TrisK Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Its a speed chime for the MK1 GT, like you get in the AE86 (Made famous by Initial D) Unfortunately the part number is discontinued by toyota, but has anyone ever come across one in any Starlet? Quote
Whitenoize Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I'm sure browner has one on that 71turbo makes a noise like a door bell when you hit 100kph I think lol Edited March 18, 2015 by Whitenoize Quote
daniel_g Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm sure browner has one on that 71turbo makes a noise like a door bell when you hit 100kph I think lolYeah i remember reading that. Quote
TrisK Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah its a bell that goes off when you get to 105kmph, or 105mph if you have a speedo converter. whats a speed chime? I'm sure browner has one on that 71turbo makes a noise like a door bell when you hit 100kph I think lol Its a JDM option/standard on some cars. If you have ever watched Initial D in the first stage when Takumi is racing you can hear it going off in the in car shots Quote

Cammy R Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Would be cool if someones starlet had this, first i ever heard of it was when i seen initial d! Quote
funny onion Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Why though? what's the point of them? they sound mega cool i judt don't understand lol. I remember it from initial d now but i've only seen it once. Quote

Think it would be to warn you that you are going to fast and try to bug you so you slow down so it switches off? just a guess really but i think thats what it is for Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 ^^^correct. Alfa Romeo 159s come with them - you can set the speed that you want it to go off at to act as a reminder not to go above a given speed. Naturally I have the one in mine turned off. Phil. Quote

I remember it from initial d now but i've only seen it once. Yeah, its a reminder in Japan.100kmph is the max speed on the expressway. So it goes off just over that to remind you that you are speeding. Pointless and probably really annoying over here. But I can deal with annoying for extra JDM option-ness, and the ability to tell a story. Plus we drove from Leeds to Poole in my mates AE86 with the bell going and it really wasnt that annoying Quote
funny onion Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I can't even cope if there's a slight tapping/rattling noise i think this would drive me insane! but i like the idea Quote

DevonGT Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Looks like it was on a lot of the 4efe models, including the ep85. Quote
