Has anyone fitted CARTEK shift lights ??

Hi there all, I wondered if anyone has fitted the Cartek shift lights to their 86, FRS or BRZ??

If you have fitted the Shift-i one I would be interested in your thoughts as well

Thanks

Chris

If you mean the Ecliptech ones I had them on my Elise, and a mate has a set in in his Evo X, haven't bothered with them so far for the 86.

In your situation (racing) absolutely recommend them, but for anyone but serious track or FI users they are probably overkill.

I acquired some Cartek ones but no instructions. I have used the Eclipitec (Shift-i) ones on all of my other cars and they work a treat.. On the VE HSV I had them at the bottom of the screen in my field of view so never missed a change but with the 86 I find that I am hitting the hard limit from time to time and I desperately need some shift lights.

It's usually when someone his hard on your rear bar coming out of a corner which is not a good time to dump a heap of revs on the limiter

Google I guess.. thanks anyway

Go to cartekmotorsport.com and they have the instructions on the site that you can print off.
Cheers

Yep found that thanks Len but I have to hook it up with a Auto Meter Tach adapter Mod 9117.. geez this stuff challenges me.. might have to pay a sparky

I should stick to driving.
