1.4 dials) and the car's limit is 7800.
