Nausicaa - Project Update - Parts Ordered

We are hopefully starting to get close to being done ordering parts for this project. Since switching primary contacts at P&L Motorsports regarding this project we have had a much better experience in terms of communication.

K Series Parts:

K-tuned K24/K20Z3 Upper Coolant Housing w/ Standard 1.25" Hose Fitting
Part no.: KUW-24T-HE
Price:   $116.99

=========================================================

4 Piston Racing:

4P Ported K-Series Oil Pump K20/K24
Part no.: 4P-KPUMP
Options: K24 Installation Kit
Price:   $460.00

This is a highly rated / improved oil pump and should be a much better choice than stock for track use.

=========================================================

MPC Motorsports:

Price:   $149.00

Ordered this part and then canceled the order. Our technician at the shop wants to maintain a larger brake master cylinder due to our big brake kit and the large front brakes. This will then be routed through a brake bias adjustment valve. Order hold while I conferred with the shop and cancellation were handled in a timely manner. MPC's communication hours are a bit weird (emails back ~11:30 PM from a US shop). All in though, if they had something I needed for the build I would consider ordering through them again, at least in terms of a sales / pre-sales experience.
Really liked the color of the back plate on this though, as it was matching our color theme. Function over form though.

=========================================================

Hush Performance:

Price:    $70.00

This is the brake booster delete we ended up going with. No brake master cylinder included in this kit, no fancy color choices for the plate. We are going with an OEM Honda brake master cylinder to replace the old one with 140,000++ miles on it though.

=========================================================

Rywire:

Part no.: RADIATOR-CUSTOM
Options: Radiator Size 24" x 13 1/4"
Price:   $475.00

We wound up going with this option over the Koyorad Racing Pocket Radiator. The Koyorad is on back order and not available. Communication with Rywire on this was a bit finicky. They do not list the model number for the fans that you can order with the kit (overpriced compared to Summit Racing for the same model anyway). With some back and forth we found out the fans listed are Derale model no. C16908B. Anyways, radiator looks like it should do what we need. Prior communication experience with Rywire when inquiring regarding the harness order was fine. Not included in the above price though is the $65 shipping and handling fee, which is steep.

=========================================================

Hardrace (Velocityshop):

Hardrace Rear Sway Bar End Links 92-96 Prelude
Part no.: 6491
Price:    $57.00

Hardrace Front Sway Bar Links 92-96 Prelude
Part no.: 6488
Price:    $57.00

Tech working on the car wanted OEM+ or better sway bar end links. Unfortunately the Prelude is not a well supported platform in this department, not a lot of options. This was the first choice. Shortly after order placed the vendor contacted me to let me know that these would not be available until August 2020 (not listed as back order on the site). As such we have elected to take them up on a refund, which has not yet been processed.

=========================================================

Summit Racing:

Moog Front Sway Bar End Links
Part no.: K9880
Price:    $51.99

Moog Rear Sway Bar End Links
Part no.: K750247
Price:    $30.99

Due to timeline of the sway bar end links listed above we instead ordered an alternative set from Summit Racing. Also OEM+. This platform is not always the easiest to work with.
