jdm cluster

Dang, this server is really getting on my nerves...but I wonder why I keep coming back, lol...Anyway, this is what my thread is about...again...

I just bought a jdm cluster on ebay and it says "need 90-91 mounting bracket to fit in an 88 civic", along with professional wiring. Does that include replacing the entire cluster cover? I tried to fit it this afternoon and its not plug and play...Good thing I have an electronic VSS laying around (if I find it), its suppose to work with that type only...Anyone done this before on a 88 civic hatch?:flash:

im almost positive you need the 90-91 hood. You should go down to the pick-n-pull in Hayward or one of the junkyards, E&J's is right down the street from the pick n pull. you should be able to find one there and a mounting bracket too.

Yeah - the hood shape changed between the two.

This is the style cover you need:

Already got one :) but thanks for the offer.:flash:

Just came from Atlanta wrecking yard in Hayward and picked me up a cluster hood and mounting brackets...is it the same for an automatic hood? I havent tried to fit em yet but thats the only one they have there and I bought it. I'll get the VSS tomorrow afterwork and maybe start on the wiring on Sunday. I may do it Friday night in time for this Saturdays meet in Fremont...what do you think?:flash:

Can never get tired of looking at your car man...:D

i love how your climate control to change where the fan blows is push bottons and not the knob that slides...and what is that big empty square on the left side of climate bottons? and do u have both power windows and locks cause i only see one switch next to the door handles

when you lsvtec said something about mounting braket... what does he mean? you mean the metal piece that screws onto the car? you have to ge ta new one of those? my old 88 one worked lol....
