Prelude to S2000 gauge cluster swap....

[Master Hiko]

i was wondering if anyone has been successful with this. im more or less capable of the slight fabrications i may need to make on the dash (if at all) but i just wanted the input prior to the project on any run-ins i may have. my friend's car was smashed so we parted it out and he gave it to me. basically i would want to remove the tach and speedo and replace it with the new one but i would also like to make use of all the indicators on the s2k's cluster (gas,engine light,door,brake,etc) as well as have the regular indicators on the dash (lude) work too so technically i would have almost two instrument panels. the only reason i would want that is to avoid that long empty dash look but i would sacrifice it to have the s2k's cluster work the way i want since it can display everything in the same amount of space it takes to use the speed/tach on the lude.

i think that splitting the wires for everything except the speedometer and tachometer (since they will be gone) will make my project ideal but i guess the worst case scenario is to route all the wires to the sk2's cluster and not have the ludes dash-indicators work.

basically, i want to replace this:



with this:




and try to keep this working too:

I've always been a strong believer in the fact that if the 92-96 preludes came with a less "battlestar galactica" looking interior, mainly the digital guages, you would have a pretty damn good looking car. With that said, the fact that both the s2k and lude have digital displays would make it seem easier to convert them, but you had better be a hell of a handyman, because you will have your work cut out for you, but i would honestly love to see it happen. I could check with some of the technitions at work (McGrath Honda) and see if they have any insight, because i really really want to see this done. I just recently purchased a 98 prelude instead of a 96 just because of the hideous interior.

Good Luck man!!!
