Default Can I fix my cluster

I messed with it a long time ago, like an idiot.

I pulled out the needles, and the speedometer is up about 10-15 mph.

I have been scared to fix it because I do not want to make things worse.

Thanks.

I have run into that problem before and the answer is no. You will never be able to recalibrate it back to factory setting. Trust me on this one. Although for me it did work once. With the car running pull off the needle, then plug it back in as close as you can to 0, with the car at idle of course. This is as close as you will get it to factory. Why did you pull off the needle anyway if you don't mind me asking? You weren't planning on painting them where you?

Dude, I was just retarted.

I had my stock cluster and got the CRV cluster for free and I wanted like the CRV center plate on my stock center but not the temp or gas because the CRV is a manual.

I actually was going to paint my needles too tho while I had them out.

The beggining of my Honda Enthusiast career...

^^ gps speeds are laggy and not accurate in my experience. tom tom is ussually about 4-5 mph off and a second or 2 slow. this is according to my bone stock STI's computer controlled speedo at medium speeds vs. tom tom.

i like the SOHC Civic Si's idea. try that removoing needle idea. should help :-\

Yeah, I have a GPS, it's right for the most part but sometimes does not catch up for a long time.

I think I'm going to pull the needle and try to turn it more downward.

And if I mess it up... well I was just gonna get a new one anyway.
