i reseted my guage cluster today. i have a fresh motor going in so that is why i did it. this is not intended for odo fraud. here are some pics.

you must take one side of the bar that runs across the top and lift it a bit so the gears are loose. it runs through the gears, the tricky part is making sure the gears line up straight when snaping the bar back in place. this is the final profuct, now all i need to do is calibrate the speedo whenever i get the car running


if this is supposed to be in members forum then please move it.

Good work. Maybe you should remove the "how to" so we don't get a string of odo fraud.

 

Although many people believe that mileage reflects the motor, the odometer reflects the mileage of the chassis. You will devalue your car if it ever gets reported to the DMV. Cars with tampered odometers, regardless of the cause, are considered to be of no value. Just write down or remember the mileage that you put your motor in and you will save yourself a lot of headache in the future. But you are welcome to do what you like.

 

even with a fresh motor in the car, that is still odometer fraud, 'cause the rest of your car has that mileage. i was lucky enough to be able to swap my motor in with exactly the same mileage on it that my car had at the time.

Good how-to on calibrating mileage though. We bought an Si cluster for my wife's car and had to adjust the mileage down. Had my friend who is a Honda mechanic do it.

 

good point about the chassis milage.. i still have the original ODO from the chassis.. ill make sure to write that down.

 

CDM roxors

 

especially if you dont want to know how fast you're going at a glance!

 

I want a CDM gauge cluster. Anyone wanna swap?

 

what for?

 

Cause you guys have the JDM bezel with the Ebrake light and KM/h

 

you want km/h?

 

This sounds like a pretty dumb queston, but say you had smaller than stock wheels on your car and you wanted to sell it, so you calculated out how many extra miles the tires put on your car and set the odometer to what it should be, that wouldn't be odometer fraud, would it?

 

i think so.. tempering with the ODO is a nono. the miles on any car are not accurate, just tell the buyer what happened. but i think if you tell they buyer you changed to odo back then he would understand until he went to get it inspected. then it would show up as "odo has been changed" on the carfax report.
