The belt I would just go to the local autoparts store, and say you need a belt for an ep, they will give you the right size.
I would stick witht he oem crv bracket. Not sure what benefit the other has.
Dont forget you will also need new bushing to use for the sway.
Also I wouldn't go with a prb ecu, unless you have a six speed tranny. Pnd or pnf are cheapest wat to go.
As for fluids, that is more of a personal choice to me. And the hondabond is actually good, no need to get permatex then.
Midpipe, forget the sizes, but I think that the newer type s, 05 06, actually are a hair larger in diameter.
I did use the k24a2 waterpump after pulling it appart, but mainly because I didn't feel like taking the one of the a3. The metal piece, coolent housing, I used it from the k24a2 because of fitment, but used the ep3 thermostat.
