Hi people,

I have a 98 Civic LX, and up here in canada that means its a
bare nuts vehicle, not even a tach!  I've seen a whackload
of these clusters on ebay, I assume that most people
replace with JDMs or something.  

So I want a tach, but I have a few questions about that:

1.  Does the new cluster just drop in and work?  or will I
have to run a wire for the tach?

2.  All the clusters on ebay are in US measurements (ie
MPH), and I need KM/H and Kms for the odometer.  The
question here is, can I just swap my current speedo gauge
into the new cluster (thus also avoiding any funny
business with swapping Odometers)?  The scale is the same
on the gauge.  The only concern I have is that the
odometer is going to be reading wrong.  Are my suspicions
correct?

Thanks for any replies.

Thats what I said.  I wanna put one in, and most of the
ebay dudes say it drops right in, with no modification.
