Please tell me you used your phone to post that mess. >.<

If you don't have much money, get good tires. Best all around upgrade you can do to a stock vehicle.

unfortunately he is probably out of luck anywhere he goes on this site but i'm not entirely sure - there might be some overseas guys who have this car and are on this site.

his car is the closest to an ep3 as an ep2, and these sub-forums are divided by vehicles, not engines. however the d16v1 is probably closest to the d17. might want to look in there OP.

OP, i'd suggest you go to a forum like http://www.civic-ep2.co.uk/smf/index.php and dig around there. maybe even d-series.org. then, if possible, keep us posted on your progress so the next guy with this car will see.
