does anyone know anything more about this cluster

ive never seen one installed. keep in mind they make more than one style and i for one actually like the other style better. i dont think you can manually set the odometer to a desired position

 

[masruque]

which other style ?

[masruque]

yea...this is the one i got...havent installed it in yet...probably tonight
i am wondering if anyone knows anything else about this before i go ahead and install it...
and what abt the odometer....how can i put the original miles on it

 

[Jimmy2times]

i'd just remember the original miles or keep the original odometer just so u know exactly how many miles are on the car.

 

[masruque]

lol thats not gonna be original though wld it?
cant u actually put it on the new cluster?
i know u can if u switch from oem to jdm or so forth but what about in a oem to digital ?

Really not sure if you can keep the same mileage but keep the original odometer so that you'll know how many miles are on it.

You really need to post up a how-to, if you can, when you install it so that it'll benefit others as well!

 

[masruque]

i will definitely try to

i am actually gonna try installing it tonight ....if not tommorow morning...
cant wait to see this thing lit and working

 

[somejaykid]

Yeah I have been very curious to see how they look...When you get a chance, post some pics of them uninstalled. I would like to see exactly what you get when you order them. Also take some of them lit up and stuff.

rolling odometers is a federal offense

thats neat.. take pictures of it installed...

 

[97GreenEX]

Wow I really like that. It's like the STi ones when you start up the needles sweep across and go back...
I'd love one of those but for $260...I don't know.

unless a dealership does it for you

Got them in yet??

 

[masruque]

put it in two nights back...
would have opened a thread of DIY but the instructions in the box is just so precise and so simeple to follow that it was really not worth it....
the thing looks "exactly" the same as the in the pics.

yes 260-280 is a high price for it... but then again...the price speaks it for itself. its highly accurate and quality built. why settle for something lesser?

ummm if anyone has any other questions...feel free to ask me. i will gladly respond.

please post pictures..and what did u do with the mileage? and do the needles light up? sorry for the questions, but the only thing i hate about my car are the gauges..lol

 

[masruque]

oh feel free to ask any questions.
i will try posting up the pics as soons as i am done with finals...the needles do light up red/reddish orange. the letterings light up white...the fuel and temp. gauges are completely digital so they do not have any needles.
as far as the mileage goes, i havent been able to transfer the original miles but i am going to try get in touch with some technician from a honda delaership or so and figure out if theres a way or not to transfer the miles...

Was it too hard to install? what do you have to do?
