Technically it's not a "compression" fitting, it seems to work similar though. Slip the bottom of the fitting on the line after cutting, put on the "washer" type piece that comes with the fitting and install the second piece of the fitting. One side of the fitting has a rubber sleeve in it, I can't remember which, but they seem to be holding up fine.

Cool thanks for that. I couldn't find an disassembled view of it, that makes sense.

It's rated to 25psi, just fine for this application.

thanks! I used this stuff called "prep-all" with a rag and an old tooth brush. It does a great job cutting dirt and grease. Then I've just got to wash it down with a bucket of water and a clean rag after that.

This might be a really stupid question, but does anyone know if you can buy the "Honda of America Mfg" sticker on the core support?

very much doubt it, best bet is to get it reproduced or carefully peel off one from the junkyard

I think that the "Honda of Canada" sticker part number is floating around (87125-S10-A00) and the "HFC134a sticker "80050-SP0-000," but am not able to find the "Honda of America" decal. The JDM parts suppliers may list a part number.

I think my car actually was "Honda of Canada", so would make sense to get that one.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.
If it's a coupe I believe it may be "Honda of America." I think all coupes were assembled domestically, but I'm not certain.

I don't think so. One of the cleanest bays in my area is a h22 swapped civic. Every time I see it I drool a little.

Very nice bay by the way. Who makes the carbon/kevlar cowl?

I know this is a little off topic but I was just wondering how much money you guys have spent on odds and ends getting your builds together?I mean arp/mugen/oem/stainless bolts nuts fittings and other items starts getting pretty expensive after a while.Just toss a ballpark figure out there and if this isnt something that should be asked in here I am sorry for asking.

I've done mine little bits at a time over the years, so it didn't seem as expensive. Not including the major parts I bet I have $400 in just dealer nuts/bolts and stainless bolts etc.

Wrd it's not so bad if you do it over time, **** is expensive if you add it all up. The hell with counting how much money I have invested on my car, I'll just get mad at myself lol

Some noobish question here..
What is the common route to guide your new lines from the tucked battery in the passenger side inside the bumper inside the car to the tucked fusebox and to the starter and alternator?

I am trying to do it right the first time and would like some ideas on how to make it look good and tucked!

I'd imagine most people just run a simple grommet in the firewall and run the wires under the carpet on the passenger side to the trunk.
