Gauge Clusters

[vietxxxtasy]

I have a prelude '98 automotice with 97,000 miles on it. I find this gauge prelude '99 automatic gauge cluster that only has 64,000 miles on it. If i relpace my gauge cluster with the other gauge cluster will my car read 64,000 miles?

[Ricochet]

Yes.

[PaulD]

yep, it's also illegal - especially if you are gonna sell it. If you never sell it, no one will ever know

actually how do they know if you have the 64,000 miles istead of 97,000 miles?will the insurance company know? or the cops?

Odometer Rollback is stupid. Everytime you do something like service or smog your car and they register the mileage, if it doesnt add up, then they'll know. Cant you have it adjusted though?

I put a new cluster in my civ, it had* 60 tho miles more then my orginal but i just rolled the odemeter sprocket. I'm not sure if you can make it go forward.

Just change the odometer in the new gauge cluster with the one from the old gauge cluster. Nice and legal, no rolling back to deal with.

And yes, it is SERIOUS trouble to roll back sell a car with an odometer that doesn't show the real milage. The dealerships record milage at every service that car has had, along with when your car gets emission tested, some insurance companies want the milage.....WAY too many ways to get caught doing that.

unless you change your own oil and do all the work yourself

This is putting evil thoughts in my head..

You're missing the point. There are many ways of finding out. The department that deals with car registration (states have different names for it) records milage every time you get a new plate, transfer title, so right there you're screwed. The only way you can alter your milage would be to disconnect the odometer after you let the car get somewhere around 1000 miles on it (they tend to round up to the 1000's when recording it). Then when you go to sell it or get it serviced, you need to reconnect it.

As many ways as there are to trace it back to you, given that someone wanted to, its not worth it for the couple hundred dollars you could make when selling it.
