Question Converting to Metric

Hi guys,

We just bought an 08 TSX and we'd like for it to work in metric Vs the US units. Anybody know how it can be done?

Also, where can I buy a new dashboard "sticker" or the whole thing to have KM/h as the main unit instead of miles for speed?

Thanks!!

Well, the TSX gauges are electroluminescent... so... you can't just cover them up...

I don't know how to help you lol, sorry man.

You can get the gauge cluster out of a Euro Accord R and put it in your car, that would give you KM/h.

Yeah, just order a gauge set for a Canadian TSX. Don't know if you can just order the speedometer or if you have to pick up the entire gauge cluster. I know that for older Civics, only the entire gauge set were sold as one piece. So people who were adding tachs to their non-tach Civics had to mix and match some parts from the two gauge clusters.

I just purchased an 08 as well and am wondering where to purchase the instrument cluster and how much? Can the speedometer only be replaced? Does the replacement also guage the mileage in kilometres?
