After complaining to Canzoomer about the volume on the beeper , the rx8 SAGE has looked into the matter with his apprentice side kick Docctor .
They have found out that the beeper is a peizo electric buzzer .operating of 5 volts its located behind the instrument cluster in the dash .
They are currently tryng to see if they can increase its volume .
Congratulations are in hand for the rx8 mavericks who continuesly explore the boundaries and the hidden treasures of the rx8 . HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY keep up the good work.

Increasing the volume on the beeper is my next project once I fit my front grille.

As a one off, how about a custom dash mounted black forest cuckoo clock that say's "change gear" ???
(L&L could source them for us from Montville :D)
But seriously - a bright LED and a better beeper wired to a small solenoid from the original circuit is no big shakes.

Actually I'm thinking of inverting the circuit as well as incorporating feedback form the oil temperature... once it's nice and warm... beeps until you redline :D
