So I went to put a stock intake and a few other missing items on the car. Couldn't do much. The header panel is all busted up, so no grille. The headlight buckets are all jerry-rigged, so no garnishments and no adjustability yet (I'll go back and grab the two headlight assemblies I pulled the garnishments off of).
The bumer supports were the worst. One side only had one bolt in it, and it had a nut between the frame and the support (looking at the front picture, you can probably tell what side it was on). The other side had two bolts, and also a nut on one of the bolts. I'm not understanding the nuts, but oh well. I bent them back into shape and put 3 bolts each (one hole was rotted gone on each), but now they are flush and the bumper and fenders all fit well.
I didn't have time (the dealership was closing) to put the Si lip on the car, or the new ECU. The PO said that the ECU got wet, so he switched ECU's and ever since then, it has a bouncy idle after warming up. It's probably something else, but I at least I have a spare Si ECU.

Under steer is when you hit the wall with your front end.
Over steer is when you hit the wall with your rear end.
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you move the wall.

Got some new tome tires and put them on four of 6 Prelude wheels I've had laying around for a few month.
Yokohama A048's 185/60R13 with 04 DOT codes.

I'm still keeping an eye out for Phone Dials...
A guy in the local autocross club had a set on his ST EF Civic that he does'nt race anymore at one time, so I sent him a PM to see if he still had them this morning. He sold the set for $40 at some point (didn't advertise on the auto-x site)
