If you feel there's a loss of power, check your compression and if it looks off with very low compression and while a cylinder that's higher then you would have to rebuilt the head with new retainers on the intake side, check scarring cylinder walls. That's usually the case and the same with mine. Or if they had agreed without hindsight I would probably trade it and get that 00 model.
goodluck
, as far as refinement, I did not care much for the improvement only soft-top I would plan on changing

The 2000 as far as my limited knowledge goes has a plastic rear window which hazes over and can crack in cold weather. And yeah 3 bad coils will make the car feel anemic as will the airbox lid off. Its nice for that loud v-tec sound but does nothing but harm hp wise. Get a cai for sound instead. Once your coils are good and that box top is on you should feel as if your driving a brand new car... hopefully

WOW!
huge difference for the positive!
Seems my '02's previous owner was running the wrong plugs so
I installed NGK's which helped but idle was still off so a tech
determined my IAC was the problem.
So much for the car lot with diagnostic tool determining
I had 3 bad coils.
So we changed out IAC which was clogged up with carbon and then
the tech did a type of induction blow-out to rid car of excess
carbon and this car is night and day now..wow it screams!!
Have been considering gearing not sure now car is awesome...
but I still have air-box cover off I don't understand how
this could effect VTEC? I mean the car will be rolling
so it won't be heat soaked and the cover off just allows for
more air-flow correct?
