    Default Can I drive for a week without a cluster? What won't work?

    Hey all,

    I am looking at sending my cluster away to get some mods done to it, but will I be able to drive my car in the meantime? Airbags? Any error codes logged? An easy way to work out my speed?

    So far I was thinking of borrowing a gps to use as a spedo, n obviously keeping my petrol tank full

    Not a good idea mate as what happens if a cop pulls you over and sees the missing cluster

    alot of things will say they are broken... BAAAD fault

    unless ya want ya cluster to sing a song to you.. dont turn the car on without it

    Yeah I could see most cops being a total c-word about it.

    Looking at getting two things done, the blue n white led mod by our good old friend Phreddy, n also maybe a custom design backing plate (with all the numbers etc on it)

    Yeah Greg is a champ at doing those mods

    AS for the wreckers idea, tried several but none would 'loan' me a cluster for a week n the cheapest was $195, not really worth it in my opinion :| hmm

    You can get them on ebay for $30 man. Just find one local and pick it up. Or maybe even look in the for sale section, surely there people with parts lying around.
