so close, yet so far away

About 3 weeks ago i went to a junkyard and pulled a k20 out of an RSX. I have pretty much the main stuff to do the swap. motor, tranny, ecu, subframe, etc.... But there is so much little stuff that i need like Axles im gonin with the 94 GS-R ones. civic si radiator and fans, is there no way to use our raidator and fan. Radiator hoses, RSX fuel line, brake booster line, purge line, clutch line from master to slave cylinder. And some other crap. Can anyone offer any advice on where to get the parts at a resoniable price? By the way what is the intermediate shaft? not sure if i need that to.

you should go and get the rsx you just ripped out and get all that from it.

FYI the 94 gsr axels do not work. You need to get the K20A3 axels.

From the guys here that have done the swap. PM Nobottlejusttrottle or Hawk Both of them know what is needed and they can give you an idea of where to get everything.

I was just going by what is on hasports list on there web-site. Well that sucks because the GS-R alxels are a lot cheaper than the RSX ones, but i only need the passanger side alxel i allready have the driver-side one.

Yeah, ill pass on using the 02 si axels i called south honda today, try $800 each. Ill sell the motor and forget the swap before i pay that much. And i called a number of junkyards trying to find a wrecked si and no luck. I paid that much for the motor and tranny.
