Cluster ****

hi, I found a cluster for my cavy, where it's reprogrammed to change the stock 115 spedo to a 140 one. Plus on top of that, you can have it whatever color you want, with lights whatever color you want, SWEET, lol. anyway, here comes the question for all you cavalier specialists. If I bought one, that had a tach built into it, could I posibibly rig up a way of that working. I know I can't just plug it in and have it start working b/c the harness coming into the cluster doesn't have that on it, but couldn't I hook it up by running wires to where they need to be? I'm thinking I could. But I hope i'm right, cuz I don't wanna waste 200 bucks.

and before anyone says, blah blah blah you don't need to go that fast, and blah with the whoel vss thing, I don't care. I like the way it looks, and i'm getting it for the tach anyway....k

do you have a pic of this cluster...and were are you getting it from?

I'm pretty sure you actually do have the wiring already going there. All you need to do to get a tach in a cav w/o a tach is swap to a cluster that has a tach and it works right away.

Don't know why this would be different for yours.

only problem is, it's for a 2000..I asked about making me one custom tho.

they are bloody expensive...ok they recalibrate the clusters...but damn....i did like the one that said 220.. but no price or anything...

I know for a fact that in the 2000+ Cavy's you can just switch the cluster with one that has a tac and it will work. I'm not sure about the 99 and below though.

Already checked on the custom one they are not going to make one at all.

me too, damn, I was hoping with two requests right in a row, real quick, they would have said yes, lol. Oh well.

The whole reason for that was for the white face with the red lighting. Does anyone know where I can find that? besides on a z24, lucky bastards, lol.

They will make you any color combo you want you just can't get the 140mph version. But other then that you can get whatever you want from them

yeah, but I have a sucky cluster with 3 gauges...I want one with a tach built into it..i'm so picky, lol.

Buy stock guages with a tac, and check out www.speedhut.com
I'm not sure if they make overlays for your year model, but you can check there.

That was my next plan, buy stock cluster w/tach, and then get the overlays...good to know we're on the same page tho, thanks, lol.

so does anyone know anywhere I could actually buy stock clusters? I've done checked ebay, lol.

Ebay would have been my option...that's where I got mine. Other than that junk yards.

I looked on ebay and could only come up with a stock cluster for an auto with no tack. what about going to a junk yard and looking for a cluster there????

okay new plan. What If....I found a wiring diagrahm that explained what every wire coming into the instrument cluster did. And then I bought that 140mph cluster for the 2000, and found out whatever every slot going into the cluster was for...and then I hardwired it myself!....I know it's a lot of work, but I super want a tach inside my cluster and not just sitting on my dash... Does anyone know where I could find such diagrahms and if you think doing that would work?...The only problem I think may lie in my digital odometer. Questions? Opinions? Hate Mail?


oh btw, i'm not a noob anymore, lol.

i like the cluster you chose.very nice but why dont they have prices on some of thier clusters?

lol and good luck

that would be a cluster fuck

that would be a cluster fuck

hence the title, lol

i love car domain

detailed instructions on a cluster swap, of course I already knew how to take my dash apart..i've done it a thousand and one times, lol. But the whole theft system thing, if that would have happened to me I would freaked out and probably started like hyperventilating, lol.

so, just HOW alike are cavys and sunfires...
http://www.blackcatcustom.com/Sunfire.htm
underneath the first sunfire cluster listing it says "Cavalier and Sunfire clusters are also interchangeable, adding yet another possibility to change the look of your dash."
so...like really? cuz that would be neat, have a sunfire cluster in your cavy.. I wonder if any cardomain cars have it, lol...

I'm sure its possible. If you really wanted you could probably convert your whole cavy interior over to a sunflower interior :lol:

i found cavy convertables with sunfire fronts...doens't look that bad actually...as far as the gauges go: 110 bucks on ebay... :( I was looking more in the range of like 30, lol. Do I NEED a 99? or could i get like a 95-99 one...? grrr

find out how much it would cost for shipping for my cluster

lol i get free shipping so if you wan to ship it USPS let me know, I'll send you some postage and a insurance thingy, just have to give me all teh info and i'll ship you the rest so you can ship it to him ahhh more confusion
