Pro tip: the 96-00 acura el is a Civic in disguise and it's STEERING WHEEL is exactly the same as an EM1 steering wheel but with an Acura symbol in the middle. So if you want the leather wrap(like I do) but don't want to spend the EM1 prices keep an eye out for the Acura el wheel. They're half as expensive... For now.
just bought my first car a few months ago and every time I watch your videos it gets me thinking about getting a base model 6th gen civic to clean up and daily. something about the styling and interior of that car just appeals to me so much! clean ones are so hard to find up here in canada, even when i do they're always asking an insane price.
This takes me back. I had an Black 99 EK Sedan EX 5spd that I purchased in 2003 and sold in 2013. I had a B20Vtec (High compression B20 block with GSR head, SK2 Stage 1 cam, SK2 Manifold, and a couple other goodies)...Anyway, I had swapped in the 99 Si Cluster in it...Oh the memories...
I agree with you on all fronts. Especially not using the 2 LED's on top of the cluster. I had before and it was simply WAY to bright,to the point of a distraction while driving at night.
Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 Im only a student and I just bought my honda civic with my own money. You inspire and give me motivation on building my EK 🙂
I have an auto EX and swapped in an auto CRV cluster with no problem. I also wanted to change the color of the light shinning down, so I pulled out the old blue shade and incandescent bulbs, then swapped in some RGB LED strip lights. I hooked them up to a PWM controller so I can change the color.
Coming back to this video and looking at em, I have the 1st Gen Auto CR-V cluster in my 97 Coupe DX, so whoever last did it put that in. But the auto version in fact does work.
Found a crv cluster on ebay in the middle of watching this video the other day. Bought it immediately @ $120. Dig your videos man. The explanations, process, production quality. Dead on.
I just bought a 99 EJ8 coupe (EX Coupe) last month. It came with the EX cluster with a carbon fiber overlay, plus the AP1 S2000 steering wheel, which was exactly what I wanted (didn't really have the carbon overlay in mind).
The VTi Jordan cluster is another. Hard to find, but it's more aggressive than the EX Cluster, looks better than the CR-V or EL stuff, and is still cleaner than the Si/R cluster. I have one sitting in my closet and yet I no longer have an EK to put it in.
When i pulled my D16 swap from the other civic couple months back it had 70k miles only reason im changing my cluster miles is cause i myself know the real miles on the swap. But lowering without knowing the miles on a swap to flex or sell as low miles isnt good to do.
Man I just love your civic. Right now I just have an old S-10 as my daily but I'm saving up to get hopefully a prelude in that same color. I don't want to have a project car as my daily so that's why I bought my truck first. But your civic just looks great I like how you mod it but don't make it look ridiculous like something I would have made in need for speed when I was 10.
I think the Logo on the cluster would be cool. You already have a super clean civic so if it is considered a bit "tacky" it just makes it more personal and unique.
I have an imported USDM civic dx and I live in europe. I just took a EDM cluster out of a 1.4 and swapped out the speedometer for the USDM one. So i have a tach and all that but still have my original mileage. EDM clusters are plentiful and not very expensive
Glad ive already got an si cluster and s2k wheel lol. Also yea auto crv clusters work i used to have one with a piece of electrical tape over the gear selector lights
I like the AA logo idea, but i wouldnt cover the si. My opinion i would try to match the font style and put the AA on the lower side between temp anf fuel. Or maybe under the tach?
If you have a friend from the PH going back to the states you can have an SiR cluster from the PHDM model which amber lights, amber needles, 9k rpm, but has still blue meter rings, the better SiR gauge i think is from Canada which has mph kph readings and an actual SiR logo on the bottom part of the speedometer. Btw also the SiR fog lamps would be nice on your coupe.
I personally have white LED's on all 3 clusters, and the top 2 and it's not that bright, to me. I was gonna leave the top 2 as halogen lights but it didn't blend at all.
@@ALLDAYANTHONY really cool video and very indepth. I've been dying to do a cluster swap for a while, but I'm not doing cosmetics until I finish up the suspension
Good stuff, Err' Day. In your next cluster video, maybe talk about cleaning up/polishing the salvaged clusters. Also, if the SI cluster is so sought after... You probably shouldn't be covering it up with a decal? Last thing you want is that sticker just oozin' in the middle of the summer lol
I have a question for anyone who might know the answer. I bought a jdm Ek civic, and the cluster doesn't have an rpm gauge. If I pop out the speedometer, so that it stays in kmh and has the odometer, can I put that into an American cluster? Would that work, or would the speed be off on it?
@alldayanthony auto cluster does work on the civic however they come with an overdrive light which will not light since in my case my EK does not have overdrive and there is a second crv guage cluster that has D4,D3,D2 & 1 and again my stock cluster only has D4,D3 & 2. Is there a crv cluster that has D4,D3 & 2 only?
Would you consider selling any of the clusters? I’ve been looking and there just a little pricier then i think one’s worth. Or could you point me in a good direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I personally like the logo idea, since it isn’t an si. You should do it
I think so too!
You are the reason I just bought my civic coupe Anthony
Same here
Just to let you know that I swapped the auto cr- v cluster into my 99 Civic auto and works like factory. Cool mod. Thanks for the tip.
I bought a CRV model Manuel from Europe 👌🏽🔥

