Speedometer replacement to an Autometer?

Post by cjthor »

Anyone do this? I am redoing my dash and decided that I might just want to replace my cluster entirely. Anyone tried? Looks like there are a billion wires attatched to the cluster!

Actually I've been thinking about that for a while, i just wouldn't know what to do about an odometer....

An Rx8-style tach with integrated speedo would be what I would like to have...

Lately, I've been seriously thinking about an S2000 cluster
