Wouldn't there would be many many other complicating problems, like wiring/plugs and the fact that newer cars have to match the gauge cluster to the ECU?
I really have no idea but I'd bet a lot of $$$$ on no.Quote:

I don't know about Mazda's but on VW's the cluster, key and computer need to be from the same car for it to work.Quote:

Highly illegal to do this swap if you find somewhere that can do it
Sell your speed3 and buy a rx8 broQuote:

The computer must have been reprogrammed, just plugging the cluster in won't work.Quote:
