First off, welcome to CC and enjoy your stay.

Pics would help. What color is it? Rust or problems?

Engine: If you got the money, go b-series. Maybe b16a, b18a, or b18c.
Body: Maybe a lip, duckbill.

But most importantly, what YOU want. GLWB and once again Welcome To CC.

Did you look over the car? Check everything out like tire wear, rust in the engine bay. check in the wheel wells, check for squeaky suspension. test drive it before u buy it.

Don't worry, my current and first Civic is also an auto. Gotta start somewhere.

Nothing wrong with them but there's no VTEC. But If I was gonna go with a 2 litre. Id go with a k series.
 
I get a lot of my ideas from browsing through the forums, especially on how-to's.
Also, whats your budget? And are you looking for hp, cosmetics, etc.?

Sweet post up some pics of the ride. and personally i would just rock the steelies for now and just get coilovers or something, but thats just me. sounds like you have pretty good audio going in, I have gay sony xplod deck, 2 12in MTX substhat my father gave me(theyre like 10 years old but they are honestly like brand new still and they still sound like when my dad first got em) and 1000 watt Kenwood amp.
