New pics of my heap...
As usual, I've been hard at work on it, and as usual, you can't see any of it 
Whole lot of trackproofing going on around here, I reciently set a record for the fastest destruction of brake pads (600 miles), so I've been working on the brakes, the oil system and the alignment. Most of the suspension is shook out and the car is really getting there.
Total mods list:
Integra LS Airbox and Intake Arm + 1/4 an Injen CAI
Comptech Filter
Tanabe Hyper Medallion
Battery Relocated to Trunk
Koni Yellows
Custom Rate Ground Controls - 375 Front/525 Rear +1" Length
Tein Camber Plates for DC5R
Custom Front Upper Spring Seats
Hotchkis Rear Camber Links
Comptech RSX 22mm Rear Sway Bar
DIY 4140 Alloy Lower Rear Reinforcement Bar
Cusco Upper Rear Reinforcement Bar
Neuspeed Upper Front Strut Bar
Alignment Specs: -2.25 Deg Front/-1.6 Rear, No Toe
17x7" OZ Racing Superleggera, 215/45/17 Kumho ASX (Street)
15x6.5" Esses Speedmasters, 205/50/15 Falken Azenis (Track and AutoX)
2003 Civic Si Rear Disc Brakes
Russell SS Brake Lines
Hawk HP+ Pads All Around
Tru-Cool 24 Row Oil Cooler
Perma-cool Filter Relocation Kit
-10AN Stainless Oil Lines
Car now takes 5.5 Qts. of oil vs 3.7
Defi Link Computer and OLED Display with Oil and Water Temp sensors
Spoon Ti ****
Momo Leather shift boot

Rep Power: 349 You can't even tell that you've spent all that time working on it looking at the exterior alone. Nice work - and nice selection of mods to.
I just got some ASXs for the street; so far, they are a great all around tire.

. So I left it as you see it. I've thought about eurotrashing the car out (tail lights, rear fog light, etc....) but every time I think about doing it, I break something else and end up buying more performance parts. Oh well... I guess its just not meant to be. It's not a show car by any standards.... just business.

Rep Power: 0 Hey Boiler, looks awesome. Impressive mods, particularly in the suspension. I have considered the Superleggeras and have always liked them on a silver car. Are you happy with them? Also, how is the ride with all the suspension mods? Go-kart stiff? Tolerable? Regardless, nice job.

Ummm... the OZs... yeah, I beat the hell out of them. They're kinda banged up by now, but I've hit some pretty hard holes and only managed to barely ding one of them (like 1/16", it doesn't even show up on the balancing machine). The finish still is pretty good although brake dust takes its toll. Oh well, they're wheels... they're meant to be used.
