I can pick one up for you- $40 shipped.
I got it off an old Mercedes at the junk-yard-
It'd probly be cheaper if i went to a local yard and did what you did. Thanks for the tip.
 
If you can't find one, you know just to ask me.
 
Help a brotha out! haha

AN Plumbing.com has pretty good prices.... and I'll be shoping around town too.
I'll figure something out, but of course it's not nessesary, so it might be a while...

Well, if your looking to do it, scan over This thread's pages.
Some guy posted some pretty nice setups that will work a little better.

My current setup will only leave enough room for about 3" of SS hose, because the filter and stuff is inline. (And hopefully I won't have any problems with my intake pipe clearance)
 
If your fitting looks like this...

You'll have to cut off the non-threaded part of the fitting.

And your good to go!
I'll be making a write-up on it when I'm finished with it(in the car), so look out for my sig to be updated!

BTW, I talked to KMS, again, and he says he'll be calling my Friday about shipping info... :mellow: Don't jynx me!

Update 11/15

I've started on the brake booster and master cylinder thing. (DC teg)

I've got the Booster completely bolted in, cotter pin and all, as well as the MC, but I need to go back to the junkyard and pick up that one fitting I'm missing(seen in last pic).

Isn't that stupid? I went to the junkyard a couple days ago, got 3 fittings, and neither of them is the right one!
I'm an idiot.

Well... Thats it for now

i assume thats a 1" master cylinder? fuckin siiick. cuz i got the same one for my integra... just havent installed it yet.
 
Well, I'm not too sure what it is.. haha. It's off an 94+ LS w/ ABS. I'm starting to look around for a GSR MC. Those are 1".(same as ITR, but I think buying an ITR one will be a bit more pricy...)

But even still, it's better than mine.
Next will be some brake upgrades. I think I'm gonna go the simple route-

Jonathon ED3 on H-T said:
Parts list:
-'91 Civic EX Brake rotors...same as 92-95 Civic Sedan rotors ($14.99 each at Pep Boys; probably cheaper at AutoZone)
- Accord Wagon Brake Calipers (will be stamped 17CL15VN; ~$50 rebuilt at Pep Boys). These are the exact same calipers as the ITR, Legend, Prelude VTEC etc. Great stopping power!
- Accord Wagon, Prelude VTEC (etc) Brake Caliper mount stamped 25T (a 23T bracket exists, but I can't promise you it will work). This is what came stock on the Accord Wagon.
- 1/8" wheel spacer OR grind ~1/8th" (2.5-3mm) off of the caliper mounting bracket. If you are familiar with the 11" brake upgrade, this is the same modification necessary.



Read about it in THIS thread on H-T.



That way I don't have to go through the hassle of changing my knucles or LCA's.

So... I guess thats next!
 
Awesome stuff man.. I"m Andrews Bro-in-law and have helped him along the way with this swap.. I'd liek to say that he basically knew NOTHING about working on cars before this..and look at em go.

Smart lil queer he his. Good job man, I cant wait to rag on it some ;)
 
I guess I'll take that as a compliment?

haha...
