Going for the honda conversion, what has anyone done about changing their stack?

Im going to have the shift lights installed but i'll need a new stack or is this not the case?

Any pics of any stack changes for the honda install would be much appreciated...

Yee haa!

Nothing, most people keep the standard one. My shift light still comes on at 6k+. There's a thread on SELOC about changing it / extra shift light. By the time the counter goes off the scale you've only just got time to change up anyway driving

Not considered selling your Exige and buying a 2 11? You'll get at least 18k for your car

Cool Sircool

Haven't spent anything on her other than servicing parts etc, I'm having plenty of driver training at the moment so really its an investment in me as opposed to upgrading the car. Might be doing the Trophy next year so we will probably go for either a Eagle/Europa or S/C Elise next? Can't justify having a track based car with our R that's being converted for the track but if it all doesn't happen then a 2 11 and a Europa

IIRC there's some new re-calibrated stack option available, that should talk to everything OK. I never bothered with shift lights on mine, you get used to watching the needle head south and by the time you're over 8k you're going so friggin quick you should be watching the road anyway. Don't bother IMO. The only time it was a bore was because of the shift-light on the 111S (which mine was pre-Honda), that came on at about 6k rpm per the standard trigger for the 111S. Just learned to ignore it after a while.
