I've posted a number of messages on this forum and I appreciate everyones help, so thanks to all.
My concern today surrounds my '98 Civic Lx's lack of a tachometer, which I would find very useful as my car is equipped with a manual transmission.
As of late I've been considering replacing my OEM gauge cluster with that of a similar year Si or Ex model; both having the tachometer I seek.
I've asked a few Honda dealerships if installation of a new gauge cluster would be a simple process of removing the old, and replacing it with the tachometer equipped cluster - their answer was that such an operation would necessitate re-wiring the car to the tune of a few hundred dollars. I have neither the will nor the inclination to spend a few hundred dollars fooling with the wiring in my car, nor to install an aftermarket tachometer.
Acquiring an Si or Ex gauge cluster is a non-issue for me as there is a ready supply of them on e-bay for little money.
Does anyone have experience regarding this procedure?
