I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

speaking of new posts, someone find me some gauge faces

general car and site related talk and chat.

it's not that I'm not willing to listen, it's that they didn't listen to me. I didn't ask about buying a jdm cluster, I asked if anybody knew where I could find a new inverter or new gauge faces. I'm not spending 200$ on a cluster that doesn't even read mph, "jdm" or not. I didn't think I'd need a lead-in of "don't suggest a new gauge cluster" after I already explained I was looking for faces or a new inverter...

I know they aren't TRYING, but like I said, telling me to buy a new gauge cluster when i alerady stated the only two options I'm looking at makes about as much sense as telling me to buy a horse when I ask if I should get an integra or an s2000 as my next car.

i would try and search for diagrams or info on the inverter. a transistor or capacitor is probably what fucked up in it. if your good with electronics and saudering u can replace those items for next to nothing. thats whut i would suggest.

like everyone else already said, ebay. you should be able to pick up a gauge face set cheap on there (at least a lot cheaper than the $70 you said you paid the first time, or that the retail for).

already opened it up... it's like all hard plastic inside. Dunno if shit melted or what, but it's definitely not repairable.
