Re: Guess whats getting installed tomorrow :)

That's where i got mine ha ha, you find the manual one? It's a bitch to find and I'm sure would easily go on eBay for 200+ if people knew it was there. But when I'll be working on my tomorrow and I will take plenty of pics so if i manage to figure it out, ill try and help anyway i can . can i ask where the person you bought yours off is located?

Re: Guess whats getting installed tomorrow :)

albany, NY was where i got it from....haven't heard from the seller yet =\ hope i didn't get ripped off. and i'll take all the help i can get lol. i mean those DIY's are pretty self explanitory, but lots of posts with ppl that messed up. like i said tho, still hoping i didnt just lose 60 bucks to some random guy...



mine is the auto. although i wonder, do all the clusters have that line across the plastic? its look to the top right of the pic...

i think you're right. I don't see the perforated holes in the middle sections.

Re: Guess whats getting installed tomorrow :)

I agree they are slightly pulled in some areas, but i'll work those out by adjusting leather. However they are the stock leather with the perforation couldn't see, the pics above are the seller pics, before i had the items. Here's some finished, rushed pics, nothing special but down to the nitty gritty. I used the same rails that the rsx seats came with, had to jimmy-rig the driver side because the railing closest to the center console does not dip down like it should. I solved this by taking like a 1.5x1.5 piece of wood, drilled a hole big enough for the bolt to go through, painted black and i was able to use the railing and rsx seat belt buckle thing. the passenger popped right in no problem. Also fyi, you can use the civic airbags in the rsx seats, the seats didn't come with airbags so i put my perfectly fine airbags into these.

now pics.

btw, don't dis to hard on the red steering wheel emblem. it's in testing ha, I put it there but i think it's borderline ricy and i'll think i'll be removing it shortly, thoughts?

also, next thing im doing is changing the "suede-ish" door panel material to graphite black, like the floor mats

Re: Guess whats getting installed tomorrow :)

psh matching mileage! My cars at 75,000, this cluster is at 15000 ha, I don't plan on selling it, im going to run it dead than part it out so i don't care what the mileage reads, just got to keep track for my own maintenance purposes

red is the shiznit. impossible to find too, so good luck to anyone trying to find a manual red one! also if anyone does a cluster swap, haynes says you have to remove the steering wheel and what not, you don't. I got all my **** going, reconnected everything and put it all back together to find out when i was reassembling i disconnecting one of my spiced wires. and i was able to get the cluster out just fine with the steering wheel intact.

Re: Guess whats getting installed tomorrow :)

revo shift shifter, cost you about a 100

rsx fronts are in now, and the rears will be in soon, got them sitting in my basement waiting to be fabricated to fit.

and the additional note about the shifter, using the stock shift boot which i removed and sewed the upper half to narrow the hole and make it flush with the shift **** and shift nut. I was attempting to get the tear shaped shift **** but the place i bought it from only showed the aerial view, but I'm more than pleased with it regardless. I think next I'm going to do change all my lights to a red hue. starting with the dash lights and gonna experiment with how the upper lights look red. nothing tacky, if it ever looks tacky it gots to go ha

Re: Guess whats getting installed tomorrow :)

everything works perfectly. the srs light is because i actually have a problem with my srs. I have to go to a dealer and get it diagnosed. but everything works which is indicated by every light turning on either during the "on" position or when you start the car the turn on and off to indicate they are working properly.

I did get maint required light after the install, but thats a mileage based alert, ie every 10k 20k 30k to remind you to fork up some cash to your local honda dealer. but that was simply reset.

WOW....so i got the cluster today (yay) and i called to see how much it would be to get the mileage matched and the dealer says anywhere between 250-300 dollars. im like wtf!@#$%. then i called advanced auto electronics (site i found in another post; thx gearbox) and they said 150...maybe i can live with the mileage the way it is lol. why does it cost so damn much??
