If you have bought the speedo from Mugen, how did you swap out the
existing one? The cluster seems put everything in one piece, can you actually
remove it and replace it with the following speedo?

 

All gauges are removable from the cluster. It's held by a few screws and the I/O wiring to send the signals.

 

If that's the case, since the USDM cluster is in miles (both for speed and mileage) wouldn't the number all screwed since the Mugen speedo is in Kilomieters? It's suppose to be in 60miles/hr, now it says 60 kilo/hrs etc....

I am just wondering.

 

yes, it'll all be in km/h so you'll have to do this like dave's car

 

It doesn't alter the scale, the needles move to the same places in USDM and JDM models....instead of 62MPH, it'll be at 100 KPH, but it won't be at 62 KPH for 62MPH which would be way off and useless Hope that's not too confusing.

 

Oh man....that's awesome! Haha. I assume after a little driving, you'd get used to it. At least the numbers are all straight. If I tried doing that, everything would be crooked and sideways.

That's right....I said crooked AND sideways.

 

This is exactly the same as the Euro speedo (besides the Mugen name ofcourse).....

 

i would be more interested in the RPM cluster. I think that meter is pointless.

 

ROFLMAO!

 

46 is the best... Also its off by about 20mph... MDM rock nads....

 

Actually this isn't true of the JDM speedometer. The JDM speedo only goes to 190. The mugen one is the Euro one really which is on the same scale or close to it as the USDM speedo.

yeah the 46mph one r0x0rs. The 90mph one is off by close to 20 mph tiziite.

And yes, the previous owner did it, not me. juju

 

Fibber, we know your mad drunken skils were involved in this one.

 

mebbe. but not likely

 

That's a lot of miles!!!

 

Only a 110K miles.. not THAT bad really.

 

I used to live in Europe and come over to the states often, and in the end you can translate the speed without even thinking about it, especially if you have just a couple reference points like:

60 mph ~100 km/h
90 mph ~144 km/h
145 mph ~240 km/h

Just multiply the mph by 1.6 and you get a good approximation of the km/h

 

hehe...i am a mugen lover!

i think the reason mugen makes a speedo but not a tach is because the stock jdm speedo anyone can peg on their drive home from work...

mugen tops out at approx. 170mph

 

But Citanest is not going to match your CDM red needles. Unless you're going to switch the needles too....

 

That was a good one.

As if people care about "matching"...

 

I don't know why people have an impression that I will buy it. I never mentioned I would purchase it in my post. I asked question because I really wonder it that would be a problem for those in the state. Not that I am interested in purchasing one at all....
