pics are first
cleaned up decent
i still need to clean the interior out better
just picked her up on the 16th, 251k.
most importantly, seats, do ones from any other car bolt in?
what's the cheapest way to reduce body roll? strut tower braces? or?
can i use a d17 shortblock with my d15b2 tranny, head, intake, FI, ECU, etc etc?
are there any holes in the firewall big enough for a 4ga wire? or should i just bust out the drill?
i am loving this honda so far except the lack of torque and the insane body roll.

Good find for sure,
All of your questions are discussed in depth throughout the forums (learntosearch), but I'll give you a quick couple answers:
No seats simply bolt in. Seat swaps are more complicated than that and require some custom fabrication.
Strut tower braces do NOTHING to minimize body roll. For that, you want an anti-sway bar (or simply, "sway bar"). Your front already has one. So either add one to the rear, or install a larger one for the front. Of course, stiffer springs and a lowered ride height will help also.
good luck!
i found some aftermarket LCA's with the hole for the sway bar linkage or whatever on CL for $20, the guy says "94-01 integra, 89-91 crx, 92-95 civic,93-97 del sol, and possibly more civic models" and according to somebody's post on here integra LCA's work
SOme of your questions are already answered, but I can tell you the D17 is completely different from the D15/16. SO no, that shortblock will not work with a d15/D16 head. Also, the longblocks are completely different. You would have to fab mounts, use the OG tranny (or make a old D to new D transmission plate), etc.
