WHats up, i just bought my new 91 crx (HF) 62 horse baby, droping a b16 in it soon. But i just tried to put those white guages in the guage cluster but when i removed the needles the rpm got messed up....what is the coorect way to put these in? can any one help, and i am looking for perfomance parts for my car.

 

Did you talk to anyone about putting these in? That would have been my first suggestion. Anyways I put my gauges on with the needles still attached. As for fixing your RPM needle, I don't really have a suggestion. Maybe start your car, and let it idle, if you know your car, you will know where it idles. If not I don't know what to do.

 

people actually use their tachs? I can probably tell you the RPMs of my car at anytime by just the sound. :/


And, no offense, if you're having trouble with installing these things, what makes you think you'll be able to drop a b16 in it soon?

 

i took my needles off but made sure they went ack the same way.

 

so what exactly is the problem? I have dissasembled and reasembled several of these clusters so I may have an idea how to fix it.

i took my rpm needle off and put the guages on, then put the needle back but then the tach didnt move. So now i have bought a new guage cluster and going to try again, but asking for opinions so i dont **** up this time.

 

Uh ya... don't take the needle off...

They go on without taking the needles off!

 

how do you get them on with out taking the needle off? these are the ones i have... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...13248 i dont see how you get them on with out taking the needles off. but any advice would be good.

 

make sure you didn't push theneedle on too far, if it drags on the face (usually the base of the needle will do this, not the needle itself) it will no move.

ok this exact same thing happened to me too. all i did was take it on and off....wiggle it....push it in half way and turn a little....take it in and out while the car was running, and finally it started working. it was pretty random but i've fixed it this was at least three times now. its really a pain in the *** but it should work in the end. good luck

 

yea...mine doesnt move at all. i have to put teh new cluster on today..ill remember not to put them on to far. is there any thing else i need to know do do this. that way i dont **** up this cluster too.....i put the new guage cluster in last night, but i still ahve one problem. the rpm works but its getting stuck on the gauges it looks like. the needle rubs against the guage or somthing.
