Default Fairly New to Site and Honda's- N00b Questions

First off, I searched through pages on this site and have found nothing
I have a 1997 Del Sol Si, which is fairly rare now
I can't really find any kind of aftermarket parts for it.
I'm looking for the basic upgrades: Cold Air Intake, Headers, Exhaust, etc.
I'm hoping that someone can give me information on where to buy these things because I am having no luck at all!

you mention rare, its not the b16 sol is it? That would be a del sol VTEC. Anyways, if its just the y8 delsol, you can use the aftermarket parts for a civic ex then i believe.

It is the D16Y8
I say it is rare because there are not too many people with the 97 Si on the site and there is relatively nothing for it. Every site has things for the B16, not D16

Yes, that turbo kit should work. Turbo kits are mainly done by motor and not chassis. An exhaust off a ex maybe be quite different

What about Cold Air? I know that they are often based off the chassis and engine bay.
