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

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

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.
