Jim Wolf Technologies (JWT) makes stuff for the 3rd gens. Check out their website to see if they have what you're looking for.

Also, is your car an auto? Those auto's can't take too much power, so be aware of that if you drive it or plan on driving it aggressively.

Standalone.
Any "performance chip" out there for a non-socketed-honda will be money better spent on aids infected prostitute. you'll get better performance, and you'll know something actually happened.
