Default gauge swap

okay, i wanted to swap in either SiR gauges or VTi gauges into my hatch. The odometer on the stock gauges reads 75,xxx, if i got some gauges with lower mileage on it, could i roll it <U>forward</U> to match my stock ones?, because i would like to keep an easy record on how many miles im killing my car with, thanx.

You can roll it anyway you like, but do you have the ***** to rip it open and start fooling with ****?

You should be able to swap out the speedometer gauge itself. so no need to roll. its tough as a bitch tryin' to roll the mileage (I tried once).

It is not hard at all, you just remove as much of the **** as you can and there is this little plastic pin like device that you have to pop back a little...

it doent matter because the sir cluster reads in KM and you will rack up alot of KM. it does not read in miles. so when you drive 75 miles your cluster will go up 120 kilometers.
