using all of $5 in materials i was able to get both of them running simultaneously. The 3button is buried in the dash, still counting away, and the 5button is in the front, showing 115000 LESS KM lol.. but im hoping some day to have it reprogrammed, but this is the cheapest best solution!
(i took a ton of pics along the way, thinking of doing a write up)
Nice job sir.
To all the fellas out there with ladies to impress
It's easy to do just follow these steps:
1, Cut a hole in a box

nice job..
why leave the old dic in there?
isnt the purpose of doing this is to replace the old one
the old one still counts the mileage too. this way for resale im not trying to scam km's also for any kind of servicing where they need my proper mileage
do they not tell you the mileage on the cluster?
no the cluster/speedo just has speed, rpm, gas, temp. no counter like the 97-03's
well thats dumb, good for you being smart enough to leave the old one in there,
you know they can see the org. mileage with scaner through the obd port..but either way it works
yeah i know they can, which is why in not worried, but i dont wanna run into issues.
i was trying to figure out what the extra box was for..but you are in canada so they may make a fuss alot it
i got my test panel finished today, gotta still compare it to the car, but off hand it looks IDENTICAL!!!
Started with this:
http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/99bac2f4.jpg
sanded that with 400/800 just to scuff.. then self etch prime, then fill primer (will be using the fill only when i do the spoiler since its just plastic)
then used my fancy rattle can of paint, then clear.. then wet sanded 1000/2000/3000 then buffed it with Meguiar's ultimate compound... to end up with THIS
