..find the central jacking point in the middle of the car...somewhere behind the front bumper...jack it here and put the stands under the other lift points....

If you look under the front of the CRX/4th gen civics and 2nd gen integ's there's a jacking point in the MIDDLE of the front crossmember.

It just looks like a reenforcement in the dead center of the car...

Jack it up high and put the stands under the frame rails that run between the doors and the front wheel wells. Look for the metal that is pinched together into a rail under the car... should only be 4-6 inches un from the side of the car. Make sure both sides are tight against the rails, and lower the jack to put the weight on the stands. Voila. Change your oil.

You're done, but an easier place for the jack stands is on either side of the jack, under the front cross member. I had to do this so I didn't have two jack stands poking through my floor...
