Yea they my ghat bend where you want them to bend with ease but using hard lines is more suitable for a brake system because you pushing your foot on the brake ordeal doesn't create that much pressure ther for you really don't need to run a full braided lines for your brake system but that's just my opinion

- Mon Dec 26, 2011 2:05 am #287034 braided lines would have been like 4 or 5 times more expensive than what im doing.

So, cost is primarily why I didnt use braided lines.

Maybe they stuff will be in by this weekend and I can get the rack assembled.

- Sun Jan 01, 2012 5:31 pm #288061 Waiting on inner tie rods, bands for the boots, hardrace outer tie rods, and my upper control arms. Once I get all that the car can be put on the ground on all four tires again!

Prior to the picture my friend and I managed to get the QSR kit installed.

Things left to do: bend three more lines and then flare them all. I called my local Tompkins and asked if they'd be able to bend me a 3/8" line flared w/-6 fittings for the oil supply line (vtec conversion), they said they could/would. I also asked if they'd flare my brake lines, so I can hopefully avoid leaks they said they could also do that. At a cost of course, $60. I think its worth it. I'm still going to try flaring them all myself though. That's going to be treated as a last resort.

You can buy mine!

picked up a set of inner tie rods and bands to install the bellows (fancy word for boots) no pictures.

- Tue Jan 03, 2012 7:08 pm #288354 Finally bit the bullet and ordered the following:

Brad Penn 10W30 oil, seals it firewall grommet, the correct -4 fitting for my return line (45* instead of a 90*), remote battery terminals and a bulkhead connector for my wiring harness.

Also decided to not use another Odyssey battery and instead picked up a Kinetik battery.

Hoepfully it works better than my Odyssey did. Its lighter, a lil smaller and according to the audiophiles I've spoken too better than an PC680.

Im hoping to pick up a odyseey jacket for it though, I plan on mounting it to the frame rail in-front of the front tire (passenger side).
