Warning Buzzer

[Gerry M]

HI all

THe redline buzzer what sort of speed should it come in when in 3rd gear?? Its seems to come in at 90 but for some reason I thought it should be 110

?? Why ??

The buzzer sounds when you hit some thing like 7250-7500rpm - what speed that is will vary from car to car due to the accuracy of speedo and what diff gearing you have e.g. 3.9, 4.1 or 4.3...

110 in 3rd?

If you do a search I found a link a while back showing what resistors to change to move the point of the change up buzzer.  My buzzer starts at 7k, which I found somewhat tiring on track - where changing up around 8k.  There is a rev limiter around 8k that you will bounce off of if you ignore the buzzer, but it is not regarded as being good for the car.

Mostly curiosity

Well my 998 imp will pull 98 in 3rd doesnt get there as quick thou so just expected it to be more.

I\'m pulling 105 at 8k, with my slightly raised rev limit could reach a fraction under 110 if I took it to the limiter, so it is feasible, but probably more mechanically sympathetic to use 4th  My old westie was running out of 4th gear around the ton, so the FD gearing is intergallatic in comparison nice not to be in 3rd gear within 60\' of launching the car :rollin
