    Awesome... I love this cluster. Just got it installed this evening.





    Lots of wiring.. took me a couple of hours to sort everything out.

    Installing it is not for the fait of heart. You literally have to massicure your dash to get it in there. If I wasn't in a bad mood today I probably wouldn't have been able to do it. There was a pile of plastic on the floor when I was done. You even have to use a BFH to adjust the metal pipe frame behind the dash.

    Sorry the video is kinda shaky, I found it kinda hard to drive stick and videotape



    The spedo seems accurate, At first I thought it was fast, but I matched speed beside one of those new civics with the digital spedo in the hump ontop of the dash that you can read from a mile away and it seemed accurate.

    The temp gague might be reading high... it seemed high anyways.

          That is the awesomest thing I've ever seen. I love the tach. Did you have to rig up a speed sensor somewhere to make it work?

                  Excellent stefan, I have done with my digital cluster wiring ready to hook up too. I am glad I was able to help you some with wiring.

                  Did you install the low fuel sensor in fuel pump and the broke lamps checkers?

                  If you think water coolant little high temp, try get coolant temp sensor from Mazda 626.

                    I was watching the video and was like, "wow, he got to 60 fast." And then I remembered that it is km/h not mph. Next time I make it up to Win-a-pig, I want to see your car.

                      No, the speed sensor is in the cluster. And if this is not all awesome enough, there seems to be a speed sensor line out on the cluster which I can use for cruise control!

                      Yes, thank you. That Bk/Gn wire isnt on the diagram for some reason, and it threw me off.

                      No I diddnt, did you look how the low fuel sensor is mounted in the 626? I was wondering how easy it would be to install. The bulb checkers, thats a separate module, right, did you get it? I might go back and grab it.

                      One thing that I did get was the low washer fluid sensor, but I haven't installed it. I think ill wait till next time i take my bumper off to paint it.

                      Dose your cluster have a check engine light? Mine dosent... I'm gonna have to rig something up

                      Yea I was thinking about the temp sensor.. that would probably do it, hopefully the threads are the same.

                      Forsure, still need an aspire swap?
