Question Who rebulids gauge clusters in the gta?

Does anyone know who rebuilds clusters? I want to have my stock 93 cluster odometer mileage erased so when I look at it I see low mileage

As far as I know, they won't change your mileage for you.

edit: "- For the odometer, when you replace your speedo (be it a solo speedo unit or an entire cluster), you inherit the odometer integrated into that speedo, which will obviously have different mileage than that found on your original cluster. So the odometer can be reset to your original cluster's mileage, so you won't have odometer statement issues (which may negatively affect your vehicle's resale value). But of course, adequate proof of original odometer's mileage is required!"

It is only illegal if you are trying to fool someone. There is nothing wrong with changing an odometer as long as you make full disclosure to future buyers. You are also able to register a car by saying that the mileage is unknown, which would result in obvious consequences to the re-sale value.

Why would someone pay to have it lowered unless eventually then wanted to use it to attract more money when selling a car? It doesn't make sense to "just do it" if not for that reason lol

^^ I guess you've never heard of one breaking and needing replacement.

Plus I changed mine recently since it bothered me to see such high mileage every time I got in the car. I will make full disclosure if I ever sell it. We are not all out there trying to rip someone off.

Or like a certain FC owner since his car is for all intents and puposes "brand new" he wants the odo to reflect that......but again he would utilize full disclosure (but he's probably going to take the car to the grave {or should} )

LOL well if it bothered you that much to read the high mileage then more power to ya. I personally would not care less myself if the mileage said 20k or 200k.

I guess the mileage wouldn't bother me at all if I was on the original engine and mostly original parts. I have spent enough money changing things that I think the odometer should reflect the same.

There is nobody on this board that will see 500k on a single rotary engine.

Yes, because I blew it finding the limit of the old motor which happened to be 18 PSi @ 12 AFR + 4 laps of Mosport. I Still haven't received the 500R-SP due to major back orders but this new motor should put out more anyway

850 km so far on the new motor, gonna have 900 km by the time I get to my tuning spot in a few hours and then we can see what this special porting Mazdee's engine with NRS ceramic seals can do
