yeah ebay is pretty much a waste of time, and wings west is def my suggestion on a body kit, cuz as someone pointed out the cheaper the kit, the harder it will be to fit correctly without possibly destroying it in the first place. As well as a lot of places don't guarantee the condition on delivery especially to out of country on fiberglass kits. Where as urethane pretty much needs a direct impact(ie wreck) to truely mess it up!
Personally I would concentrate on performance first because it's funner to look slow & whoop ass than to look fast and be slower than crap! Also the B16 is a nice motor to start, but it doesn't hold a candle to the newer civics ivtec. And it wouldn't be hard to juice a few more horses out of your motor with simple mods!

Yeah, the motor is still in original condition, itīs taken from -94 Civic VTEC.
I have thought that it would be nice to do something to it, but I have owned the car only few months, so I havenīt had time so far to do anything for it.
Turbo would be nice...
With low pressures (not more than 0,5) it could even work without problems or larger modifications, I think.. Letīs see what happens during the next winter...

Where in Finland do you live? I once visited Finland for two weeks. I started in Helsinki and then went to Jyvaskyla, Rovaniemi and then to Vaasa for a boat ride to Sundsvall, Sweden. I found the Finnish people to be very friendly and also very health conscious. Many Scandanavian people speak better english than Americans do, yours is no exception.
I live in St. Louis, MO, not quite a Mecca for foreign cars, but there are still some around. I will give you my e-mail address and we can converse more if you like. In addition we have some fairly good junk yards around here if you are needing some parts. I try to get to the 'yard about every week to see what new cars they have. Give me a PM if you want to converse more. Good luck with your 'Teg, I bought my '96 GS-R about 7 months ago and I love it. fulbrightdave@yahoo.com

Hi turbocajun! I live about 30km from Helsinki, in the southern Finland. I have thought, that it would be a paradise for me to visit some american "junk yard" to buy some spare parts for my car. I would need especially the front side windows, īcause mine are so scratched, but it would be very difficult to get them here in Finland still in one piece, I think...
Of course also other things would interest me quite much, taillights, front seats, everything...
Iīm now in a bit of hurry, but write me sometimes at ossi.boy@jippii.fi so we can continue at the better time!

Welcome to Honda-Acura. Net. Yes keep it original & please stay away from the body kits. If anything you should lower your ride. But if you choose to go body kits go with wings west. Enjoy your stay.
