Make your own, it's not hard. You can get the parts from places like Summit Racing or Jegs.

I like that idea. thanks for the tip!

See its ideas like these that people like me, just dont either think or really know about. Thats why i like the forums.

Plus it gives business to locals and you usually get a very nice product for the price.

It's a 13BRE, so apparently those won't fit.

Just get yourself the neccesary AN fittings and hose then make your own. Summit Racing or Jegs.

+1 Racing Beat and Mazdatrix. They have better fittings. Making your own with good fittings costs almost the same in parts alone. But re-using the stock fittings and replacing the line only is a very cheap and effective way to go. A hydraulic shop will do this for $20 to $30 (line and labor together).

The OEM lines last a long time, as do the RB/Mazdatrix stainless lines. But cheap stainless lines can sometimes blow after only 1 year.

have u seen that commercial? "Jegs Jegs Jegs" DIY is the best for u to learn and prolly cheapest. U dont necesarily have to go with steel braided line. There are plenty of other hoses out there that work great. Differnt types of cheaper fitings that work too.

Making a set of lines out of braided stainless and AN fittings is easy. Should not take more them 15 minutes.

Here's a link that covers making these lines for the 2nd gen. The RE should be similar but with slightly different lengths:

Thanks guys just bought a set from Banzai Racing. 230 shipped not bad at all , the savings of making your own lines is not that much maybe few dollars, i have enough building to do already lol with the fuel lines, later peps.
