do the gauges "sweep" on start-up??

darkalley · 04-06-2008, 10:58 AM

i think i have seen it in a video but i can't find it. when you start the car is there a way to set up needles to go from zero to full and back to zero?

skierman64 · 04-06-2008, 11:01 AM

God, I hope not. This is a real car, not a toy.

No, they don't. However there is a socalled 'KI test' which sets the needles to do that and can be accessed in the hidden menu. I think savage posted a vid of such a test. You may like to search for that.

HAHA, I knew that was an IF-F as soon as I saw your post. Didn't realize it did that.

We all know you changed your car to do that S.

Looks like the IS-F has a built-in radar. Never know when a burning Zeppelin might be about to crash into your car, so it's a good idea I think.

WCH · 04-06-2008, 02:00 PM

I don't like the sweep as well. Annoying.

Define wierd?

Does wierd mean, those opinions that differ from yours?

jilTed · 04-06-2008, 03:55 PM

I hate the sweeping too....it totally ruins the feel of the engine startup sound..

darkalley · 04-06-2008, 04:31 PM

i think the mclaren f1 gauges do and i know the aston martin's do. to me, in the right car it adds to the race feel. just me i guess.
