oh.... and as far as finding a good deal - I looked for almost 3 months. Shopping around, calling people... one let down after another. They were either more than I could afford, or absolutely trashed mechanically. One guy had an AWESOME looking deal on Craigslist for an Aspen Bugeye... so beautiful you could cry. Turned out to be a money scam. I had an appointment set up with Mastro to go look at a SWEET ass psm they had... the guy called me ten minutes AFTER he was supposed to meet me with the car and said he sold it. 3 days I tried to get approved for another one at another dealership, but the finance company said the miles were too high, etc etc etc. 
basically I gave up. If it's meant to be, it will...and I guess this isn't MY year to get one. No biggie... I will just focus on my little ricer. I will still be at the meets 
taking pictures of Chuck's mohawk.

I will still be at the meets taking pictures of Chuck's mohawk. I was very picky with what I wanted though. regal blue (what I bought), black or white were the only colors I wanted; had to have black interior, FL car, under 15k miles and had to be a reasonable price. It was very hard to find considering 05 was the first year of the newest chassis.
The one I bought was the only one that fit that criteria and I bought it no more than 2 days after it popped up on autotrader!
Just keep looking, it will be worth it in the end!

I haven't given up forever. I spent WAAAY too much time on AutoTrader and Craigslist to just forget about it. Unfortunately the time frame just didn't work out. I was basically stuck between wanting to KEEP looking, and NEEDING to rebuild the Civic. The engine was still strong, but it was starting to burn oil. Sadly it wouldn't have lasted me forever, and I didn't feel right selling it all messed up anyhow. I'm just going to fix it up, and then in the long run it will sell for more in the end. I will be on the hunt again, and I will have to get the OP to help me find one!!!!

I'am talking one of my co-workers into looking for a WRX 02-04 to buy for a D.D, he has looked at 135i's but want to pay cash for a car and needs a new D.D his 95 accord ex needs to be retired to say it nicely... So if you run across any more WRX deals let me know too. "Just don't tell someday subie," J/K subie

This doesn't really need a new thread:
How the fudge do you get the front axles out?
I pulled the hubs off, suprisingly simple, and now i have flacid axles stairing me in the face. I have tried prying but i guess being 100 pounds has its disadvantages.
