Does the tac actually keep moving past the 8k rpm mark?

I wonder if they can print me one custom. I'd like one without the KM/H stuff on the speedo and with an 8k rpm redline.... heh.

yea, i'd prefer to have the rotor sign instead of it saying gsl-se in those gauges...

I also took my *spare* gauge cluster apart to try to increase the redline.. isn't gonna go past eight without some rigging.. having nine would be nice though.

I love my Autometer gauge, I freaked when I hit 10k doing donuts after work one night! Wet pavement makes for fast wheel spin.......

I'd just like to simplify the gauges a little. I also don't like the red-on-white look.

But! I know what you guys are saying about over-revving. I have a light flywheel and it is very easy to do, but the MSD 6AL direct fire I have actually *does* work to cut the ignition. I have it set at 7k (too low) but I think I'm going to get a 7.5K rpm one for my 12a. When I get the 13b in, I may go with the 8k rpm. 7 and 8k come with the MSD.

get a tach from an 83 rx7. i did that with mine and mine used to go to 85 mph now it goes to 140mph. will it actually go 140mph? i think not, but thats not the point. its plug and play, it calibrates itself too, so no work is needed. you dont need the whole cluster, just the tach. i learned that the hard way

alright class, sit down and shut up!

speedo=speedometer(measures speed)
tach=tachometer(measure rpm's)

Come back tommorow to learn how to wave

Unhappy

Still no gauges for 150 Mph (250km/h) and above 8K rpm (1979-1981 type)
I got a 240Km/h gauge now, but I want one in white and goes to 250 240 is not enough anymore

Can't let you walk around like that,,,all confused,.. Lol the cool thing is that if one gets the white face over-lays and has an 82 with the 85 mph speed-o. is to get the odometer/speedometer only from an 83 guage cluster. get that, install it, hook up the speed-o cable and thats it nothing else , and it reads right ( correct mph )

MSD makes an adjustable limiter pill... It's a little box with a dial on it... I'm using one with my MSD 6AL.....

If you want them I will need the face plate that reads 240KM/h so I can make a new template to run the white gauges... email me...
