Gauge cluster for 91 dx

I know use the search option i did and didnt find what i was really lookin for so anyway.......i have a automatic 91 dx and i want the rpm tach but i dont wanna buy a individual one......i was wondering which ones that will just plug n play for me and if they have the indilgo ones also.......also one more question how do i fix the mileage gauge on the cluster to read how many miles our on the car??? does it go automaticly or something

thanxz

can anyone help me??:confused:

Okay, any 90-91 cluster will fit that has a tach on it.... it can be from a Civic Si, EX, or LX and i believe all Crx's came with a tach.... but since you have a 91 civic, it has to be from a 90-91 model civic or crx, it can't be from a 88-89 because they are shaped differently and its just a huge hassle to get it to fit!

i am thinkin about getin an rpm tach after saying i dont want one lol i dont know which would be easier and if i was to get the rpm tach what would i hook it up to?

if you get an external tach you would have to run wires to your distributor..... not worth the hassle, just get a Si cluster for under 45 bucks off eBay or just go to your local junkyard, they will have em!

will it be a plug and play or what??

You should be able to undo the screws, holding your mileage ticker, and swap them out.

88-89's are not plug and play.

Also, since you have a auto, you need to find a auto EX cluster, that way you will keep your gear indicators. Unless you dont care about those.

or you can just take a needle and move the numbers back, thats what i did when i had my DX.... and screw the indicators, its not necessary..... just look down... ;)

I agree, get a 90-91 cluster, you can fit a 88-89, but its a big hassle to wire it up and there is a gap on the top. the 90-91 is plug-n-play so its easy

Now for the switching your odometers, i have a how-to on my website on how to do this, because this is what I did. the link should be in my signature.

dude...get an external tach ...I have a 5" autmeter phantom tach with shiftlite...I love it....1 wire to the dizzy...then power,ground and lighting......gauges are cool...plus I have phantom a/f gauge and a phantom boost gauge......phantam aka white face...boost gauge is lame though...I don't have a turbo...I'm gonna get a nos pressure gauge for my zex kit....sooner or later..

just take a pin and move the odometer back........ ;) thats what i did!

how with a pin do you roll the odometer back?

first take out the cluster, then take off the plastc covering, then take a pin and where the odometer is, just take the pin and move the numbers back ;) it works perfectly and doesnt break anything!! I did that when i had the DX, i bought a Si cluster with 100+ miles on it and my DX only had like 83, but i rolled it back to 80 :)
