Got myself a Mossberg 500 a while back.. Also have a video camera that I installed above my garage doors. very small... does color/night vision/ even sound.. wasnt very expensive at all.. I believe walmart sells something similar to what I have now. Get yourself some security.. can never be too safe.

I have some hooks on my garage doors that I will "boobie" trap when I go away, just run some random rope, bungy cords, chains... the more deterrents the better is my motto!

Think Im going with Russell for the brake lines mainly b.c dealing with summit is easy.
-Been trying to figure out how many fittings and which ones Ill need for my fuel lines.
-and I need a clutch line.. but may just order from Rywire for that.

I'm running those on mine and have no complaints. And summits shipping is so fast you can usually get the parts within 2 days if not next day.

Thanks for the feedback Teal. Did yours come with the clear covering over the lines? I know the older ones didn't, which is similar to the earls and goodridge. Last event I was at I saw some Russell lines for a DA that had a smoke clear covering over the entire lines, looked nice. not sure if that is the norm now for all Russell lines.

I put a set of Technafit lines on my CR-X recently and fitment was pretty good, even with the SiR front brakes. Two events on them so far and no rubbing or interference with any suspension parts, and they have a plastic sheath to protect them. I'd like to run them for a while longer before I give a glowing review, but it is another option for you to consider .

I'm running the Goodridge for about the last 5 years with no issues. No sheath on the lines, just bare braided line.

I just ordered russels from summit, and back on the topic of inline four, I emailed them 2 weeks ago about the earls line, i get a response this morning, about how i should buy their inline 4 brand, due to be superior than every other brand, but not mentioning why. Maybe its the 150 dollar price tag, etiher way **** those clown. Nick I called fast brake twice and no pickup, so i went summit.

i like the products that fastbrakes has, etc, but it seems that hes kinda swamped all the time, and his "callback" rate isnt that fast. hes has a couple hundred dollars of mine for about a month, and im waiting for brackets that were "done" a month ago...something was machined wrong when he test-fit them, so he said (after not hearing back from him for a couple weeks) that he'd ship them out the other day.

im not worried, hes been around forever, and i'm probably not doing a track day with the cars these brackets are going on for many months. (wilwood 4 piston brackets for stock EF spindles using 10.3 rotors, for my hatch and the GRM crx)

kinda frustrating, but i have 100% hope it'll be fine soon. he did make these oddball brackets 8 or so years ago, hasnt made them in forever, and made 3 sets for me, so its a pain in his *** i'm sure.

its cool, no hard feeling for him, but my time is precious. Instead of waiting for him, i clicked on summit and had it ordered in 5 minutes. Does that 12.2 willwood kit fit rpf01?

Summit's turnaround time and customer service is top notch. I do wish they'd quit sending me those ridiculous hats everytime, though.

I used -6 on my return with those -6 clamps. I bought -4 thinking it was the right size but it was a bit small

I know the line should be -6 or -8... I am trying to tap off the oem hard line with a flare, nut and sleeve. May just be easier to run it all the way to the tank... no flaring, no searching for sleeves and nuts!

how bout some pics of your set-up Boosted? not sure I'll need -8, no where near the power your laying down.
