This is a question for who ever has rerouted their brake lines. whats the best way to do it an the best place to put the portioning valve. I see all of the shaved engine bays but dont see any lines. id also like to know what you guys have done with the clutch lines. I'm asking this because i wanna clean up my engine bay an shave it later. Any help would be appreciated.

Most people reroute to the inside of the firewall there was a buildthread where someone did this....but cant remember whom it was....but yea also some people say to relocatethe clutch resevoir etc to underneath the windsheild wiper motor cover....

as said above :thumb:

another option for the clutch resevoir is to get the S2000 master cyl. the resevoir is part of it instead of remotely mounting on the shock tower.

Also you can use a stainless braided clutch line instead of the hard lines. That will be easier to hide.

for my brake line i look and puttung it behind the fire wall but all the connectors etc works out abit too pricie. what i did.

got my hands on a prop valve(what ever its called) form an ek civic (with out abs.) and i mounted that low down on the right(if you looking at the bay) and just ran new line from the booster down and behind the steering rack. now its tucked and well hinden
