What are the chances of becoming one of the first lucky 5? I'm ready to provide feedback.
What are you suppling per kit and what extra will be needed? Will there be changes depending on what engine?

What are you suppling per kit and what extra will be needed? Will there be changes depending on what engine?
I think you are number 5 to show interest, but really it's first in best dressed.
I'll be offering 2 kits, a basic and full.
Basic Kit - (for those who want to develop their own pedal assembly)
* Includes 2 x CNC'd 6061 Aluminium Spacers
* Installation Instructions
Full Kit
* Includes 2 x CNC'd 6061 Aluminium Spacers
* Complete Pedal Assembly (housing and pedal, assembled with new OEM components)
* All fastener Hardware for installation
* New OEM CMC Gasket
* Installation Instructions
Additional parts required are a S2000 clutch master cylinder, and a clutch line.
The kit will work with all B-series swaps, K-series to be confirmed (I am happy to offer a refund for K-series swaps should it not fit)
Thanks for the interest.

this is exactly what I need to get my project ED off the ground... genuinely keen when kits are made available!
Thanks mate, once everything's done I'll be posting up more information.
Check back in the next few weeks!

What happened to the side gusset/ bracket?
It comes with the hardware, now bolt on though as apposed to welded to account for tolerance when installed.Quote:

if you can make that bracket a L/triangle bracket would it make it more rigid?
Thanks mate.Quote:

Hi Peter,

I started reading your build thread on k20org. As expected, it is epic. Only got through the first 5 pages.

What are these kits going for man? Good on you for taking the steps to make it all happen, if you did this on a lhd for the US market, you could make a fair bit of cash
Cheers, yeah there is obviously only so many RHD EFs still in existence.Quote:

Just got the update from Andre! I can't wait! I'll be ordering the s2k cmc tonight but which clutch line kit do we use for the k20?Quote:

Best bet is to actually measure what line you need once everything is in the car and grab a -3AN Earl's Speed-Flex Line from Jegs or Summit and a suitable fittings.Quote:

No sorryQuote:

Easiest way to check is to use an old throttle cable or similar to measure on your actual car.Quote:

Earls 3AN Straight to Banjo Speed-Flex Lines only come in 16”, 18”, 24” and 36”, so you might need to use 3AN Straight to Straight Speed-Flex Lines as they have a lot more options for length.
Does anyone care to write a review on this product?
This thing is I still don't have the motor up on the crx yet as the rhd is in the process of being welded on so theres no way I can measure at this point.
Yeah would be good to get some feedback.Quote:

Yeah right, that makes it a little more difficult. Considering you live in the US and have both Jegs and Summit at your door step, just wait till everything is installed.Quote:

Done by a local independent on-site automotive hose guy, he's a bit older and always seems to have the solution to a hose dilemma.Quote:

you'd probably have to email them about the inverted flare tho as I dont see any listings online for it.
Nice find mate, that is pretty damn goodQuote:

Anyone have pics of the kit installed? How it looks in the engine bay and under the dash?
Update to list.Quote:

Hey mark I have a question.. Do we have to use the s2k cmc or blox? Would a wilwood cmc work? Reason I ask if because I already have a wilwood brake master cylinder and the s2k/blox one would look completely different style..
The Blox CMC is a just an aftermarket replacement for the OEM part, so yes it will also work.Quote:

Hey Hialeahzbg, I emailed the instructions to Andre a few weeks ago. If he hasn't provided them to you PM me your email and I'll send through a PDF.Quote:

Let me know,
Thanks

Hey Peter,
Unfortunately not suitable for the DA, the same principle could be applied but the different shapes in firewalls prevent my kit from being interchangeable.
Sounds cool either way, was always impressed at the rate at which you got onto the next project.
Good stuff on the 7th year at WTAC.
Cheers,
Mark
Pretty sure k series are too tall for DA engine bay,you would need to keep the ride height higher and possibly aftermarket hoodQuote:
