Plug and play???

[Jerseystyle1]

Will a JDM CTR gauge cluster (like pictured) plug right into a 96 dx hatch and work?

 

[Eg_Project]

yeah im sure it does

 

[jdmhonda]

yep 100% plugs and play

 

[9civic7]

yea its just plug and play no extra wiring needed.

the jdm clusters are functional with just plug and play. however, to have everything work, you may have to add some wires. my eg6 cluster works fine, but the seatbelt light doesnt light, the icon of a hatch doesnt light to show what doors are open, i dont have TCS so that doesnt light, and it also has a gas light where my hatch didnt. you dont have the door feature on that cluster, so dont worry bout it, the gas light should work b/c i believe 6th gens already have them(could be wrong) not sure if those have TCS, and the seatbelt light is nothing to cry over. but there is an extra icon the jdm clusters have that usdm clusters dont (still trying to figure it out, but i think its some sensor to tell when the cat or o2 goes bad)

but to the orig question, it should plug right in and work fine.

 

[Jerseystyle1]

So the TACH should work fine?

 

[knockoff]

yes.

Thanks guys! Hey abej6 what grill is that on the HB on the right?

 

[knockoff]

thats my old cwest front end i sold to admin

that is a beautiful cluster. I think it would be weird getting used to the kmph

its kinda wierd (i still have a little cheat sheet in my car when needed) but all thats really important is 80kph=50mph

 

[Jerseystyle1]

Well I am shipping the car next week to Germany (US Army) and that is all they use so I'll be fine.

km/h is easy to get used to

 

[Sound Streamin']

It sure is lol. Although its also nice to have the MPH in smaller numbers on there too.

 

[anfrey]

nah... when i read km/h on the speedo, my mind is in kmh mode. tell me something in miles and i'll be all confused....

when i read the speedo in mph, don't even bug me about km/h lol... it's like i'm in two different modes

im getting close to where i feel comfortable reading kph w/o second guessing myself. but the problem is im driving and seeing signs in mph and gotta pull out the cheat sheet b/c its getting all confusing.

i see what u mean... just try to remember the 1.6x ratio. 1 mile = 1.6km
10 miles = 16 km
100 miles = 160km

it's easier to do the math in ur head if u use 1.5 to multiply... then add the difference multiplied by .1 to get the final result. hope that made sense.

important numbers when dealing with mph vs km/h:

25mph = 40km/h
37mph = 60km/h
50mph = 80km/h (the in-town speed limit in most km/h countries)
62mph = 100km/h (the "lower" highway speed limit here)
75mph = 120km/h (the speed limit on highways here)
100mph = 160km/h
124mph = 200km/h (my xsara's top speed)

if you did get a new gauge cluster how would you change the milage?

 

[anfrey]

i believe altering the odometer is illegal

 

[Mxpx182lit]

yea, i belive that altering the mileage is very illegal, and could even mean jail time if found out
