Where are these sold?

I dont like the fact the car has no rev limiter

gsf or euro car parts should sell them, failing that a local motor factors, should be around the Â£10 mark, hence why they get non rev limiter replacements

Lol if youve been near the point of needing the limiter you've probably been going too fast anyway

When i had my mk2 i was an idiot with it, used to drag race my friends (all 1.0 1.1l cars and i never lost) and go through each gear to the point it stopped accelerating and the dash lights began to glow (never forget that) however the car was always fine always started never died and always ran smooth. Mind you i religously serviced it and it was quite low milage.

They cost more money than normal ones (alot more) I take it youve not got a rev counter with it being a formel E? You should however still have the red markers for indicated gear changes. IIRC theres only 1st and 2nd on the formel E dial (off the clock in 3rd.

) So its best to stay below those, although I find that theyre qute conservative. (usually set at about 5000rpm)

Here's Mine

I rarely go above the red line markers because there isn't really any speed advantage to do so, Also I'm trying to save on fuel and i don't want to cause the engine any potential harm...

Guess i will just stick with the unrestricted rotor arm

I seem to remember the rotor arms with the limitter on, when they work, don't cut in until a crazy-high number of rpm (8000 springs to mind, but I don't know how accurate that is).
