EDM kluster
So i paid way too much for this but i couldnt help my self...
first, the stock vx cluster...
Now if you have never taken a cluster out of the 92-95 civic, dont start by ripping apart the dash..! haha. I really should have looked it up first, but i had some time and wanted to see thing for my self. this is where i ran into a few wires that were hooked up to the harness but i have no idea what they are for... any one ??
But anyway, after finally figuring out that the hazard button had a screw behind it...!@@#E#, I finally got the piece off that was in front of the cluster. Where i also found that the kar was wired for abs and yet has no abs... no loss since the EDM cluster has to input for the abs plug. And the final product....
the sirII cluster with out the white face !

Re: EDM kluster
Being unique and original is one thing (although vastly impossible to achieve in the Honda/Acura "scene/community/game" whatever you want to call it), but using the letter "K" in place of the letter "C" makes you appear illiterate and uneducated, not to mention it is rather annoying from a readers perspective.

Re: EDM kluster
I have never understood the replacement of a stock cluster with either the EUDM or JDM cluster. I mean just because your redline says X instead of Y doesn't mean your car can acutally rev any higher...safely.
Now if you drop in a JDM or EUDM engine that has been built to rev to X instead of Y then you have something. But the cluster alone means nothing.
Also, you can buy amber light bulbs, leds, or vinyl coverings almost anywhere. So, your choice of lighting is really only limited too your ability to find a light bulb.
And using phonetic spelling not only makes it harder to understand what you are attempting to say but it is also not terribly original. Advertisers have been doing it for centuries in an effort to make the mind stop and struggle with the misspelling in a vain attempt to cause you to pay more attention to what they are saying than their competitor.
PROPS for doing a good job with the installation. Looks like it came that way stock. Which I am guessing was your goal.

Re: EDM kluster
Why wouldn't it look like it came that way from the factory, it is a OEM cluster in the chassis that it was intended for? It is literally unplug the connectors for the old USDM cluster, plug them into the EDM "kluster" and put the stock panels back.

Re: EDM kluster
phonetically, wouldnt a "k" be easier to read since it only makes one sound vice "c" which has more then one ? either way, english is pretty much a horrible language to criticize....
i guess i can change it to make the readers happy...
