Since your looking for everyone's opinions....i would say drop the idea. I know a number of people have done the install, but why?
I think the cluster is cheesy and not worth doing at all, it's not that great
Just my 2 cents

but since you said drop the idea, i wanted to know why you would NOT want an s2000 cluster in your standard honda? i thought every honda owner strives to be different from every other honda that drives by them ( RWD k20's in civic's, Awd Honda's) you know? why not be THAT much different from every other driver, well thats my 2 cents in it, just thought it be cool, to have that feature

I like the AP1 cluster, but maybe that's because I have an S2000, but seriously I'd say do it, I've seen several cars with this done and wanted to do it in my old 91 Si hatch, it gives the car a sort of "race car" feel.

Well, the S2000 cluster doesn't really match anything in the car, it doesn't fit well at all in the cluster housing without fabbing up extra trim all the around it...ends up being kind of getto in most cases, plus it means a complete rewire.
Although i can appreciate you are trying to customize you car with personal taste, i would say spend your time/money on a better mod, imo You can already get a few very nice clusters for your car from different models around the world that are different and plug right in, and still oem, plus clean!! Many people respect a clean and well built car!
Just because the cluster is digital, doesn't make it better, ever wonder why all high end cars run needle style gauges?

s2k cluster ftw.. i want one for my eg too.
although i would love to help u out, i am in the same position as u because i also want to know whats the difference between the 2 . weather its just the look..or diff features.
i would say though, my choice of either cluster would be the ap1 cluster just because the rpm's ride across the whole cluster which i personally think is dope.

Re: S2k cluster Into Ej1, AP1 Or AP2?? Which Is Better?
yeah, i was taking a closer look on the detail, and ok heres what i found feel free to correct me if im wrong
ap1- has no clock, but Rpm's ride all across the cluster, and is not color customizable( cheaper)
ap2- Shortend Rpm Size, Built In clock, customizable color's, (higher price, why?)
anyone else would like to throw their 0.02$ in their i would greatly appreciate it

I vote for the AP1.
Thats only on the way it looks. As far as ease to install, your guess is as good as mine.
P.S.
Has this ever been done in a Dol Sol??

Function> Form. Determine which one best suits your needs. Aka whats the redline of your car or where do you plan on running your tach to? I have an AP1 but am growing tired of it.

I thougt there was all kinds of people(proffesionals) making vss adaptors, wiring adaptors, mounting kits etc JUST for the ap1/2 into civics.
I know there was a guy in the uk that did the whole wiring for you and sent it back to you through the mail. Its gotten really cheap compared to whe. They first started messing with this idea
Ps race cars read a digi tach for a reason
