While I am thinking of it @ichitaka05

This link could go in the Tech info of the noob thread. I am sure there are a few out there with no manual since some people are jerks and keep them when they trade in. On a related note I have the owners manuals for just about every car I owned.

Conveniently my shift light was set at ~7150 rpm from day 1, very useful.

And yes was not a surprise because I read the manual.

Oh god no. Without Google or manuals I am a blithering idiot. I just disguise it well.
I actually taught a night course on EH&S law at the local college for a few years. My opening line was always "I am not going to instruct you on a single law in this class but when we are done you will know exactly where to find what you need, when you need it." It was far more effective then trying to remember thousands and thousands of individual facts in a six week course.

I played with it once by shifting at the light like it was a video game. Got old really fast.

Can you give me a summary of those manuals please?

So on topic, I was aware of the shift light when I lurked these forums back around 2012 or 2013. When I got my FR-S, I had mine set at 3500 RPM for the first 1000 miles, then 7000 RPM after those 1000 miles.

Well we could get way off topic!

I have mine set at 6800, ostensibly to give a small warning margin before the cut-out kicks in. In practice I find it's too subtle to really notice if I'm actively pushing it.
