Or do what I did and find a cluster with 50,000 KM less on it, and then just replace your own cluster back in when you go to sell the car. But some places can take the cluster and put the appropriet amount of miles on it for you.

If your actually going to be racing your car, consider a 5" autometer. I had one in my '92 CX/B18C1 hybrid and I loved it. The shift light was nice and when I drove with one hand on the wheel at 12 o'clock and one on the shifter, my arm completely blocks the OE tach and I can't see it. Mine was probably ricey but I loved that damn thing.
