   I have finally installed the rev counter in my 1.1.
   Never had any probs!I used the Max power saxo book, and recommend it strongly!

   count the amount of revolutions that the engine/ancillaries makes.
   Higher the revolutions the faster you get in each gear.
   
   Older spec 1.1's didnt have a rev counter, which meant listening harder to your egine screaming when a gear change is required!

   i had to get the wire from the passenger side and feed it through. This was a good opporunity for me to get new dials too!
