Thanks for the input guys, the only thing that sucks is -4an is only red/blue from earsl, and i only run earls. Guess the BOV line is going to be red blue but for the Brake booster and manifold is going ot be black fittings stainless line.

When building my fuel system I found that NOT ALL fittings come in black. Just an FYI for you.

My fuel is 60% percent done. I had to use a couple blue ones (90 degree -8an) Im also debating in mounting the aeromotive fpr on the rear xmember or the fuel rail.... There is NO love for hte -4an. What do you do if u want to slip some -6an on that brake booster check valve but want to make the end looked "finished"

Thanks, I have to say i lose pateince with the car almost daily. It seems for everystep forward i take, i find two problems that need corrective action. Oh well, such is life for a nearly 100% DIY EF
As for the seat, i only have one, and i like it alot. It fits me very well and the price was great The only complaint i have is that the seat would not be practical for daily driving. GEtting in and out is a major PITA, and it would get old quick. Fortunatly i have a DD, so it doesnt really bother me, infact i like it
</TD></TR></TABLE>
Other than getting in/out of them, are they ok as far as comfort?

Im also redoing a couple lines in -an, Do you think the black fittings look better or (two much black) the red/blue make it pop better?

I say go with the all silver fittings, seems like it would go well with your "theme." I think they're nickel plated or something?

umm. :/ LS/vtec uses LS blocks. hence the name.

Yeah I guess there isnt anyone who has done a "ls-v" build w/ a gsr block. When was the last time you heard of a "gsr-vtec" build? I mean with the use of a gsr block wouldnt you have to call it that? Or actually, what would be the politically correct name for a build using a gsr block with a b16 head?
I was just trying to be helpful to the one asking about ls-v builds and give some personal insight of mine. Someone then brought up the use of gsr block for the builds and once again, I just thought it would be helpful to give some insight to what I have been told from a reputable company like RLZ.
