430 Scuderia: F1-style Shift LEDs (1 of my fave mods to date)

Undoubtedly, helping develop the epic S-Line X-Pipe exhaust has been one of the biggest joys of owning my Scuderia...it is truly the only way to unleash that glorious F1 sound of yesteryear and it just sounds like nothing else on the road.

My recent mod from MACarbon though is right up there with the S-Line and truly completes the F1 experience! I feel like Schumacher / Vettel and constantly itching to chase those upper limits of the rev band.

Funny, how a few lights can bring so much delight. Funnier still is how my road going Ferrari sounds more like an F1 car than an actual F1 car lol!

Enjoy (I didn't floor it; was a little tricky filming w my iPhone in 1 hand and shifting w the other!):

 

When you see those lights on a downshift, you know you're really hauling butt...

 

Cool mod. Thanks for sharing.

Except in my opinion lights should all be green as we accelerate, then turn yellow near red line, then turn red once we reach red beginning of red line.

 

MACarbon does offer that configuration: green-yellow-yellow-red-red

I wanted the F1 experience so I went with red to blue =)

 

Got it. Thanks for that info!

I will reach out to them.

Do they have this for 360's?

 

I'd be interested as well if a 360 kit was available.

 

If I remember correctly from several threads a year or two ago, the LED lights will not work on a standard (non Scud) 430 nor a 360. One of the folks tried to get it working but couldn't. There was no data feed available to trigger the lights except on a Scud (or 458 and later). Others can chime in

 

Scuding offers a kit, but it's mounted on the steering column:

I wonder if there is a way to have MA Carbon make the wheel with the leds, then adapt (or disassemble the light unit and rewire to the MA CARBON LEDS) the signal from the Scuding unit to the wheel LED's and POW! Shift lights on wheel...

 

Ah, I get it. Thought the OP’s video was on the steering wheel. This suggestion would be the best of both worlds. Scud Ing’s electronic interface and a steering wheel with the LED’s. Sounds like we need some of you electrical engineers to figure it out.

Anything is possible with time + money =)

 

Exactly what I was going to post. If money weren't an issue, I am sure someone could do it for you.

 

Maybe a blue tooth kit could be made to mirror rpm data from an OBD2 transmitter?
