Brackets for fuss free install of S2000 Cluster in Honda Civic EG
Recently we have had a lot of customers who are buying old Honda Civics. By old, we are talking about the 92-00 models. Not very rare in some other countries, but in Singapore where most of the cars are 5 years or younger, it definitely is a rather rare sight.
Judging from the demographics of these owners, i am sure it was NOT a case of newer cars being out of reach for them as these EGs/EKs are usually a second car. I bet it must be the owners feeling nostalgic and wanting to re-live part of their youth! (That brings to mind all the garishly colored Civics & CRXs outside some popular discos like in the mid 90s!!)
Through my interaction with these customers, I realize that they are really keen on splurging on their 20 year old cars. The best part is, when we do the math on the modification path (mind you, modifying a 20 year old car is not cheaper than doing up a current model FD2. It can easily come up to just as much or more!) , they are very forthright in giving the go ahead with most quotations.
I was lucky in that in a span of 3 weeks. I had 3 EG Civic customers that instructed me to put on a S2000 cluster into their car after they spent many hours on the internet looking at what fashion trend there was for their new “old flame”. Hence, since I was required to do the fitting for multiple cars, I decided to create a fitting template so that i can share it between them. i did not want to have to repeat doing a custom mounting bracket for each and every one of them.
I took the time to design a perfect mounting bracket that works just like any bolt-on mod, and it also allows refitting the cluster panel back perfectly for a OEM finish and look!
Unfortunately, the wiring work is still custom and would have to be done by the good old splicing and soldering method to hook up all the function of the S2000 cluster into the EG.
You can see from the pictures that the mounting brackets are custom laser cut and bent/shaped to suit the EG dashboard perfectly.
We also designed a faceplate so that it will cover all voids in the dashboard cluster panel after installing the S2000 cluster.
This faceplate might possibly also work with other models when it comes to retrofitting the S2000 cluster in there but has not been tested. It definitely fits the EG perfectly, that much i know.
We are currently offering this combo for sale for any customer who requires these mounting solutions. We also use the Speedohealer as a speed correcting device which adjusts to display the correct speed on the cluster.

Fitment for the s2000 cluster is perfect! No visible gaps and most importantly NO rattling (given the solid engine mountings i expected some rattling from the vibrations).
Would definitely recommend getting it if u wanna freshen up your old EG interior and save yourself from the hassle of measuring and cutting the base plate.