I found my SI cluster at the junk yard $25 huge score.
That is a huge score for sure
i got mine for free with my si
@@brendon6618 that only counts if your SI was free or did you have to pay for it.🤔🤷♂️
Just snatched a CRV cluster for free
Use red sharpie to color needles. If u use paint the needles get to heavy for steeper motor. And will stick on hot days.
Sharprie goes hard!
Use another brand. Sharpie intentionally makes inks and dyes that are sensitive to uv light. Especially the blues man

You’re gonna blow up I know it... just a matter of time and you’ll hit a mil, I’m glad I’m here early to watch you grow :D
That Cr-v cluster swap is actually genius
I just bought a 99 EJ8 coupe (EX Coupe) last month. It came with the EX cluster with a carbon fiber overlay, plus the AP1 S2000 steering wheel, which was exactly what I wanted (didn't really have the carbon overlay in mind).
Sounds like the steering wheel was a big score!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Yeah, it was. In fact, im only 13 lol.
Just got an 99 EK and I love your videos, really helping me out with what mods I want.
Awesome man congrats. Thanks for watching

I don’t own any Honda’s I own an ‘95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST & I watch and love your videos bro
Here 2years late just did a full gsr swap into a 2000 ej8 after blowing the questionable when I bought it d series😂 sick content man
u can ajust the civic ex cluster to match the si cluster rpm limit and put an overlay on it to mske it matcg
I liked my crv cluster, the red/orange glow was a nice touch for night drives
When i pulled my D16 swap from the other civic couple months back it had 70k miles only reason im changing my cluster miles is cause i myself know the real miles on the swap. But lowering without knowing the miles on a swap to flex or sell as low miles isnt good to do.
I have a crv cluster in my coupe couldn't be happier. Also you can use a auto cluster I have it in my 5 speed.
I just got a broken si cluster and put the faces and needles on my ex cluster and changed the miles to the miles on my swap
That’s another way to do it! Removing the needles is a bit sketch though
I use 2 spoons and pry it straight up and chance faces to the type r ones si mugen ect... its easy
On tonight’s episode of Cluster Hoarders......😉
It really do be like that G
I own a ej, wonder if that's the same.
I have a 98 DX Hatch and i swapped in an EM1 leather wrapped steering wheel and an RD1 MT Instrument cluster. Both direct swaps.
Yep the steering wheels are direct. Good for having the leather over here rubber grip
I’ve never been a civic boy (CB7 Accord here), but your videos make me think just a bit about it.
Do it!
EM1 Clusters have already been fetching $450 just an FYI thats typically what they are listed for on ebay
This what I’ve been waiting for a CLUSTER SWAP
Well don’t get too excited lol
You can swap in an auto cluster. I had to about 7 years ago because my original ex 5 speed cluster died.
Man I just love your civic. Right now I just have an old S-10 as my daily but I'm saving up to get hopefully a prelude in that same color.

Thanks man! Highly recommend getting a civic :)
I did auto crv cluster and out it in my 99 ek sedan auto and works great!
Hell yeah!
I prefer the OEM look as well but I do like the simple white overlays that just stick over the black gauge faces.
I found a real piece of carbon on a cluster in the junkyard was super suprised as knowing carbon probably cost more then a cluster from a junkyard
God bless your civic uploads. I cant get enough.
Thanks for always coming to watch!
Got JDM Integra SI-R cluster in mine, love it so far
swapping my 99 Honda civic Lx cluster “automatic with rpm guage”, and putting a crv cluster in it, same generation.
I never liked the SI logo and I swichted with a CRV overlay on the fuel and temp area
I think the Logo on the cluster would be cool. You already have a super clean civic so if it is considered a bit "tacky" it just makes it more personal and unique.
That’s what I was thinking
You can also plug n play a domani cluster and they look better than all of them IMO
the tint looks sooooo gooooood
I have an auto crv cluster. Swapping it out for an ex cluster so it doesn’t have the gear selector on it.
Nice!
Auto clusters and Canadian Acura EL clusters also work
The cx hatch came with the ex cluster as well
From my knowledge the CX did not come with a tach. Unless some models were different?
I have an imported USDM civic dx and I live in europe. I just took a EDM cluster out of a 1.4 and swapped out the speedometer for the USDM one. So i have a tach and all that but still have my original mileage. EDM clusters are plentiful and not very expensive
Bro not gonna lie I love watching your videos an also seeing my company sticker on your garage doors haha sick....
I have an auto crv cluster in my 98 ex b16 swapped civic. Works perfectly.
Just ordered the all amber one for the EK
Glad ive already got an si cluster and s2k wheel lol. Also yea auto crv clusters work i used to have one with a piece of electrical tape over the gear selector lights

