Successful Gauge Cluster Swap

[Kioshi]

do it, kilomters is fun. I'm running an RS cluster, did one early oil change, and now I am set...every 8000kilomters for oil change.

And on a side note...dealers can pull the actual mileage of your car regardless whether the cluster says one thing or the other. I've already told my dealership about it, 1800mile difference...and they dont seem to care~~

If you are driving the car down to the ground, who cares...free to do whatever you feel like w/ it. And if trade-in time comes, they can send the cluster to a company and have them calibrate to correct engine miles..it's a win-win deal, as long as you are honest as possible w/ the people~~

Really? Lol the entire San Francisco to LA trip and back was on my stock cluster. Well doesnt matter, my "real" mileage is still way under the warranty miles per year.

other thing to keep in mind(in canada at least) when u renew ur ownership every year u write down ur millage and the government keeps it on file....

Each province is different i guess. Registration renewal does not require the mileage to be written down here. The only time the "approx" mileage is given to the registrations (SAAQ in Quebec) is when you sell the car. Then the mileage you TOLD them is written down the system. When the next time the car is sold, well, either you lie or the cluster is not right, they will know.

Either way, it is illegal to roll back the mileage on the cluster to convince someone the car has less mileage than it actually has. Nothing stops you from having a 19k km cluster on a 230k km car at the time it is being sold.. You cannot hide the fact the car has 230k.
