A warning light will catch your attention if you're not looking directly at it. A colored section will not. And since you actually spend very little time redlining the car while drifting, hitting the shift points isn't particularly crucial. You keep the motor speed and the gearbox where you need it for that particular turn and (at least for me) that's usually only at about 3-4k rpm even though my rev limiter is set to 6k.

All you really need to worry about is overrevving the motor and hurting it.

+1. Most engines torque band is not at the top of the RPM's. If you take a look at most Dyno sheets, you'll see that after some where between 50% and 70% the torque starts to drop off. One reason why larger engines have a major advantage. Smaller engines need to be higher in the torque band. With less power, if they drop they can't make it back up. One reason why the 4A engines have a bit more mechanical problems than larger engines.

Nice looking car mate. That blue looks pretty sweet on it. I didn't see, but I'm curious what tranny your running on that thing? If it's the Nissan 5 speed, I'm curious how well the mounts lined up.

Also what rear end are you running?

5sp sr tranny mounted up pretty easy welded plates to the mount and new holes not hard at all. rear end is celica supra 7.5in
