that turbo setup makes me jealous, looks so clean.

Washed my car, installed new stereo since old one had some broken buttons that would get stuck.



Will get updated pics of interior tomorrow, showing door panels, center armrest, and stereo.

Will install E3 spark plugs tomorrow along with new passenger mirror(snapped 2 of the 3 mounting areas in the mirror backing out of garage.)

^no need to get a whole new cluster. Just take the old one apart, find another cluster with the same gauge, and swap just the gas gauge.

I have a 2000 Si, those gauge covers are supposed to slide over the needles without taking them off,im looking for a gas gauge right now, the Si's are kinda HTF around here that are wrecked.The gauge covers look nicely made.the canadian Si gauges around here have the fuel and temp needles, all the others just have fuel?Ill see if i can find anEX model around the area to swap out, most people dont want to sell just one gauge ,they want to sell the whole cluster,which is a drag

if i need to, what is the easiest way to pull off the needles?

the needles dont come off! they break!
if your lucky you can search forums or ebay and find another busted si cluster with a good gauge for you, but not very often.

ok kool, thats what i figured,those needles are soooo brittle, i just noticed too that the cluster doesnt say SI on the fuel pod,musta been swapped out to an ex before i bought the car,hmmm, i remember seeing another cluster on ebay that had SI in red lettering on the fuel/temp gauge at the top of the pod.unless that is a US only model car? and not Canada?

this is my first Honda so bear with me lol,just learning the lingo etc etc...
