Rx8 cluster in a 3rd gen?

fikren · 03-02-2008, 11:05 AM

Are all the compents powered by one of those flexible circut boards similar to what the 3rd gen cluster uses? If so I wonder if you could just remove that and hard wire the gauges.

And yes the rx-8 cluster is bad ass, thats what got me looking to see if there was some way to use it rather than picking up seperate gauges. Thanks for your input, I figured it would never be a simple plug and play and my soldering skills arn't at a level where I could keep all the lights and functions, most of which I don't need or want anyway.
