    Stereo problem

    Try soldering the wires together. Electrical tape is not recommended for these types of applications (tape ONLY i mean).

    Overheated, melted plug boot: 97 honda

    Swap engine (if car is in good condition overall) or get rid of it would be my input. Overheating problems are usually kind of a pain in the ass..

    Did you also swap the ECU when you did this swap?

    EG Motor Mounts dont align after swap

    Some pictures would definitely help here. Can't think why it wouldn't line up unless you mounted something different. There shouldn't be any difference between a 95 coupe and a 92 hatch since they are in the same year range (92-95 Civic).

    Water Leak

    If it's water, sometimes it can leak from the connection between the fenders and hood.

    Swapping the engine on my 91 sedan

    By the way you are talking about this swap it seems like you are not extremely engine/swap inclined (don't worry, I'm not swap god myself). I would highly recommend RESEARCHING quite a bit before jumping into your first swap. Although a B series swap for a Civic is a good choice for a first...

    Wheel Offset

    I'd rather have you lower your car first and then buy wheels.. or else it's going to look extremely awkward. That set up will fit IMO

    Wheel Offset

    Look at low offset threads on Honda tech and other sites. Familiarize yourself with offset, backspacing, etc of wheels. IMO: 15s are too small for EKs, 16s are perfect, 17s are pushing it on the bigger side. I'm currently running 16x8.5 +20 on my wagon w/ 165/50s I've run 15x8 +0 on my...

    Suspension too soft??

    the softness comes from soft and long travel suspension, not from not having tie bars and braces. shorter/stiffer suspension makes the car feel more 'sporty' which seems to be what you're looking for. Sway bars and such help for body roll when you turn btw.

    Rattle Noise Issue: 1997 Civic

    Don't forget to get an alignment afterwards.. or you're gonna go through your front tires in a couple of months.

    Megan Racing Headers

    You should be fine. I don't see why it wouldn't fit (as long as you have a cat converter or cat delete under the car and not on the header like LXs do).

    0 offset wheels

    0 offset is do able as long as you run enough stretch. I ran 15x8 +0 w/ 165/50s and had no rubbing issues whatsoever, even on a 5" drop. Diamonds are heavy but as long as you're not trying to race everyone in the streets you'll be fine

    B20 tranny axel

    So you have a 97 Civic with a B20 in it and you don't know what axles to use? Did you do the swap yourself? I'd assume you use B series axles, specifically for that engine. Can anyone else confirm this

    0 offset wheels

    offset goes hand and hand with width and backspacing. a 0 offset on a 7 inch wheel is NOT the same as a 9 inch wheel. Do some research on how offset works and such. I can tell you for sure if you're looking for anything 8 inch wide and 0 offset you're going to need some tiny tires like 165/50s...

    noise when turning: 96 civic

    Chances are, it's an axle.

    Muffler options: '96 Civic CX

    Apexi WS2 is the only thing that comes to mind with a low rumble and not fart can ish. Spendy though.

    Wiring Question

    Try to trace the wires and see where they go? if they go to a bundle of other wires like a harness, or goes towards a horn, or such things.
