Default Is there a way to add miles to my odometer?

I just bought a 99 Acura CL cluster with 111k miles on it, and my car currently has 170,xxx. Is there a way I can add miles to the odometer w/o driving another 60k.

i dont know if thats possible esp. if its a digital mileage. and dont know if it is illegal or not.

best way is go to dmv and get that cluster certified or something that it is less miles than the car.

If the odometer is analog, and not directly attached as part of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), you may be able to swap out PCB and use the original odometer. I don't remember how the 99 cluster looks like.

But, looking at the diagram for a 99 Accord, it looks like the odometer (digital?)may be part of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB):

Could you take a picture of the clusters you have? Also, why are you swapping the clusters, speedometer doesn't work, etc.?

If Ferris Bulers Day Off has taught us nothing else, we should of atleast learned that if you jack up a Ferrari and drive it in reverse, the miles dont roll back, keeping this in mind, you gotta drive it, I dont think you can crank it manually because I think theres supposed to be a safty tab in one of the drums to prevent someone from tampering with the ODO. Or, maybe thats only to stop you from rolling it backwards.
