So I just picked up a 2000 civic lx 5 speed
Apparently whatever idiot at honda developed the damn thing decided that a tac isn't neccesary...which for me, I guess its really not. I don't like the look of an aftermarket tac; its big and tacky (no pun intended) and looks retarted unless your vin deisel.

What model/year clusters would work with mine, and not have any differentiation between the actualy readings?

I like the Si clusters...and I know the crx will fit.

 

96-00 civic EX/Si
EX ones are going to be cheaper than an Si one.

EDIT:Other clusters are able to fit with modification. But 96-00 will be drop-in basically.
and what do you mean a CRX cluster will fit?!

 

I was told a crx cluster will work great ( someone who might not know what their talking about )

 

Best bet would be for you to find a 96-00 Civic EX cluster.

 

A 97-01 CRV cluster will.

 

Are they plug'n'play in 6th gen civics? And do they all have tach's?

 

Yes and yes. No mod needed.

my buddy has a amber crv cluster (think its stock as amber)

very nice. he got it for 40 bucks.

Personally if I was going to swap my cluster out, the only cluster Id even consider would be a AP1. It's going to cost way more then 40 though, and you have to get the wiring kit.

 

Cool! Didn't know that

 

an LX is supposed to have a factory tach. sounds like someone swapped the cluster out.

 

My buddy's LX didn't have a tach. But I suppose it's possible his cluster was swapped out as well.
