then come here put "" then the url to that pic, then "" but don't use the quotation marks and no spaces between anything.

Nice to see you're pimping the hatch!
I was wondering if those wheels would fit... did you keep the stock tires?
Looking forward to seeing the completed project!

You got a good start with the right parts.
I didn't know the new body Si was a 4 lug, I could've sworn it was 5.

01-02 civic Si were 4x100 and the newer ones are now 5x114.3.

Be careful when installing that cat, the rear-facing flange is off by about 20-30 degrees counter-clockwise. If you've got a cat-back, it'll have to be twisted to fit properly, meaning it'll jut out underneath your car. Best solution is to have an exhaust shop cut the piping in the mid-section and re-weld it after straightening. Also, the bracket with the hangers will have to be flipped backwards so as they will stay on the hooks. The cat is slightly longer than stock but after the reversal of the bracket, it will fit without issue. Don't worry about how the hangers look after you put them on, they will be angled rather severely but it isn't a problem. The ring aroung the horn button on your steering wheel is very soft, as are the hex bolts that come along with it. If you ever need to re-bolt them, do so very carefully as you can easily round them out. If you haven't hooked up the horn button, it will spin, causing you to have to adjust them every once in awhile. Chances are that it'll spin counter-clockwise.
~Cheers~
This is what I mean about the piping sticking out from under the car:
