1. this is not a Honda
2. its not the same size as our cluster
3. this mod serves no purpose other then being "JDM TYTE YO!"
4. the amount of work it would take to get it to fit and work properly would be crazy expensive and POINTLESS!
5. go buy a honda if you want a honda cluster, there are many people who would appreciate your car alot more then you do.

It is a better looking cluster, but it would be a lot of work to make fit. I'd imagine if you get a hold of the pin out diagrams side by side for the gauge clusters, you could probably make it work. But fitting it dimensionally is where the challenge is.

No he's more or less telling you how it is... if you're looking for a digital gauge look into these for the evo..

You seriously need to get laid, and you should stop wasting your time posting useless information.

1. You're right, this is not a honda. But that doesn't change the fact that s2k cluster is way better looking, especially for those who prefer digital vs analogue.
2. Its not the same size? Wow, genius, im sure noone was aware.
3. It's just another mod. Everyone has some degree of mods on their car that serves no purpose. But its just part of Modding to preference, maybe you just follow trends.
4. There's a lot of threads and builds that cost a lot of money, but people do it for a reason. Something different, and or like the challenge. So dont bash them for trying to do so.
5. Maybe you should go buy another car, and join another forum where they're looking for retards that like to post information with no value.

Unless you are doing the work yourself it won't be just $300. There's alot of wiring to do going into another Honda, imagine into an evo. Your gonna need speedo converter and temp converter additionally, and then u have to figure something out about the acd lights since you have an evo ix. Then u have pay for fiberglass or carbonfiber fab if you can't do it yourself.

So what I'm saying is, its probably gonna be more then just the cost of the cluster. Also remember if you have to sell the car for whatever reason, the next potential owner might not like that, and since it's not easily reversible, it could become hard to sell. Of course it's your car and u can do as you please, just giving you something to consider.
