Is the timing belt the same as the UK

Is it easy to swap the early clocks for the later ones with digital odometer

I don't see any reason why the timing belt would be any different. In sure someone will confirm :arrow:

Yeah timing belt is the same.
Dials can be swapped you will need the little electrical box that sits behind the drivers side tweeter as well.

I'm pretty sure the UK/JDM is the same. The only differences in timing belts are between the 4th and 5th.

Are you on about the EL dials?

Not sure what EL dials are, but I have seen a digital odometer fitted to a 95 car? Easy to change the mileage?

Not too bad - just a bit minging cos of the stickyness of the dash loom. The tiny scratches all over your hands are the worst part for sure :D

There isnt alot of room behind the dash. Finding a place for the converter box to go might be a pain?

Nice big void behind the Right tweeter - fits in there beautifully :)
