| RSX Gauge Cluster Question
Hey guys i just recently picked up a 03 RSX-s and noticed i have a lil mugen sticker on the gauge cluster. So now im kinda worried cause im thinking the cluster has been replaced... So my question is unlike the regular rolling dial of an older car will the electronic display stay somewhere in the computer or will it carry from cluster to cluster like older vehicles? Im sure this is not a problem on this vehicle but for some reason i cant stop thinkin about it since i cant find history of aircare on the website. What are some other ways to check milage records cause carfax isnt really up to date either. TY TY

Is the mugen logo INSIDE the cluster? or on the plastic?
The mileage is stored with the cluster, so if they swapped it out, it technically is a false reporting of the milage.
you never know... people open the stock ones up etc... post a pic?

if go to the dealership they can check it for you... just explain them what do you want and tell them that you suspect scam! So basically if you change cluster the main board computer still keep counting the mileage, i don't see the problem checking the original mileage through main board ecu!

ok, when you change the ownership, isn't there a document that asks you to check "odometer replaced/rolled back" section?
one that ICBC or Autoplan gives you? Did you check that?
my point is, can you sue the previous owner if he/she lies?

I actually went to a body shop that the previous owner had work done at and checked old repair history. Checks out that there is only a 10000k difference so im sure its fine especially since the milage is quite low anyways. Here is a pic of the cluster ( Iphone cam FTL)  | |
