If only we had an imagine like this for our dials...

But either way I found this...

Obviously Auto, but it's the essentially the same as yours. That one was from a 92-93 4WS-VTEC.

Similar..but it doesn't have the 'NS' logo or the '90' mph number on it.

And yeah, it would be pretty useful if we did have an image like that with all our dials. :)

If you fit UKDM EL's, you can avoid the need for a converter entirely. As you've swapped the ECU, you'd be left with VTEC in every gear and no limiter.

Nice one. So do UKDM ones go straight in, or do you still need to get the loom?

And do the JDM & UKDM ones look any different?

You either need the loom, or you'll need to (quite significantly) butcher the existing.

They look exactly the same, just one has an mph scale and one has a kph scale.

The ukdm ones only go to 120 the jdm ones to 180...
both require loom from facelift ukdm or a lot of splicing wires in....
