I don't know but I am selling one right now for sure cheap!!! haha, shameless plug. Have you replaced the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the tranny? try taking it out and seeing if it is stuck or dirty, may need to be replaced or cleaned...

I honestly don't know how many miles are on it, I bought it a long time ago looking to do EL swap but never got around to it, and now that I have a 5th and am selling my 4th I am getting rid of excess parts- I am not sure if there is a difference between the prelude vtec and the prelude si in terms of cluster (somebody else wanna chime in here) but the one I have red lines at about 6800 RPM (of course it is not plugged in so the gauges are hard to read). I bought it in perfect working condition HOWEVER i cannot validate this and take no responsibility if I was ripped off and that passes on to you therefore $40 plus $15 for shipping is what I would sell it for... this is much cheaper than I bought it for but do realize there is risk (very minimal) involved... PM if you are interested, if you send your email address I'll send pics.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly miles were around 160k but I could just be pulling that out of my ***...

Mine is accurate up to 100 km/h....and then after that it seems to be off 5 km/h for every 10 km/h I accelerate. So 110 km/h on the dash is 105 km/h, and at 120 km/h im actually going 110 km/h.

I've just gotten used to it, and learned to drive accordingly.
