small update! ive got pictures which i will upload later but today i managed to get everything working on the dials apart from the speedo and rev counter (didnt have time to make a start on these)
All engine managment lights, oil lights indicators and imobiliser lights are working on it.
So tommoro im going to work on remaping the microprocessor so i can input the miles my car has done on it. Then also il get some pictures once i get the rev counter working!
My boss in currently designing a circuit so that the speedo reads correct! more updates soon

Good work, keep a note of everything you do, it might come in handy in the future if anyone else wants to do the same conversion.

Yeah im putting all the pin outs in an excel spreadsheet so if anyone wants a copy send me a pm and il send them!
The pin positions and cable colour do change tho as the pin outs on mark lammonds site are only around 60% the same as my dials i have.

There is a circuit diagram and the software written out for you all available already. Check CRX-UK, post up if you can't find it. I was going to do it but managed to pick up a Speedohealer for 30 quid so couldn't be aresed in the end.
How are you reprogramming the EEPROM for the correct mileage? Which one is it and are you removing it from the PCB to do this? More information please.
How are plannning on sorting out the temperature? Modifry unit?

Not realy had a chance to do much more to the s2000 dials but got a few pictures to show you them with some power on!
Just to show that everything will be working.
Once i get these done il do a full how to on them.

Nice parts - you can just use washers to adjust the rear camber, but I think these are better as you get new bushes when doing it this way.
Are you getting Toe adjusters aswell?
