wow you can change where the red mark on your tach is? thats the redline...


rev limiter is where your reving stops... redline is a physical mark on your tach

check your speed sensor and see if that might be disconnected. also, are you throwing any CELs?

VTAK is hitting way too hard for your stock computer to handle!

You need to put a s2000 ecu to cope with that!

I don't know wtf you did to make your VTAK hit so hard that it rev limits, but you must be a [freak]ing god!!!!!
