Finally got a picture of my center console. I picked it up the center console and wagon rear mud flaps on craiglists for $60. The center console is for a 91 civic four door but the fiment isnt too bad.
I did a little research and it appears that twin piston caliper will fit the DA knuckle
this is why i love wagon owners! we are a rare breed of people who by the divine power of just owning the same vehicle we will go out of our way to help each other out.
so is this just bolt on or is it still modding to be done like you said earlier ?

The modifications That will need to be done is milling the caliper bracket 3 mm for Clearance and Purchasing 93 Prelude SI H22 rotors and redrilling them to a 4x114 bolt pattern. There's a really good write up on this in the brake section on this site. I basically followed the steps that were posted. I highly recommended it.
Build is awesome. Just now reading thru it and saw your issues with paint match. If you still havent gotten a match, Take this image and have them mix you some in satin. Matched as close as your gonna get!!
Finally, after looking for numerous spray paints that would match the OEM wagon brown interior color, I decided to get some computer matched paint. Getting a Satin finish paint seemed to be the best bet. The pic doesnt do it justice, and looks a little darker than it really is, but it is the best match I could come up with after numerous attempts to try and find a color match. Apparently, all you need is the info here to get the same custom matched color:
Paint is drying as we speak, so I will post up some final pics (hopefully) tomorrow so stay tuned.
Man, that is awesome! Just now able to drive mine on a regular basis and love the added power for when you need/want it! Ill prob be posting all my notes from my swap as a reference in the near future.
Good to hear there are other GSR wagons out there. That would be a really good idea to post your notes. Since I have converted to OBD1 and my wiring has vtec my swap should be cake. I have done this EF B series swap before and the hardest or I should say the most time consuming part is doing a clean wiring job.
Does the innovative traction bar have any clearance issues with B series headers?
I couldn't tell you 100%, but I doubt it. It gives a lot of extra space...apparently enough for a half-radiator as well. For reference, here is a pic of the traction bar in my RT (DOHC ZC with Bisimoto knockoff headers). Those headers would not clear the stock crossmember, so you're looking at probably an extra 4-5" of clearance:
Looks like this guy has one with a non-wagon B-series swap (and you can read through many pages of people arguing about traction bar design if you'd like...hahahaha):
LMK how that cable to hydro swap goes for you. I researched it a bunch, I got the Innovative conversion kit (with the attached resevior) then got a lead on a b series cable tranny so never installed it.

I believe they are the same. I'll double check
The equalizer came out of a 91 Crx I'm assuming it was a dealer option.

Prennro went to Home depot with a brown part and they matched the paint.
He used it on his rear speaker pods that he made.
Looks damn close to me.
Thanks for the info I'm going to check out Home Depot tomorrow
I visited Home Depot yesterday and found a spray paint which was a very close color to my interior
I actually just installed one on my '90 rt4wd the other day. Car still isn't on the ground running though. What do you want to know?
