Jeff,

In your 2004 Civic the mileage in the odometer is stored in the
instrument cluster. If you change the instrument cluster, the mileage
your car shows will be that of the new cluster.

I live in Canada (km/h) but purchased my Civic from the USA(Mph) so I
had to do a cluster swap – learned from experience. Luckily I found a
cluster that was only a few km's more than what the car actually had
on it.

Hope this helps,
Sebastian
