Help! I can't believe I have to figure out Preludes now, but I need some tips from you ex-Honda owners.

I am currently in Australia, but will be back in the Bay Area shortly and I am tasked with helping maintain my financee's car here in Australia. She's got a stock 5th Gen Honda Prelude (1999 model) VTiR. It's got the VTEC engine.

Can NE1 recommend a fair priced Honda place in the Bay Area to get spare parts or a good source on the web for purchasing Honda spare parts, as I will be taking the parts back with me to Australia:

-4 x NGK IX iridium plugs
-5 x Bosch Premium regular sized oil filters (?)
-2 x Air Filters (good aftermarket ones that don't need to be washed)
-4 x H1 headlights (whites halogen bulbs)
-anything else a Prelude needs replacing??

Any recommendations and suggestions will be extremely helpful.

I would love to take back a Jackson Racing supercharger system, but it won't fit in my suitcase. ;-)

Thanks ppl. (I've x-posted on the B5 & Norcal forums)

H1 headlights: while the white/blue bulbs are nice, they're dont last long, so i would recommend phillips H1 bulbs, they're whiter than OEM and they have much better illumination on the road. you can find those on the phillips website.
as for filters, i would recomment getting a AEM intake, it doesnt require too much cleaning and it gives good millage and performance.
a good place to find cheap plugs is Ebay. thats where i got my Denso(sp?) iridium plugs.
i would get extra sets of tail lamp bulbs, they seem to burn out on a lot of preludes. thats all that i have experience with, i miss that car..
