you can probably get it at the same place you would get an sr20 but why do you want to do that?

umm.. hhehee, cuz' JDM.. that's why. actually, the reason I have this idea is because I got a turbo timer recently, and it shows km, not mile, that's why I wanna make my meter match with the turbo timer. oh yeah, I heart that if I change my meter to KM, the mileage will be kilomage, is it??

no such thing as kilomileage... its either mpg or km/liter, and either kilometrage or mileage. making ur gauges show kilometers is a headache in the US, and plain sillyness if ur just adapting to ur turbo timer, because you could have gotten it in the version that shows miles, OR gotten another one. Now u have to spend extra money on a different set of gauges...Now you have to calculate how much gas u need to go from eher to there, how many miles u've traveled, how much longer do u still have to go, and the conversion factor isn't too bad (1 mile = 1.6 kilometers) but still...WHY?....
