@ 94Si Hatch
Dang, I'm thinking about doing the S2K AP1 Gauge cluster swap too. Looks so clean. One question, did you hand paint that Red Honda Logo? Lol.
Where did you get that?


Yes I hand painted it lol, here is the paint I used:

Its funny because correct me if I am wrong, but this steering wheel does not seem to be very common in the egs.

First its a black steering wheel
second it is a non SRS steering wheel with four spokes or arms instead of three.

here are some pics:

I might be selling the steering wheel in the future, I have an OEM genuine honda MOMO F1-Honda steering wheel that came stock with the eg for japan and europe back in 92-95.

have yet to take pics of it, its a little worn, but its quite nice!
It is hilighted in yellow:

@Jr_DSantos
Loving the Cluster , Green fogs & the Retrofit thumb up
got any night time pics of the green fogs


I might have some, I will upload them later, or I will work on getting some better shots of the fogs :thumb:


Here are a few updates, I installed some genuine honda, stanley side markers. I have them set up to stay on with the park lights, and also blink when hazards or turn signals are on. The blinking alternates with the corner lights :D I think these side marker lights look sick on the eg!

I might be selling the MOMO F1 Honda steering wheel as well as my stock black eg steering wheel because I want something different... A friend of mine might be selling me a DC2 non-SRS steering wheel 8)


O and here are my green fogs, more pics (sorry phone camera cannot do justice... :? )

the light is actually more focused and less scattered, my camera sucks lol. These are projector fogs, I took apart the fogs to fit the HIDs, and that’s when I saw a projector lens behind the visible exterior lens.

#289827 Yes the green Fogs are illegal, however, during the day time they look more yellow and they have a yellow lens when turned off so I can get away with it 8) There not too strict here in Canada lol

More green at night=p

did you change the bulbs in your cluster to give it that purple color, or is it just the camera?



And as for the cluster being purple, it was the camera :P
You can change the color though:

#290078 WARNING, LARGE POST :lol: LOTS OF INFO

Really like the Headlight setup, where did you get the headlights and was it hard to do the retrofit?


The retro fit was actually really quite easy, here are the head lights I bought:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/92-95-HONDA-CIVI ... 2c624c8224

spec-D headlights with the black housing.
Then I bought the projectors off of http://www.theretrofitsource.com

These are the D2S mini's with the galting gun shrouds. You can actually buy a kit for them right now:
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/produc ... cts_id=237

I basically baked the headlights in the oven to remove the glass lens from the headlight so I can fit the projectors in. Since I had bought the D2S mini's, they had an H4 bulb size making the end of the projector fairly small. This allowed made the job very easy because all I had to do is place the projector in, and screw on the backing, no cutting required.

Image

Then as for the shrouds, they were too long, so I did have to have them down to fit against the back of the headlight housing nicely. Then once everything was okay, I sealed the glass lens back onto the headlight with a generous amount of silicon, this way no moisture will get in :D

This retro-fit was well worth the money, the light output is very nice! And they are Bi-Xenon, so the high beams are very bright!!!

Wow nice interior dude did you get it custom re trimmed or can you but those doorcards and gaiters? in the uk i can get hold of gear gaiters but not handbrake ones :/ lovving the s2k dash aswell at first i wanted a set for my civic but was put off by how hard people said it was to do :/ how did you go about doing it ?


For the interior pieces, I bought the E-Brake boot and Door Panel Inserts from interior-customs
http://www.shop.interior-customs.com/19 ... ic_c46.htm

The Door Panel Inserts were VERY* difficult to do because it was very hard to line up the red stitch :cry: but the E-Brake boot just simply slides over top of your stock one :D


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here is what I sent to another fellow civic-eg member that was asking me where I got my "aftermarket" wiring harness for the cluster. Since he asked, I decided to give him a bunch of info that helped me with my s2k cluster installation. so enjoy :D

***ALL IMPORTANT INFO READ ALL PLEASE***

I am looking right now for the seller that sold me my ap1 pigtails, but I cannot find his thread...

I bought them off a Honda-Tech member by the name Ketchup.
He was selling both the AP1 and AP2 harnesses that he made himself, sadly like I said I cannot find the thread anymore :?

here is his info on Honda-Tech
http://honda-tech.com/member.php?u=999380295
(YES, he does still make these harnesses for anyone looking to buys ap1 or ap2 pigtails :thumb: )

Best is to send him a PM on Honda-Tech, or email directly, here is his info:
ketchups email address:
ketchups@gmail.com

He told me anyone can email him if they would like to buy them, just say mitch6 gave you his info :thumb:

Now assuming that you are looking to install an ap1 cluster in an eg, you will have to match the pins on the aftermarket pigtail set with the eg pin out.

Here are some helpful links for this job:

EG cluster wiring pin out
http://www.marklamond.co.uk/products/s2 ... out-eg.htm

AP1 s2000 cluster wiring pin out
http://www.marklamond.co.uk/products/s2 ... t-2000.htm

here is the site I used to wire the cluster up, it matches all the eg wires to the ap1 wires:

http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-foru ... bezel.html

However there might be one or two wiring mistakes on this forum, nothing major though. This is why I gave you the cluster pin outs, they are far more accurate. All you have to do is match the Functions.

Also make sure to buy:

1) Speedohealer V4
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SpeedoHealer-V4- ... 3cbf9f57ee
2) Modifry ECT module
http://www.modifry.com/products/ect/index.htm

(you may find the speedohealer elsewhere for cheaper)

If you decide to tackle this project, let me know if you need any help along the way, and I will do my best to help. :D
