just use the search button!...it's much easier to read about your car yourself, than to wait for replys from people telling you their personnal opinions.

Ill take these in order.
Be a little more specific about the car.
However theres a few things you can do off the bat, like an oil change, timing belt change and a tune-up. Check all fluids including tranny.
What should you watch out for? Anything that breaks. These cars are generally built pretty good and will hold up, but you got to hold up your end of the bargain...if you ask a lot out of the car youll have to put alot into the car.
Springs? I prefer Ground control coilovers with custom spring rates...that will give you enough info to start searching for springs. BTW springs alone aint crap unless you add some nice shocks in there.
Tires? Depends on where you live, what kind of driving style you have. I like the azenis in a 205-50 -15 for summertime and either some yokahama avid t-4's for winter although 13" steelies and some decent snow tires work great for winter.
Use this link to lead you into the world of Hondas and knowledge about what you drive. https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch
Have fun.

Re: just bought da hatch (pvp329)
my front two tires are bald, and my friend recommend me to get all four new tires, he say FALCON is good, i live in california, garden grove so the weather ain't bad.
about the springs....like i want to drive over like little bump and not feel it.
what springs do you guys reccomend and what kind of shock observers.
and when i'm reading through this forum. you guys used like d16(what does that mean) and what is EK, is that like the specific name for my hatchback

well i'll start by saying ..at least your TRYING to speak good engish....i realize now that it isn't your first language....
1.) ....D16 ...refers to a D series engine, that is 1.6 liter, it is also the engine code stamped on the block!
2.) you haven't told us the year of your hatch so we can't tell you what you have ....tho EK is the common term used to describe a 96-00 hatch...92-95 is known as EG!
3.) depends on how much drop you want what springs you get...i would suggest getting a good set of coilovers with a good set of struts like ground control coilovers and koni yellow struts!...they say they are one of the best out there!
4.) as for tires we don't know what size your wheels are, so we can't tell you much about that.....
