Quite the contrary. Just the boot that goes over my mil-spec connector was $25. The connector is a bit over $100 (more for the 60 pin connector for k-series) which makes sense, but $25 for ONE boot is crazy. Add up all the parts and you're at almost $400. Not to mention the label maker is pretty expensive itself but that's a one time investment.
You're looking at $1500 + for a milspec harness. That's why he's only built 2 for the b-series honda world (and I'm lucky to have one). There's just not much of a market for that harness for Hondas.

Wiring terminology and brand name. Look them up in google
Alright guys, so I am epically confused. Knowing that I'm going to bend up my own custom brakelines so orientation does not matter...
Can I use a USDM 1" ITR ABS MC with the USDM ITR ABS Brake booster in EF? I don't want to spend the time tracking down a JDM non-ABS unit only to pay out the a** for 50k mile used parts. Thanks in advance

I don't think I want it milspec or anything. Just a regular harness that was made for a good tuck, with labels, and possibly a bulk plug depending on price. I'm not baller to the point I can afford a $1000+ harness. lol
EDIT: I have a harness I can send to you, Chase, if you would like, and it would bring the cost down. I was going to just make my own tuck harness out of it, but I find myself strapped for time lately. I need this harness before the weather gets to hot (gotta retune for the hot weather).

Re: (vega_ROCKS)
hey, has anyone here used the Hasport Clutch Master Cylinder Adapter?
"Clutch Master Cylinder Adapter
The new master cylinder adapter allows the use of a Honda-style or Wilwood clutch master cylinder to convert a cable transmission vehicle to a hydraulic setup."

Re: (vega_ROCKS)
How wide are the rims? I've personally seen 16x6 with a 195/45/16 tire look great on an EK, but that thing was slammed to the ground lol.
I'd say on a 16x6.5 or 16x7 go with a 50 series for a bit of stretch on 205's for 16x6 then 45 or 50 series.
It's hard to say with 16's because 15's look so at home on our cars and the only 16's I've seen that look good are 195/45/16 tires stretched then the car dumped to get a bit of tuckage going on. There's a few CRX's on here that run those sizes

Re: (vega_ROCKS)
I had 205/45-16's on 16x7 Work wheels. Looked good to me. Although, I'd have to agree with 1989CivicSi that 15's look more "at home" on EF's.
Really the only pic I have hosted (and like) with the RSZ-R's on. I'm sure everyone has seen this pic a million times now.
