I would like to provide some type of shift point/rpm indicator (re: light). I noticed some of the tuners providing this. Don't know any details but would want something small and unobtrusive. Any suggestions? Tnx

I am in the middle of preparing DIY pages for a shiftlight install using either an LED or a factory warning light.

The 993 version is done, I am a week away from having the 986 / 996 / GT3 version done.

Q,
Great timing! Please keep me informed as to any progress.

I have been thinking about this one with its helmut and/or small three-light remote display option.

 

How can you ened a shift light? Between sound, feel, and the tachometer if you can't tell when to shift I don't know how you will ever...

I have only seen this done to rice boy honda civic cars and pro drag race cars.

 

Take a look at a formula 1 or indy steering wheel or even a GTS car, they all have sets of shift lights. You're assuming your the only one on the track. Imagine yourself in the middle of a group of cars all making an ungodly racket all trying to get through a corner together. It is very difficult to get a glimpse of the tach in the middle of all else that's going on. My feeling is it is very comforting to get an indication you are comming up on a shift point. It simply makes life easier and safer.

 

Did this ever reach completion?

 

What is the little thing that looks like a light on the tach next to the 9? I have never seen this actually turn on (if it is a light that is). You can see it in mds' avatar.

 

that is a sensor for ambient light,

it would be a perfect shiftlight wouldn't it...

anyways, if you want a fast solution, get a G-tech pro.

 

what is the purpose of sensing ambient light? What does it do?

 

Probably adjusts instrument lighting based on it. You don't want it too bright when it's dark out because it will ruin your nightvision.
