new cluster

[Azkikr111]

yeah, them darn 96 dx civic aint commin with no gosh darn tach, hear what i mean?

i was thinkin of rippin one out of a junkyard civic EX or something of that nature, and then later get some pretty indiglo guages, i just want a normal tach, not anything with a big ugly shift light or anything up on my dash, just a nice little tach for my manual civic...and what really pissed me off were those darn plastic clips.....

yeah them uf-kers broke off on me when i was tryin to take it out earler, so i need a little plastic covering too now...

anyone know how much i should be spending on the instrument cluster off a junkyard civic?...or should i just try leaving it by the fence and picking it up in the middle of the night? :bandit: (please dont make me steal...i hate to steal cheap civic parts):paranoid:

also, what is needed (hardware wise) to make this replacement?...any extra wires or other mechanisms of that nature besides just the cluster?

stealing = a$$ whompin... dont go that way....

as for the cover... take it all off... i had mine off forever.. well like summer last year.. and its ok... its still clean... but i know clusters from honda are nasty expensive so i figure aroud 100 for a junkyard one.... and remember thats CDN currency....

damn, aight...100 aint too bad...i guess i could deal with that...i just hope i dont have too much trouble replacing it and finding any wiring harnesses for the tach (i dont know if it'll just swap out or if it needs a new connector somewhere)

thanks

im not sure about civs but maybe you can get an SI cluster and put that on?? woudl that work?? i dunno... maybe your just better off getting an external tach and molding it in your dash.. that would be cheaper.. and it'll lokk a lot nicer... custom mod... MMmmmm:yes:

[Azkikr111]

right...i think i can get one and itll just drop in as a replacement...i really just want mods that arent permanent you know, im not sure if im gunna be keeping this car after i get outta college, i might go for a nice lude...

so it'd be good to preserve it to where i can easily restore it back to original to get a nice trade

otherwise i'd have about 30 more holes in it }:]

well you are looking to pay anywhere from 35-100 US...you could try a local junkyard for prices or maybe

I hope that might help out a little....There are a couple of companies that make a smaller tach that you could mount somewhere....Just a thought...:crazy:
