I have a red gauge cluster as well, and I want a JDM tach too. That way I wouldn't need to get an external tach, because my fuel cutoff will be higher than 8,000 RPM.

does it really work having one extra 1000 rpm ?
i thought the gauge would just max out at 8600 or somthing and it wouldnt even go to 9000 not sure on that someone correct me if im wrong |

I'm not really sure what you're saying, but for my engine that's in my car now, my redline is at 7,800, 8,000, or 8,200 RPM. It's different based on the year of the AE101 ECU. Anyway, it'd be nice to be able to see exactly what RPM I'm at when I'm above 8,000 RPM, and that can't be done on the stock tach, as it only goes to 8,000 RPM.  What I'll probably end up doing is just getting one of these. It's an awesome shift light that displays your exact engine RPM. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

The design of the JDM/Euro tach? Also, did you use regular red type 194 bulbs, or did you use the type 194 LEDs? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

You could get an aftermarket ECU and raise your redline to something different, but the reason that the redline is at 6200 is so that you don't damage your engine by going over a higher RPM then what the engine is designed to handle. Reving higher than that on a stock engine will be bad for the engine. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Coomer, what u said is true, but the Celica ST after 1997 in Europe has a different ECU program that let the engine run till 7000 Rpms, so, since the engine is the same, 7k is safe for 7afe. Doogy can confirm this since he has that model of ECU

Geez, not only do your STs get rear disks, but you also get 800 more RPM. Poor North America... -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Oh, you're talking about the SW Performance shift light. Now I get it. Also, I've been to a few junkyards and haven't found anything. I've also had dibs on three sets of rear disk brakes, but they all fell through because people sold the whole car or just backed out.

He told me that it's very easy once the gauge cluster is apart. It just goes right in.
