Here are the items you need to obtain

• Approximately 10 to 12 feet of 3/4″ hose
• All Stainless steel worm clamps recommended.  Cheap ones will corrode and fail quickly.  Lowes sells a good quality All stainless steel bag set of 10.
• Fuse tap that matches your car fuse box.  With older cars like RSX and EP3 i find it best to use fuse location from inside the cabin.
• 50/50 Coolant
