Ok guys I now have 1800 mile son my motor and around 110 compression on both rotors. I have been redlining her moderately and have noticed somethign strange. My car was an automatic that I converted to 5spd, WHY DOES A BUZZER GO OFF WHEN I HIT REDLINE? It simply puzzles me why a automatic would ahve this feature unless it was simply built into all ecu's and clusters. ANy ideas?
Also is it safe to drive the car at low rpms when its still pretty cold? I mean I dont have time to sit there and idle every day before work and before I drive home. But its been pretty cold lately so i have just been idling for about 5 minutes and then driving easy and staying around 3k since thats where to cold start system would have kept it anyway. Is this safe?

how cold is it getting?
When i lived in new york i would start it up and just take it easy on the car, for the first 15 minutes or so. I wouldnt drive hard until i could see the engine temp move or until the heater was blowing hot.
As ive heard aaron state(i think). There is no reason to let the car idle for a while, just get in and drive it gingerly.

if you drove your car with the auto maybe the buzzer was for the 'hold' feature on the autos. I dont know how long the hold button will hold a gear or if it will hold untill you let go... possible untill and beyond redline.

^its not really all that cold at all, just cold enough to make me worry about my car.
^^Thanks, like they say 95% of the time the owner is to blame for the car trouble.. Ive been doing everything I can to baby her through the rebuild. It was patient hell but its over now.
