Si Temperature Gauge

***msjwild3*** · 12-09-2007, 04:56 PM

I have a 07 Civic Si coupe and I was wondering if there is any way at all to change the thermometer from Ferinheight to Celcius? I am Canadian and bought the car in the US and the only thing on the car that isn't metric is the thermometer. Anyway to switch it over? Thanks

Interesting question....I'd suggest stopping by a dealer and just ask a tech...Probably easy to do...

***msjwild3*** · 12-09-2007, 07:10 PM

Thanks, ya i'll have to stop and find out, but if anyone knows anything just let me know.

no, you cant. dumb thing imo. you cant even change the clock to 24 hour. i think the only reason you can change the speedo to metric is because its digital. if you notice, every single analog speedo in modern cars shows both metric and imperial speed, its probably a coustosy for people driving their car to different countries.

I imagine you can get the temp gauge to Celsius...It just might require a new thermometer or something along those lines...probably cheap and an easy install...

I agree with him. I've tried many times to change it to Celsius and it doesn't change.

DTNguyen107 · 12-10-2007, 05:56 PM

I was quite disappointed when I turn everything to metric but the temp gauge did not.

Ah... I wish America would go 100% metric but I doubt that will ever happen in this generation.

i wish they would too. for one thing, it would put a serious curb on the whiners going "Oh noes Y honda have much less Tq than Power, they should be equal" in metric, EVERYONE has MUCH less Tq than Power.

No mine stays in Ferinheight when i switch everything over to kilometers ... ya its kinda stupid since everything else changes and yet the temperature doesnt.

PhoR11 · 12-11-2007, 11:47 AM

Is the US the only country that's still using the English Standard system "officially"?

Cooking is practically the ONLY place where the Standard system has real world advantages over metric...

Everyone should just go metric and be done with it.

e60.deluxe · 12-11-2007, 12:45 PM

there are some places that dont. UK (which is where imperial started and gets its name) is like partial...they use Imperial for distances, but then they use Liters, grams, and etc for everything else.

its kind of odd, if you take up engineering in school, you are forced to use metric in those classes...those classes pretend as if Imperial doesnt even exist..then you get a job as an engineer, in America and guess what, no more Joule's and meters and kg, its BTU's and feet and pounds. im serious ive met people who look at some work im doing and go "where did this 32ft/s/s come from?" and im like "are you Fing kidding me? thats gravity" "no thats 9.8m/s/s" "Are you really Fing kidding me!"

brazilianguy · 12-11-2007, 01:01 PM

i would like to have mine in Celsius also,
i've searched this before, and found no answer for it

Metalhead852 · 12-11-2007, 01:06 PM

Yeah the English system is slowly making it's way out. The military hardly ever uses the old system. The only thing I really use it in is for tools and parts/hardware. Our aircraft all use standard system of measurement for like bolts and torque specs etc. However all the guages and read outs are in metric lol go figure.

My favorite torque mis-measure: gram-inches. So wrong in so many ways.
