I saw someone on the members rides page with a DX, with LX style gauges and a tac. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

I was reading a post about DIY Indiglo gauges and it said that a cluster ran like $500, is that typical? Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy from?

You can replace your cluster, but your odometer will be off because it will start back off at 0 (if you buy new) or with whatever mileage is on it if you get a used one from somewhere.

Are you sure that there is no other way to reset the odometer? Also, for the link posted, does that apply to manual tranny? The pic looks like an auto.

Do what I did, Get an Auto meter tach it looks cool and most come with a shift light. Loot at my page and you will see how cool it looks in the window.

Ok, I can pick up an aftermarket tach, but I was hoping to avoid doing this....unless I have no other option. I just have no idea how to install it and thats what I was looking for.

what's up dude,
your question is pretty simple. I have a DX automatic sedan, I went to www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and order the EX automatic cluster. I got it within 3 days.
All you gotta do is remove your dash cluster visor which is held in place with to screws pull it out then pull out the OEM cluster be gentle, then unplug the wires which are located on top of the cluster control. and just plug it back into the new cluster and that's it.
the only down side is your odometer starts back at zero..your OEM cluster saves the last mileage number so you can add it up in the future if you have to..
Good Luck

andyman97,
I'm like you. I want the tach, but I don't want to spend a boatload of cash on a gauge cluster and have to deal with mileage discrepancies when I eventually sell/trade the car. I'm looking into getting a gauge pod that mounts on the A pillar and can hold a small tach. To me, that wouldn't look too bad and would blend in nicely with the interior. Bad thing is that I don't think anybody makes a gauge pod for the 7th gen civics yet. If anybody knows where to get one, please reply!! I read in another thread that the one for a prelude fits with little modification, so that might be an option.

edited: ok, check out THIS THREAD about using a Prelude pod.
Also look at Intruders ride HERE to see what it would look like installed. He was mounting a Voltage meter, but you could probably find a tach that'll fit.
