#341807 [vent]

So I pulled my Sedan into the shop to patch a portion of the exhaust, which involved putting a new sleeve in place. That was the easy part. But then i'm sitting there in the car letting it idle and then decide that now's the perfect time to pull my gauge cluster out and figure out why my speedo was being finicky and fixed itself temporarily whenever I pounded on the dash.

I pull it out, check the screws and grounds and such and put it back in. Well now a light went out, so I pull it again and twist the bulb, and it comes back on. Apparently the circuit board was off a little, so I check them all and put it back in, and now my fuel gauge drop down to zero and my temp gauge shot to max. So I pull it again and check it and now my temp gauge dropped down to zero and wont respond.

Long story short, my fuel gauge, temp gauge, and possibly my speedo don't work anymore! I searched on here and discovered that if you tighten the screws (like I did), you risk breaking the copper and I think I did that across the board, and I think there's a ground out in the flexible circuit board because the dimmer flickers everything when it's turned low...

And icing on the cake, I'm pissed off and I vent to my boyfriend what happened and he tells me to just calm down and get one from a junkyard. Never tell your pissed off girlfriend/wife, transgender or not, to calm down, it only infuriates her...

[/vent]

So now I need to get two clusters from junkyards. One for the Sedan, and I wanna swap out the Integra cluster in the Hatch because the odometer doesn't work at all and the tach jumps all over the place after 4k RPM...

I'm not worried about it being a bolt-in or weld in at the moment, just seeing if there is anything already chassis made. I'll possibly be running in the 10.50 index this year, depending on what I'll need to pass tech I might just stick with the 11.50 index. Thanks peeps!

every cage ive seen in an eg sedan has been custom.
auto power makes one for the integra sedan, could probably make that fit with a little modification. :?

I just saw this question lol. I use my timing gun. Loosen the three bolts and set it with the marks on the pulley with the ECU in diag-mode. On both engines, it seems to be rocked back some.

#346611 PSA: When installing new CV shafts, make DAMN sure they are fully seated into the transmission.

Otherwise 2 miles down the road on your test drive, you'll hear a POP and be stranded and have to be towed home by an F150...

That'll teach me to doublecheck...

I was at a stop sign and started to turn left, when I heard a loud POP and then the car wouldn't go anywhere in any gear. I swear my first thought was I blew the clutch! My poor baby is in the garage waiting for me to fix her tomorrow.
