Hm,how can you explain this?!?

[a3ternus]

The 7100rpm redline is something the car had when i bought it
but believe me,noone has ever had an idea about how it was done...
Any ideas?!?

your tach is wrong, or you have a chip. of course it doesn't really make sense that you would be doing only 200kmh (~125mph) at 7100rpm (5th gear?), unless you have really tight gearing, so my bet is your tach is wrong.

[YAN-3]

its prolly got a chip that raises the RPM limiter. and what gearing do you have 4.10? my black 3.73 pulls 220 at about 5600ish

Wrong!!! I ve got a 3.64 coupled to 4speed manual! ;)
So the tach is not wrong...
Also,the engine is a M10 L-Let,so it doesnt get a chip...am i wrong?

4 speed manual? interesting. must be a euro only thing.

FYI,the car was originally bought in Belgium...:!:

did you cover up your service indicater light with electrical tape?

You cannot change the chip on those. I read an article about doing some soldering work on the circuit boards to raise the rev limiter on those, but I've never seen it done or tried it before.

haha I don't even think my 318 can do 125mph, weird.

Yeah you can, I read about it in Roundel

I think you can get a 7100rpm with a simple resistor swap.

Yea thats what it was, a resistor swap.

Haha,I know it looks gay but believe me,its effective after
all those hours staring at those damn blinking 'Inspection Light'! :pimp:
My cluster needs some soldering work asap...:roll:

Anyway,thanks for the info guys...
I really needed an expanation...
