The lower control arm was bent in the crash, it's been replaced, the shock also died that's been replaced.

Without replacing the entire subframe and steering rack i don't think i'm gonna get it 100%

This is the alignment before I put it in the ditch.

Ok I have to come clean i totally ripped off Prelude_Stan's idea for this, he asked if an S2000 cluster would fit in a 4G dash.

I can confirm it does

I now need the kind people on PUK's help, I've contacted Mark lamond who orginally converted the S2000 cluster for the CRX, but he never replies.

http://www.marklamond.co.uk/products/s2000/s2000.htm

I'm apealing to all PUK'ers to help me to get the speedo working, there is a problem due to the S2000 VSS outputs more signals per sec that the normal prelude/civic/crx VSS, so where the rev counter works the speedo doesn't without being modified.

Can any of you clever people help? It looks too sweet to give up :cry:

Just emailed them for shipping costs.

I was looking at the other one, but it seems only to downgrade the signal not increase it which is needed for the S2000 cluster.

Another minor update:

Having both cars about 30mins from where I live makes it difficult to do odd jobs, so....

Image

The dash from my Donor lude has been removed so i can get the fitment right for the dials and then swap them as a direct replacment into my dash.

From the initial rough fitting I've done i think I'm going to have to cut away some of the dash to get the dials to sit in-line with the orginal smoked glass. At the moment I can get them to fit in but they look too out of place, also from reading up on people that have put them in CRX's glare on the face of the dials is an issue, so they need to be at the right angle, or shielded enough from the sun.

Been hacking away at the dash today, just about managed to get it to fit in with the original dash, still needs a bit of tweaking as I think i'm gonna loose some of the rev counter about 6k.

Need to get some material to fill in the gaps, if i find some carbon sheet that will do the trick.

Been trying to wire this in today, so far I have everything working bar a light for my 4ws and the light for main beam, as my main beams don't even come on i assume they actually form a curcuit in the clocks somewhere.

Also my speedo randonly reads i'm doing 190mph while it's sat in the drive, I have a feeling it's to do with my HID's cos before if i turned the lights on they would shoot up to 180mph and drop down again. I know one of the connectors is dodgy so i'll swap it over from the donor.
