Hours after I posted that I picked up an EK to tinker with. I may have some of the parts you're looking for. Feel free to PM.

Recently got an email from Rockauto that there was a ton of parts on closeout, so I decided to empty my wallet a bit:
Including some wheel well liners from eBay as well that I need to install, I picked up:
Alternator
Intake + Exhaust manifold gaskets
Crankshaft seal
Exhaust donut (for when I replace this one piece exhaust)
Air filter
Tie rod ends (inner + outer)
Front camshaft seal
Lower balljoints
Power steering bellows
Brake rotor + pad kits (front + back).
I think all in from Rockauto was ~$430 shipped.

Score! Looks like you got some fender liners too.
Thanks to S-FLY for the hookup:
Integra (I presume GSR) seats on EK rails.
eBay header
eBay high flow car
knock off momo wheel (needs hub, anyone have a hookup?)
Single DIN sony headunit he had lying on his shelf.

This is sweet. Makes me want another civic.
Update, because I'm lazy to update:
Installed the Integra seats. Much comfier and better bolstering. Swapped the EG rails on, and now the drivers seat has a slight wobble. I need to pull it out and verify the rails are tightened down properly.
Finally got around to getting a quick disconnect hub. Because I had to remove the SRS clock spring (cable reel), I don't have a horn wire right now, so I need to wire one in. The horn button also doesn't fit great, so I'm debating between getting a better wheel, or just replacing the horn button.
Also installed the header, because I picked up a new o2 sensor, and it was as much work to replace the header than just the o2 sensor.
I also ordered a BT addon for my s2k OEM stereo, so when I get the car back, that plus the stock radio will be going back in, and the stereo in that will go into the civic.
I still need summer wheels/tires, and I still need to dial in the height on the coilovers.
Also, now the SRS light is on, so I need to defeat that... or pull the bulb. #justoldcarthings

Replaced the "cheapo" momo with a used Nardi wheel. Much more solid, much better looking. Waiting on a new horn button before I get pics. Still need to wire in the horn to the hub as well.
The other day, I noticed a whirring sound from the rear. I suspected wheel bearings, so I jacked up the car, and checked them out. Both wheels had no bearing noises, however the rear passenger spun freely... With the ebrake engaged.
Pulled the caliper apart, and the piston was partially extended. Pushed it back in using a c-clamp, and it wouldn't extend any more. Brakes not ebrake would work. Ordered a rebuild kit, pulled the caliper off, and the ebrake mechanism was completely seized. I couldn't find any corrosion or pitting on the piston, and figured the entire thing was just borked, so I grabbed a replacement one.
Slapped on the new (remanned) caliper, bled the brakes, and it's much happier. Ebrake works on both sides, no more rubbing sounds, and the brakes grab wonderfully.
The next two issues I'd like to tackle are that the entire exhaust rattles like mad on startup. I suspect the bushings are shot, but it's also one big exhaust shop special with no cat or resonators. I'd like to replace it with anything aftermarket, but I'm too cheap to even buy the $300 ebay options.
On top of that, when you let off the gas to coast or shift, you can hear a very small *tick* sound from outside the car (windows down). It's almost like an arcing sound. I wonder if one of the leads is somehow shorting, or if an engine mount is shot. A cursory visual inspection doesn't show me much, and I'm also lazy.

Car is up for sale, as I have a new vehicle on the way. It's on kijiji/fb for 6k, but I would let it go for less if I can avoid the headache of the public.
