I just picked up a 00 SI and the needle for the temp gauge is missing. I can't seem to find the needle part number it looks like of just comes as the whole temp gauge part.

Any idea where I could find one without shelling out money for another cluster or the whole temp gauge part

 

Try to find a cluster at a junk yard.

 

Take it apart and glue a new needle on there for the cheapest fix
^^;

 

is the needle different on non si clusters?

cuz there is absolutly no chance of me finding an si cluster in a junkyard around my parts

 

For that much trouble, just order a new temperature gauge portion from online Honda parts sites or go to the dealership. Don't ghetto rig it. As for getting a SI cluster from the junkyard...good luck. If you do find one, it won't be cheap.

 

the temp gauge part is cheap, just buy it from the dealer
