i would say that about 100 dollars ... and can prob be done within 3 days (giving the fact that we have money, which most of us normally don't :P there for about a month lol. ) that should be an interesting project though i think that i'll be like the holden monaro (when you turn on the traction control it gives out the most straight talking ozzy messages: "What a poofter, thanks to the world everyone, there's a (somthing) on board, what a poofter,poofter, ya poofter, poofter my shima can drive faster than this, poofter, poofter, poofter" .... and so on) i've got a clip from top gear if anyone is interested to seeing it its honestly the most annoying car that i've ever heard. its about 73MB ... if anyone has a way of posting it somewhere i'd be glad to give it to them to show how annoying it is, (i got my copy from kazaa you can try there)

its not safe for any of them unless they have had the internal mods necessary for that kind of rpm especially if its for more than just a very short duration.

If the buzzer only has positive and negative leads to it then you could rig those to a relay and run a sound machine of some sort off the relay. But if there's more than just positive and negative leads then I don't know. That would be great though. Somebody do this now!

For those who have not heard the redline buzzer, right click, save as:

Notice how the camera man gets thrown back in the seat at shifts hehe.

TWS 2.9: I shift right after the transition from turn 12 to the front straight, into 4th. Take 4th all the way down the front straightaway and through 1/1A/2 and down the short straight between T2 & T3. Downshift to 3rd into T3, which will kick the rearend out (most of the time) and 4 wheel drift from the apex to track out. Shift to 4th at the transition to the "back road", then back down to 3rd at the transition from the Big Oval (the time between the up and downshift is pretty minimal). Again, this kicks the rear out and it's a 4-wheel drift from just past the T4 turn in through the apex and track out. If I do it right, the buzzer is going off the entire time, almost drowned out by the exhaust, but not quite. Quick shift to 4th right after track out, and full throttle (sphincter pucker through 5th) BRAKE, downshift, turn in for 6. Buzzer in 3rd, grab 4th, and cruise down the "backstraight". Flat out through 7, if it's a little loose I'll tap the brake with the left foot to settle it down, then straight toward the Pepsi tower (I don't know what it is now, but it was a Pepsi tower when I was a kid), downshift to 3rd, turn in, and full throttle through Lefthand T8 and RH T9. Gas, gas, gas towards T10 (the carousel) when it's braking just before the transition, listen to one of the leftside tires squeal from the variation, and turn in. Throttle modulation all through the turn, maybe a left foot brake if I'm feeling giddy, clip the curb at T11, shift to 4th, and away we go down the backstraight. Foot to the wood through 12 (The Kink) and make sure nobody wants around me in 13/14/15, because they'll hit me if they try. I turn in for 13, and make it through there without sweat (I was making time on people last race through here, and I normally suck, so NO SOUP FOR YOU), full throttle through 14/15 as we head towards the transition where I shift to 4th.




Oh, whoops, you mean when I'm gayin' it up on the mad-tyte street, right? I dunno. Whenever I feel like it.

I removed the potentiometer that is on the tach circuitboard for the buzzer and hooked up a remote pot. I can now set at what RPMs the buzzer goes off.
It can also be hooked to a relay for doing evil things @ a given RPM, such as opening my electric exhaust dump @ 4K RPM.