Dang, I just ordered a EX cluster for my DX. Now after watching this video I wish I ordered the CRV one 😆 O well
I like the idea of your Logo on the cluster but maybe put it under the Si logo because I love the look of the Si
Lol where I’m fron the ctr is just around $300, we got a lot of half cuts civics including the ek9
because of this video i just went through my channels and i fouind a m/t 99/00 siR cluster with 177km on it...will have a shipped quote on it soon.
Hell yeah man! Score
@@ALLDAYANTHONY you'd be mad at the prices. cheaper than an dx cluster on ebay. lofl

got a Canadian crv cluster on the way
you should cover vti cluster aswell
If you have a friend from the PH going back to the states you can have an SiR cluster from the PHDM model which amber lights, amber needles, 9k rpm, but has still blue meter rings, the better SiR gauge i think is from Canada which has mph kph readings and an actual SiR logo on the bottom part of the speedometer.

The SiR cluster is good looking as well
I have a D series so I'm going with EX cluster. Cool video. 👍
@MaacAtlas what would you suggest for a stock look?
Ex or CRV cluster would be good options
@MaacAtlas I have a manual..do you know if its compatible with the EK? or do I have to get different connectors.
@MaacAtlas thanks for your help. The crv does look alot better. I'll start looking.
@MaacAtlas yea I seen that. Its just that he didn't know if it was a direct plug and play.
What about Honda Del Sol cluster? REV 8,000 RPM.
Did you change the tint? It looks darker, I love it!
They are 18% :)
I personally have white LED's on all 3 clusters, and the top 2 and it's not that bright, to me. I was gonna leave the top 2 as halogen lights but it didn't blend at all.
The color temperature between the two style bulbs is different for sure
@@ALLDAYANTHONY really cool video and very indepth. I've been dying to do a cluster swap for a while, but I'm not doing cosmetics until I finish up the suspension
If you're in the market for an si cluster, hold out and the right deal will pop up. I got my off Facebook for $150+ a stuck ex cluster
Hey bro cool civic is very clean, quick question, whats the lip on top of the spoiler called??? Thanks in advance
you can rev out to 8grand on your sohc if you swap in a si b16 obd2 ecu =D
Nice can't wait to see the custom cluster!!!👌
been trying to find a fully digital cluster read out for 99 civic
Yup the si clusters are going for 350 to 500 right now on ebay . i got mine at a super good price and probably wont get rid of it lol
When you sell the car keep the cluster lol
I just bought a mint CTR cluster for $650. Got super lucky cause a lot of them are $1000 and up now.
maybe putting the aa on the bottom half under the si like on the bottom of the gauge
Hmmmmm
Good stuff, Err' Day. In your next cluster video, maybe talk about cleaning up/polishing the salvaged clusters. Also, if the SI cluster is so sought after... You probably shouldn't be covering it up with a decal? Last thing you want is that sticker just oozin' in the middle of the summer lol
The lenses can of course be polished. I like to use a blue alki sprayer to clean the lens obviously. Then polish with hyper polish.
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Naturally, naturally.
I really bought a civic last night bc of yours 😂😂
The ex eks are hard to find at junk yards. Not sure where he stay at but the ones I go here in Cali they are non existence
I don't have an ek (i would love a ek coupe) but the crv is definitely my go to cluster honestly.
It’s good looking for sure!
I have a question for anyone who might know the answer. I bought a jdm Ek civic, and the cluster doesn't have an rpm gauge. If I pop out the speedometer, so that it stays in kmh and has the odometer, can I put that into an American cluster? Would that work, or would the speed be off on it?
Sell one of the si clusters?
I just want to know where you got them and what are the costs likeee
Canadians also get the option of finding an Acura EL cluster.
I miss my old Civic, Had the Si gauges in it and I had no clue what they were or that they were worth more than what I sold the car for lol.
Haha I’m sure a lot of people have made that same mistake!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY I only know now because I picked up a Canadian import 2000 Hatch special edition so I checked out gauges that are in mph.
What if you plug in the EX cluster into your DX (2000 honda DX) and the rpm gauge doesn't respond
Might need a new cluster for my 96 civic hx the lights dont work for the speed, tac , etc
Try a cluster first, and I believe there’s a fuse somewhere
If you have a auto cluster, swap gas and temp part with your old one.
Yep that is another possibility and a good fix long term!
That si cluster is 🔥
I think it’s pretty clean!
How do I get to the ABS globe? I put a crv cluster in and have the ABS light on. (No ABS in my EK)
@alldayanthony auto cluster does work on the civic however they come with an overdrive light which will not light since in my case my EK does not have overdrive and there is a second crv guage cluster that has D4,D3,D2 & 1 and again my stock cluster only has D4,D3 & 2. Is there a crv cluster that has D4,D3 & 2 only?
Time for a B18c5 or K20 swap.
What type of bulbs does the cluster use?

trade you a 3 point strut bar for one of them si clusters
