okay it is possible to swap clusters between the 7thgen models. however in order to work properly you must ahve a cluster form the same model year. for example you can easily put an 01-02 cluster from any civic into any 01-02 model. here's the tricky part....if it's an 03+ model civic cluster (vp excluded cause it uses the 01-02 setup) and you're putting it inot an 01-02 you need to rewire the harnesses.
