Fittting a rev counter to a Corsa B 1.0 12V Envoy

[mattsayle]

Basically I am doing my first trackday (well meant to be!) on the 15h of August and wondered if any of you knew how to fit a rev counter to a corsa as per teh thread title. THe reason I ask is due to the fact that I need to be noise tested at a certain amount of revs. You cant do that with no rev counter!!

ALso what is the maximum revs for the car?

Thanks
Matt

Unless you've got a dustbin bolted to it to replace the standard exhaust, you'll pass the noise test without issue.

I know that I will pass by miles. That isnt a issue.

The issuse is when you attend a trackday breifing then they state you must have a working rev counter so they can conduct a accurate noise test.

Yes 'if' you have one fitted, much like an MOT. I've never heard of one being mandatory!

Who is the organiser? One would hope they'd apply common sense as there's no way you're going to be over the noise limits unless, as I said, you've got some uber loud exhaust and even then, the engine isn't exactly gonig to be bellowing.

I did a trackday without a rev limiter (it was broken).

At the noise test, the guys just asked me to rev it hard, and we guessed...

Really wasnt a problem. Speak to the organiser, tell them the type of car, that it is unmodified (or whatever) and I am sure you'll be fine...

No limiter, on a track day, life on the edge!

oh ste, what I meant to say was a rev counter. Brain malfunction. The (working) rev limiter made sure I didnt over rev

Most noise tests the guys know what revs your at by the tone of the engine. Ring them and explain you dont have one and see what they say.

You'll be fine without a rev counter Matt. Save your money for the new tyres you'll need afterwards.

I am sorry for my out burst.
