A sad thing to have to admit, but...
 
I've had my rex for 2 years... I found out yesterday that the shift buzzer works. :rolleyes:

I know, I'm pathetic. :D

hehehehe .... :rofl:
20 lashes for you, and you must now walk over hot coals :D

Roy James 08-03-02 04:21 PM

TWO YEARS AND YOU DIDNT RED LINE IT?!?!?!?! damn thats gotta be boring. I hold mine in the red line daily, shit.. multi times daily. You're poor rex :D j/p man

rico05 08-03-02 04:28 PM

WOW. I learned that the day I bought my car. A buddy of mine had a friend w/ a FB, and he told me to redline it and see what happened. I love that little thing!! Ricers needs shift lights, racers need buzzers;)

jeff_oner 08-03-02 04:34 PM

so, is the buzzer supposed to come on just before redline or after. mine goes on at about 7800RPM and I have a 91 N/A

R1Outcast 08-03-02 05:02 PM

I've never redlined my FD. I really baby my baby. I'll do it someday. :rolleyes:

CanadianRX7 08-03-02 05:04 PM

It comes on before redline. My '87's buzzer comes on about 6800RPMs.

Redlining the car is a daily thing for me. I think its a disease! The sound of the engine at redline, the buzzer and the flames when I shift are VERY addicting. I need help.

WELL MY BUZZER works when it wants to soi do not have a buzzer. really sucks!have a shift light though which isnt that cool under my white gauges so all it is is a yellow square! lol i can resolder the cpu for the buzzer right?

zelgadiss-san 08-03-02 08:25 PM

hrm... I wouldn't know... auto sucks. I can't wait till I have the money to get it converted, although my dad doesn't want me to, so I'm thinking that if he doesn't let me, I'll just sell it and buy a TII.

Scott 89t2 08-03-02 09:36 PM

I don't know if mine works :) but I did hit 6997 on my S-afc last week :D

gsracer 08-03-02 09:44 PM

lol shit you guys I hit redline everytime I drive my car anyway....whether it be a hour trip or a min. down to the store :)

easy p-cheesy 08-03-02 09:47 PM

I freak people out with that buzzer. When someone is riding with me, and I hit redline, I act like something broke. They start panicking... Definately worth trying that if you haven't before.

Never redlined your FD? Have fun rebuilding the engine once its carbon locked...

HeavyFoot86 08-03-02 10:37 PM

People always ask me what the beeping was. First time I did it I thought someone was honking at me. Now I redline it everytime I drive it. It is addicting...very :bigthumb:

Pinfield357 08-03-02 10:42 PM

yeah the first time i did it (about an hr after buying the car) i thought that some one was laying onthe horn at me

easy....I knew you were cool. Sometimes, I LIVE in the redline....I've pushed her to 9900 rpm's before. I have a freind with a stock tranny that has gone to 11000 rpms:eek:

WonkoTheSane 08-03-02 11:46 PM

I don't think mine has a redline buzzer.. or does my ECU need resoldered?

j9fd3s 08-03-02 11:54 PM

they all have buzzers, i had one car where it was broken. the damn thing would sometimes go off at 4k sometimes 8k, but mostly somewhere in between

Goddamnit change your avatar!! It makes me think it's stickgoat posting and I was like WTF stick has a 7?!?!

bleh...

DCmina 08-04-02 12:35 AM

never redline my car yet, just took it to 7k :)

StarionX 08-04-02 09:35 AM

Apart from cleaning out carbon deposits, is there much point Redlining? I'm not sure of exact figures, but Torque would drop off somewhere around 6000rpms (Turbo car), so wouldn't that be the optimum shift point?

bob13bt 08-04-02 10:21 AM

Shifting at redline is best for power on ANY car. Unless it runs out of steam at a low RPM. By shifting at 7k the arps come down to 5300-5500 depending on the gear. Perfect!!

Yeah, I'm curious too. I always thought redlining was bad for the engine...taking it to its limit and pushing it really hard. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Pinfield357 08-04-02 10:40 AM

rotary engines like/need to be redlined it helps clean out the carbon deposits and for shifting you would want to take it a few hundred rpms over so that when the rpms drop during the shift you are still in your power curve.
