The kit is pretty inclusive. I do recommend stepping the heat range of your spark plugs down one and maybe picking up an oil catch can, but besides that, the kit should have everything you need to get the car running just fine.

As suggested above you should upgrade the spark plugs.

If you're using the 92-95 civic kit I don't think those come with injectors... the 19T 96-00 kit will come with the upgraded injectors.

Along with making sure your spark is working very well, you may want to (if using the stock fuel pump) rewire it with a heavier gauge wire, as this will allow you to fully exploit the stock fuel pump and possibly an ajustable fuel pressure regulator, Good luck with the install and remember- lean is mean, rich is safe.
