323 cluster?

[Festiva_tunner]

If I remember right someone moded the 323 cluster in - it required some cutting and custom covering to make it work as well as some wiring changes - i cant remember who though

^^EbayUK look for someone parting a Kia Pride. Although you either have to move the pins or swap a US circuit board on the back.

The easiest plug and play speedo that goes over 85 is a Kia Pride one from England. It goes to 110mph! Looks like this.

That would do nicely. Are they available still? Who do you gotta know?

Greg, tomorrow's gonna get pretty hot--about 48 degrees--so I might pull the 323 cluster to compare the overall size of it, and the connections on the back, to the Festy one.

Someone needs to find the old pdf's that you could print, Or someone get creative.

The first-gen 323 cluster looks about the same as the Festy one in overall shape; that is why I am asking about it. I'm trying to avoid swapping speedos and custom faceplates.

um for the festiva the protege cluster is best bet for least amount of modding. all you do is swap the speedo mechanism. also a custom face plate will have to be made. i am doing this swap when i buy the cluster.

Did a search on "Mazda cluster" to try and find out if a 323 instrument cluster will fit directly (or with minimal mods) into a Festy. No luck.

I'd like to find a Gen 1 (1986 - 89) 323 tach cluster and stick it into my blue Festiva to get a speedo that goes over 85. I want it to be pretty much plug and play tho.

And I need another one to put into my 323, which tragically does not have a tach; but at least the speedo goes to 120.
