Something that should be noted FOREVER:

The tach in the HUD cluster is SMALLER than the tach in the analog cluster. I have a 91 DOHC tach in my 89 w/HUD. To install it, I first of all had to trim a weird thingie that was sticking out all funky-like. Then once I got it to fit, you can JUST BARELY see the tick marks from around the HUD trim bezel. It works fine, though. All I'm saying is BE AWARE of this.

Oh, and one more thing...the lights in the HUD cluster have these plastic "extenders" on them that actually illuminate the gauge (and the guage has a printed matrix on the back of it to even out the lighting). Thing is, the "extenders" in the HUD cluster are not lined up for the analog tach...so the night-lighting is uneven. Once again, it works...but not perfect. I will most likely sell mine eventually and get a real JDM Silvia tach.
