I really don't want to go through the headache of trying to sell the sti and finding another good s2000.

How many miles on the STI?

What are the rear pin mounts? I'll probably find out when I see them

The OEM top has two big pins that drop into the side catchers behind the doors.

Thanks man. My soft top exploded earlier today. Any tips on taking out the soft top?

STI only has 17,3xx miles! You won't find one with this kind of miles anywhere close. Car is in great shape. It's not my daily either so it doesn't get driven in the rain and I'm only currently driving it once a week or maybe twice so mileage will climb very very slowly.

Take out every single trim piece behind the seats, including the roll hoops. And the seats. It helps to have a second person to take the soft top frame out. If it's your first time, expect to take most of a day doing it.

That's a great find but why the need for awd? Maybe what you really need is an S2000... Bad weather and dirt roads is where the STI shines. PM me an offer if you're really serious about getting rid of it, I'll have to see what the going rates for kidneys and lungs are these days.

You weren't kidding. Face down in sh!t creak. Not a single plastic clip survived this massacre.



But in the end it was well worth it.
