how hard is it daily driving with a CTR cluster considering its not in MPH? the rest wouldnt be a problem i am just worried about speeding and stuff without even knowing it which will keep me from ordering this ctr cluster. please someone help thanks

it's not even that hard. if your going 60kmh your really doing 40mph. just flow with the traffic.

if your going 120kmh i believe your doing 75mph which feels kinda awesome.

Yeah it's a pretty simple deal. 160kmh = 100mph. 80kmh = 50mph.

The odometers are in km, too, right?

I ran an SiR cluster for about 2 years, had to switch back to a USDM cluster before selling car. You get used to KMH very fast. To get an estimate on your speed, I basically drop the 0 and multiply the first number(s) by 6 to get MPH. For example, 40 KMH (4 x 6) = 24 MPH, 70 KMH (7 x 6) = 43 MPH, 100 KMH (10 x 6) = 60 MPH.

The following OEM radios will match:

If your car is a 96-98 Civic, you can use a 97-01 ITR or 97-01 Prelude, this will be plug and play.

If your car is a 99-00 civic, you can use a 99-00 Si or 00+ S2000, this will be plug and play.

You could also mix and match, but you will need a reverse harness.

EDIT: I just read in another post you have an Si. The stock radio will match the cluster.

kinda ghetto but i used to have a post-it on my dash with like the 4 most common speed limits and just used that as a reference. i suck at math so i couldnt do the math fast enough while driving hahaha.

LOL, I seen this in pics. After time, you'll memorize what speed is where on the speedo. You'll know that 100 KMH is 60 MPH (62 MPH).

I need a new one but i dont want to buy one from the factory which is why i was thinkin about an aftermarket. but will any s2000 cd players fit? year model? cause i got a buddy who has one out of a 03.

CTR &lt; Canadian Civic Si-R!! (IMO anyway..)

Anyway, I've got a nice story. I let my father borrow my car once cause I was still working on his dc5. After he came back from his meeting he's like (and his english is not 100%):

"What the hell wrong with your car? I drive on the highway going 65-70 and everyone was pass me. You spent alotta of money but your car still slow. Wasting money my son..."

I laugh my *** off, "uh..dad I hope you weren't going by the outter numbers...cause those are kilometers-per-hour, the ones below read Miles-per-hour." I show him the proof and he just shakes his head.

B18Sleeper

dude that sounds like my mom and dad lol. they dont understand anything i do to my car cause i am in the process of painting my car black and they are like it will look stupid why you doing that. why you puttin this "civic R" stuff in ur car lol. and they think building a 400hp motor is like a car you cant keep on the road cause it does like 200mph lol. but that is a funny story man
