Its a stupid ? I know but I don't want to shell out 200 bux for a new one and I want to have exact milieage recorded when my rebuilt motor goes in this weekend?

Your not supposed to.
Its Illigal and you go to jail.

When you register the car and DMV finds out ur previous mileage was higher, u get in trouble and you get fined.

HAHAHHA! That's ghetto... If you really want that so bad, then unplug the spedometer...then calculate 200 miles.. somehow... My friend unplugged his GS-T guage

Yea thats not really a good idea and it is illegal. Plus the second owner of the car is gonna be pissed if he ever finds out. Just leave it as its just a couple of miles.

Okay guys this is no different then replacing the odometer. I don't really plan to get rid of the car anytime soon I've put to much money into it. I'm pretty well known here and I would do it and try to play the car off as having only 20,000 miles on it.

If you don't know then don't reply. I know its not exactly "legal" but I'm not trying to do it to sell the car. Its more or less for me. Since no one knows then I'll buy a new one that shows 0 on the clock (which is gonna be the same thing as rolling the miles back anyway minus the 200 bones). I was just looking for a cheaper way to do it because its not that important to me.

Thanks anyways guys.

Even if you are putting a brand new motor in it, there are still all the other parts of the car that don't have 0 miles on them. Brakes, suspension, interior, exterior, HVAC systems, etc.

It is NOT honest or worth doing. In this day and age, they will catch you. Your VIN will be red flagged with "Not actual mileage", which will severely hurt the value of your car.

No, it's not the same thing because when you do, they give you a paper that MUST be kept with the car showing the milage at installation of the new one. Go to a junk yard and buy a cluster and take it apart and figure it out. It's not that ******* hard, dim dim.

F=WT I don't ask ?'s all that much and I was bored. I'll try it myself this weekend I was just checking to see if anyone had done it before. Thanks for the insightfull comments Noobie

dohcsideSi

he prob was joking, ---> dremel and a little gear....to the back of the odo

Actually a friend of mine works for a odometer shop and said they only set odometers within a couple of hundred miles. Reason being is that over the life of the car the tires expand and contract adding or subtracting mileage to and from your car. Your odometer is not going to be perfect anyway.

But odometer shops sign and date paperwork for you to let you know the car was professionally done.

H - talk to Tom @ H-A Specialist. He reset his using drill method.

**** is everyone starting to do this now...this is like the 4th one this week that asked the same question...its a federal law under the Lemon law, if u wanna be legit u go to ur dealer and show them the recipe of ur swap with the engine milage and the milage u have on ur car and they'll print u up a sticker of the difference in milage and stick it on ur door jam

Apex i ITR

I've had my swap for a 1 1/2 years. This is because of my rebuild that I recently had to get done. Like I said I'm not planning to screw anybody, its for me. I'll probably end up trying to find gauge cluster out of wrecked SI because my Speedometer doesn't work all the time either (Haven't found a good price on one yet and no its not the speed sensor).

PandaBear

Haha,

I am sure all the people who intentionally reset their odo will say "it is just for me"..... but seriously, why bother if it is just for you? you know the milage anyways.

Loco Honkey

Oh please... I've been doing Honda **** for almost nine years, and because I have 70-something posts, I'm a dumbshit newbie... Who started this ghey- *** thread with a ghey- *** question about something as difficult as changing the oil?
