    regarding MPH vs KPH

    Hey if one were to change the gauge cluster from MPH to KPH would any other parts need changing?

    If the KPH gauges are the same sweep as the MPH versions no change would be necessary... only a mental conversion. The one I saw goes to 190 PKH

    i don't see why would honda made gauges calibrated different in other countries.
    it should be the same.
    I know paul from Russia made gauges overlays and they work just fine on american gauges.

    You can swap the speedo gauge between the same brand of clusters. There are 2 brands. One is Nippon Seikei and the other is Denso. You can't swap them between brands.

    Re: regarding MPH vs KPH

    cool thx
    Yea I was looking at the one for sale by 3gcvc but he wants $140 for the lights and gauges... I'd rather buy a camshaft

    I agree the odometer will be off if I use the kph face but I don't mind, my car says it has 115k miles, thats even less in KM :evil:
    what are the canadian gauges? 180 or 220?

    The Canadian gauge goes up to 220. It has Miles too.

    You car would read more in kms not less.

    If you get a JDM cluster, just swap the engine speedo gauge (not ust the face). Youll keep the milleage and the accuracy. If you get a 180 kmh speedo and only swap the faces, the reading will be off, you would need a 220 kmh
