There are a couple of manual gauge clusters with tachometers in the wrecker yards outside of Whitehorse - from US cars, too. Red Civic north of town, white Civic south of town.

WELCOME TO H-T
and you can probably find a good gauge cluster at the Honda-tech marketplace.
browse around and check all the forums out. we have A LOT to accommodate every need.
GOOD LUCK!

i would go with a gsr or poormans r swap over a b16. the extra torque is a plus for DD and you get some extra top end power.

a gsr is the b18c1 out of a 94-01 integra gsr, or the jdm gsr is a type r motor b18c or b18c5. a poormans type r is a gsr block with a b16 head and type r cams/valvetrain. some people swap for type r pistons and others run with the gsr pistons. its personal choice.
