Re: civic type r
close estimate, but actually thats more like 145mph. the last mark after the 180km is 130mph (just look at a usdm cluster and you can see where this says 180km its 120mph on the usdm, but the mark after is 10 more mph so you do the math. also just to add a little extra info, anytime you have you speedo (if it reads correct...like no crazy diff sized wheels or anything) "pinned" as it will not go further(like where you have the white arrow) us or jdm cluster either you are going about 140-145mph.

Take a piece of paper and put it on the picture provided...(on the monitor)
Place a corner of the paper where the 160KM/H mark meets the outer edge of the speedometer
Angle the paper so it is tangent to the 180KM/H mark at the outer edge of the speedometer
Make a mark on the paper at the 180KM/H mark.
You now have a basic 20KM/H scale.
Start with the corner of the paper at the 180KM/H mark
Line up the edge of the paper tangent to the speedometer at the mark on the paper
Continue around until you meet the mark that the OP made.
You should have had one full distance plus about a half
One full distance plus a half = 20 KM/H + 10 KM/H = 30 KM/H
Since you started at 180 KM/H the estimate speed should be 180 KM/H + 30 KM/H = 210KM/H
210 km/h = 130.48795 mph
...then again Honda speedos over 110-120mph are pretty unreliable.

Re: civic type r
I'm not going to lie, I did go that fast, I know its stupid and reckless, but almost everybody experiences once in their life where they want to top out their vehicle.

Re: civic type r
thats not fast enough. thats about 120-130mph
try making that speedo tapp off the "stopper" on the zero. then thats fast.

Re: civic type r
because it looks way cooler and its a ctr cluster. you dont see the difference? carbon fiber gauge bezel, yellow needles, 10,000rpm, and jdm sweetness!!! also, you hardly go past 100mph anyways...

Re: civic type r
i love scaring the S*** out of my friends. I have a KM cluster too and im going like 70-80mph. and the cluster reads like 120-140km and they bust out with "Damn man slow down." I laugh. HA!

Re: civic type r
me being a man of jdm or ek9 parts understand that very well. (that was a very retarded comment from you) LoL, and i am soon to get one this weekend actually but i dont like the fact that it goes only to 111mph. i would assume since the ek9 has 25 more horses than a b16a2 that it would have a higher hp/kilo reading

1.6km/mile.
Do you think that the only difference between KMH vs MPH clusters is the gauge overlay? You don't think that maybe there's a differently calibrated stepping motor in there?
