I recently got a book "Honda S2000" by Daniel Carney. One of the photos in the book showed a 10,000 rpm on the tach. Just curious, was this how the original year 2000 model looked?

My 2002 S2000 has up to digit "9" tach, and the tach just blinks in "RED" in the above 9,000 zone. I like how the current tach is non-linear, using more space to display rpm above 6,000.

While on the subject, what is the rev limit set at?



'02 Black/Black

 

No production cars got that tach; only the pre-production test mules.

 

I believe the limiter is set at 8900??

 

The limiter is set at 9200 RPMs

 

Thanks... didn't think I was right

 

Yup, 9,200 managed to find it once or twice.

 

You'll also notice that in Carney's book he calls the display "LED" at least twice.

WRONG!!! It's backlit "LCD".

But I won't hold this and a couple other mistatements against him, the book is extremely well done.

 

Our dash also has a "CH" button instead of a ">>" button.

 

buy a Dinan chip, and maybe you can experience 10k RPM's.. hope your valves dont get bent or burned
