Why do people but a GS-R cluster into a EG hatch? What pluses does it offer?

 

a tach, if you havea GSR engine dont you think it would be nice to have a tach with the proper redline?

 

proper redline

think if you have a gsr motor, it is nice to have the gsr cluster

 

Plus it looks nicer .... more sporty.......

 

i must admit, the bigger tach and speedo do look impressive

 

Ok, cool.

What's the name of the guy on her who makes these?

 

huh?

 

I was told someone here on Honda Tech takes GS-R clusters and fits them into EGs. Is this easy to do? Can I do it myself?

 

Hell yeah you can do it yourself! Why not?

 

there was a guy on here that made the gsr cluster fit in a 92-95 civic housing. it was nice and clean because he would bondo the bezel to make it flawless.

 

Yeah I know who your talking about, jsut forget the user name. But he wanted like 200 or more US for one. That's like over $300 Canadian. So I want to know how to do this myself. Does any know how to do it?

 

heres a 2001 GSR cluster in my 99 DX Coupe.....i did it so that i could have a tach and still retain the stock look from the outside

 

FifthGear: How did you fit that thing in?

 

it looks like you need some gas

 

his car is off

 

even with the car off, the needle stays where it is. go check yours

 

that pic was taken while it was being installed.......

i just have it sitting up on top of the walls where my old cluster sat. Ghetto i know, but it doesnt move at all.

 

two words: amber lighting

i hate my ek9 cluster, can't wait to put my gsr cluster in.

 

I'm about to swap a 97 GS-R cluster into my CX. I like the needle layout better than the civic one, and it's alot easier and cheaper to find GS-R and other 6G clusters than 5G civic ones

 

So does this person who makes these GSR clusters fit an EJ1?..does it require extensive rewiring to your own civic ? And i'm assuming the the $200+ cost of this means you have to purchase a GSR cluster and send it to him correct? I am suddenly interested in this...mmmm

 

well the "person that made my GSR cluster" was honda.....you take it out of an old GSR, re wire your plugs, and place cluster in car......about 120 bux max

 

heres how mine is in the car with out that bezel thingy

edit: sorry for the green line, my digital camera is dieing

HOLY MOTHER F*CKING SH*T............A GSR REDLINES AT 8,000 RPMS!!!!!
My mom's Toyota Camry Solara has 160 hp and redlines at 6,000rpms possibly 6,100 rpms if i'm misreading......how is this possible........also isn't the highest revvving automobile the spoon s2000 at 12,000......and thats a freak.....the gsr is a commuter

 

that's not how it is with honda's, although some cars do do it

 

Way to go, Captain Obvious!
