haha..i will probably do it. i just dont want my mileage to go up more. i have an 03 and so far it has 13k right now and i'll be trading it in for an s2000 in a couple of months.

Stinks for you if the ECU stores mileage as well. But you are trading the Si straight for an s2000? or paying for what's still needed because s2000 costs more?

It does. That is why when you get a A2 ECU you get the millage off that car.

If you want to cheat the odometer you have to unplug the VSS (vehicle speed sensor).

Read before you ask dumb questions oldschoolimport answered that they will have to suspect fraud first. I am sure if you put a new cluster in they will not suspect fraud cause its an import. A lot of people are changing there gauges now. If you don't do anything wrong then what is there to really worry about. Thats just my 2 cents.

Thats just my 2 cents. if you do put the ctr cluster in, I would document the mileage when you remove your cluster, and the starting mileage on the ctr cluster when you install it with FILM photographs. digital photographs are frowned upon in court because they are easier to alter. with photograph documentation, you will be able to prove how many miles are on the car.

as long as you dont mis-represent the mileage, such as claim that the new clusters mileage is the ACTUAL mileage on the car, I dont think you will have a problem.

Most states have a form to fill out for this. You go to a state office or DMV and they record your old millage and then your new millage.

Very good point about the regular picture vs digital. Never really thought about that.

Thanks oldschoolimport we need to keep this site just the way it is.:D

Never really thought about that. in the E.R. we have to do forensic documentation on crime victims. we got into a discussion about film vs. digital, and having a photography background that kind of stuck with me. lawyers will use ANYTHING against the other side.;)
