just tell them the true mileage. It is against the law to change odometer readings. Plus it is EXTREMELY hard, there was a write up on Honda Tech about it

damn this really sucks.


on a side note. would anyone like to buy my cluster. $250 shipped thats as low as i'm going.

simple way of doing this. subtract the km of which you think the cluster had when you bought it from how much it has now. convert it to miles. then if you have the oe cluster add the ones from the ek4 cluster to that and just tell them that it has approxamatly xxxxxx miles on it.

If you take the cluster out of your dash and take it apart you can turn the miles back. It only takes a few seconds to take it apart but you can only go 1 mile at a time so its going to take an assload of time to knock off alot.

Umm...here's an idea.

Why not just keep the car? There's nothing wrong with it is there? You just got it about 2 or 3 years ago.

Idea #2. How much do you want for it? PM me.
