Raptor Shift Light - Sucsess!!
 

I Mounted it on the A-pillar, wiring was kind of a PITA,my neck hurts because of the angle you have to be to wire it, but after a couple hours, its DONE!! :clap:

and it works wonderfully, lights up for about a second at 5800 rpms, the other night i went to "test" it, and it even works well over 100 mph :devil2:


Its, aluminum, looks sweet, Ill get some pics next week :beerchug:


:banana:

sweeeeeettttttttt...yellow light right? hehehe roxorz :banana:

darn skippy yellow light

Pics or :ban:

well since Chad @ MPH forgot to send me the mounting thing, its ductaped on...ill take a night pic :P

muaha here

Jon, can you turn them off when you don't want to use it?

i cant find these things on the site?

your not gonna be pulling 5,800-6k rpms every day lol errr or are you?

Spike is right, do u shift at 5,800 rpms everyday? ::p they also come with a little rubber cap that goes over the top

MT isnt selling em yet for some reason

Depends. It does not take much to hit 5800 smacking it in first. Course now the roads are so dam cold, I can't get any traction. I took the car out today and it barely holds the road in second. I can slip it into second, then at about 4,000 rpms, the tires break loose if I am at WOT.

well then you can put the little cap on it that comes with it :)

Shift lighs are way overrated man.. :)

i dont know about that when i am on the bottle at the track first and 2nd blow by so fast i wish i had one so i could watch my other guages instead of the rpm guage.

I was being sarcastic man..I have a sports comp 5" monster tach with an amber shift light.

Lets see some daytime pics.

This is the setup ill eventually get, and probably have the raptor claw with that.

Those gauge pods do look bad ass.
That last cobra with the dannyb wing does'nt look that bad either

duct tape is the ****. hope your mounting thing gets shipped

i got one of those.

got pics of it? Ill probably go with that and autometer nexus gauges.

here's mine powering on. it's not mounted anymore because it's freaking broken lol. i guess im just going to email the company again and try to get a new one or something. i hate you.

not installed yet. i havent bought guages yet. nexus damn those things are expensive but gotta love that smoked look when the car is off. i found some off brand gauges that have the same look as the nexus.

hehehehe, u sure u wired it right?

LoL nice avatar on the site....

I like that shift light. looks alot better then the monster tach.

thanks :pepper:

Ya those are nice. ill get em eventually with the raptor claw.

wtf is a raptor claw?

its an add-on for that pillar where it mounts a raptor shift light.

Like he said what kinda add on? like a new holster/mounting thing?

yeah those gauges are freaking badd ass. I'd rock em. :)

so you mean like this picture? with the Shift Light between the two gauges?

Just found this thread while searching my site traffic and wanted to say hello (and Merry Christmas!) to you guys.

The Raptor Claw is something I designed with the approval and guidance from Rick, the owner of Raptor Performance. He's got a great product, and I wanted to incorporate it into my pillar design, but the provided clips were not the answer. So, I made small clamping mechanism our customers can choose (or add later) to their pillar.

Here's another shot of the pillar with Nexus gauges and the Raptor in place:

Here is a closeup of the mount by itself (the only two ever in billet!):

This is how the clamp works, shown in an empty Raptor casing:

Hope this helps answer a few of your questions.

*EDIT* Stanger00, are the "off-brand" gauges that look like Nexus from SPW? If so, they DO NOT fit my pods, too deep. Only brand in 2 1/16" I've ever had a problem with.

Alan :beerchug:

yup they are spw. i wasnt planning on buying these anyways. thanks for the info though.

*drool*

The pillar with nexus gauges looks so badass! There are sooo many temptations for me to buy things but I really need that cobra brake upgrade all around or im not stopping when the car comes out in april. my brakes were toast when it went away.

lol, positive.. the light works fine.. it just throws a SES light when its hooked up (saying the fuel pump is disabled when obviously it's not). I have hooked it up a couple different times to make sure and tried everything.. I dunno anymore.

oh...that sucks...mabey your car hates you

Yea it does, send it to me and Ill handle it for you and return it.

No problem. I saw your post and thought it would be good to catch you if that was the combo you were planning. Not sure why, but those 7 color SPW gauges (Nexus look-alikes) are almost 2.75 inches deep! Seriously, almost twice that of an Autometer or other gauge. Doesn't even come close to fitting my pillar. They look cool, though.
