(A gauge cluster with a rpm,speedometer,gas,etc). i also wanted to kno if i will have to install new wires for the rpm gauge. or e-mail me at [email protected]

umm im pretty sure a Civic EX one will work (96-00) as for the wires, not sure about that, never done this.

yup a 96-00 EX cluster will bolt right in. i just put one in my dx a few days ago

isn't it called a tachometer?

wouldn't you need a wire going from the old tach to the blue wire in the ignition to make it work and also a power source to make it move? I was just thinking about that

no the wiring is already there, there just isn't a tack in the cluster. new cluster should just plug right in and off u go w/ a tachometer in place.

yup just plug all your plugs into the new cluster and it'll all work. like i said above i JUST DID THIS LAST WEEK.

there are other cluster besides the ex that will work but the EX is the cheapest one that has a tach.

Makes sense for you to do it, you'll want a tach once you get that DIY turbo kit installed and up and running!!

I will confirm that it is plug and play, I did the same thing, and I used one from a manual EX, just had to color over the PNRD1D2 nonsense.

works easy, same everything.

Ill also vouch it just plugs in and ready to go.

Wheel I think you meant you got it from an auto? :P
