also, which ones do u prefer, where to mount em, and how is the ease of the installation???

i saw one in a bmw that mounted on the steering column right behind the steering wheel, looked saucey!

lolz, my friend said that he can tell by the sound of his car...but mine kinda is undistinguishable after 8800rpm with a str8 pipe....

 

mount that piece soo it'll light up your face! in the
middle of the gauge cluster on sitting on the steering wheel.

 

I have a Razo shift light. It has 2 lights on it, one green one red. It can be set to indicate power band. For example, if rpm drops below 5800 rpm the green light comes on; if rpm raises above 8400rpm the red light comes on. It hooks up to the ECU to get signal.

It's a great tool to learn a new track:
When I take a turn with 3rd gear and the green light comes on, I know that I need to drop down to 2nd next time I take this turn in order to stay within the powerband.
When I take a turn with 2nd and the red comes on, I know that I could stay in 3rd next time I take this turn so that I would not over rev.

 

i have an autometer shift light. i mounted it next to my A-pillar pod. i'll see if i can fing a pic for you

 

i got one , it really serves no purpose but its cool , but its behind my wheel , like on my steering column , iot looks pretty tight.

 

Mine is in the dash vent

 

I remember at a car show I saw one flush mounted where the cruise control would be. I didnt know they fit it there, looked odd. Can you guys post pics of where you mounted yours? I'm thinking of a shift light myself.

 

check my sig, i just have the light no tach, no need for a tach when the car has one already.

let me tell u this its an excellent training tool, ive used the light so much that now my brain is prgrammed to shift at that rpm,no lie. plus it helps to keep your eyes on the road.

also at whatever point you like to shift at set it 200 rpms lower,reason is by the time you react to the light 1 second has paassed by (not exactly but you know what i mean) so if you set it at redline u will bounce off the limiter trust me. my gsr engine falls off at 7600 rpms althogh it redlines at 8000 rpms i have mine set at 7400 rpms.

 

mine is similar to lucas'.no f***ing 2nd tach! my Redline is 8100. i put a 7.6 pill on the lite

 

here is where some people put it. i think this is the best spot


and here is mine it is from the Hondata stage 3 kit i can see it out of the left coner of my eye

 

I say get one. That was one thing I found hard to do while driving an modded Integra Type R. That sucker revs so quick you have to look down at the tach a lot. Well at least I did. Coudn't hurt if anything right?

 

Wai, where did you get your Razo shift light? I did a google search and couldn't find it for sale anywhere.

 

Here's what I did with mine... Unfortunately, it doesn't work right now so I need to get out the paperwork and see if it is still covered under warranty.

 

just look at the tach and you should know where to shift

 

try that when your up the *** of another car in front of you, or in some fast turns. the light helps you keep your eyes in front and not watching the tach.

 

bob maybe the bulb needs changing,check that 1st. plus your connections,fuses,etc...

ian<--- just look at the tach eh? easier said than done when your flying at 8000 rpms! remember it only takes a split second before somehing can happen,plus if im 1/2 to 1 sec quicker than my openent cause im not staring or even glancing down at my tach that means everything!

 

i like this one

Yep, already did that...got a circuit tester and found that there is power all the way up to the shift light, and the bulb works fine... As for fuses, I don't think there are any. It is connected directly to the battery, and I wired a switch to it, which checked out okay. It's got to be the circuit board in the shift light...

 

You think you could fit one of those into that little area to the left where the cruise button should be?

Probably not....but there is a smaller version of that shift light... I wouldn't want it way down there though. It needs to be in your line of sight when you're driving. I think it is pretty well blocked by the steering wheel in the cruise button location.

 

Hmm, dang it. I dont like the idea of just having it sitting up there. Gives punks another reason just to shatter my windows!

 

What's a shiftlight?

 

RPM Activated Switch + LED (installed into gauge cluster into empty icon spot) =

 

Mike show me some mother f'in pics
