Re: Whats your unique mods? Post pics
we all know you're a thief, but you should post more pics of your front and read end, they look like a kit that was stolen in austin right before you made a for sale thread for your old kit. The person stole a Xenon front end and a BC rear end, and then you pop up with this exact kit the same month? Same color, broken side mount for front bumper, and lines under headlight. hmmmmm...
look you even took the grill off of the bumper the body shop ordered and installed, and tried to sell it so you wouldnt be spotted so easily. The grill that was on the bumper is the top one with the plain honda symbol. We also have your finger prints. Man you are a *****. Also stupid for posting about what you have one year after you stole it. We always suspected you and your lil thief buddies. If I see your car around, I will obtain a second sample of prints.

Awesome. The nerd in me thinks you should have some of the unused gauges read manifold pressure or something useful. That'd be tight. I wish they made a Hybrid with a manual. **Edit** Oh ****, they did. Parts search time.
I don't think I've ever seen that before, I really like that. Creative. That's what you call an elegant solution, people. Take note.
Oh, and Tragedy, this isn't the time or place. Keep it on topic.

^ thx for the compliment
to make the other gauges work i have to do some resoldering. it isnt quite as simple as just hooking wires up. I actually lost my water temp gauge by putting those gauges in.

I'll answer for him. It takes, usually, some basic skill with a soldering iron and basic knowledge of a 12V DC system. Just buy some blue LEDs off of eBay, you can usually get 50 with the appropriate resistors for about $10-15 shipped. You wire the LEDs in place of the bulbs that are already there.
Honestly, if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'd have someone do it for you. There are enough things that could go wrong that you probably shouldn't follow a DIY pictorial, you could get into some trouble if something went wrong or something unexpected popped up.

i had a hard time finding hybrid gauges to begin with and gearbox had these that he was selling so I didnt really care if they were auto gauges. I just wanted the blue. The pictures dont do them justice. they look more whitish in the pics. They are actually a very nice blue.
I plan on doing some experimenting to get the other gauges working...at least light up. I have just been lazy
Here some more shots of the gauges. Before you all start bashing me for the pillar pods...I put them in since I lost the water temp gauge with the hybrid ones. They are very useful for me and have saved my motor several times.

the gauge on the far right is a battery gauge. everything works except for the water temp, charge, and battery gauge. the miles are stored on the gauges not the ecu. so if you plan on swapping gauges you will not retain your mileage....so if you are doing warranty work put the original gauges back in. The hybrid gauges are not a direct plug and play swap... have to do some pin swapping

You missed my question on the mileage. The thing underneath your odometer is for gas mileage, right?

i still think you should be able to make those gauge work. at least the batt and temp by finding the right wire.

No the mileage thing doesnt work since my ecu doesnt calculate mpg. if the car is moving it says i am getting 120 mpg.
I tried gearbox... they just wont work. And it is not like i dont know my way around an electrical diagram

as for the gauges there is no wire there, all information is coumunicated on a computer network, from the hybrid's seprit IMA system (motor assist) and TCU (tranny control unit) among other units.the collent comes from the TCU and not the ECU thus it dosent work on a non hybrid car. as for the MPG readouts. there also from these units too i think. so u'd have to make a little black box like they did w/ the S2000 cluster to regain those gauges + any lights that are on the network.

I think it looks neat but it looks like it is smudgy or dirty at the same time
i have a manual hybrid cluster and would LOVE to get it funtional.
as for the gauges there is no wire there, all information is coumunicated on a computer network, from the hybrid's seprit IMA system (motor assist) and TCU (tranny control unit) among other units.the collent comes from the TCU and not the ECU thus it dosent work on a non hybrid car. as for the MPG readouts. there also from these units too i think. so u'd have to make a little black box like they did w/ the S2000 cluster to regain those gauges + any lights that are on the network.

I have the hybrid wiring schematics if you want them
and what is collent?
do you by chance need auto hybrid gauges instead of manual?
