Exclamation What is the best body to put a rsx type s engine into?

I rolled my acura rsx type s. It was a manual trans. The body is totally shot. Obviously an rsx body would be the best to put the engine and trans in but they are impossible to find in cali. I want to drop my engine and trans into a different car body. What car would be the best? What do you think it will cost me? Any other ideas? All ideas excepted... Im desperate.

I'm sure you can find one stuffed into a civic if you look hard enough.

No, I have the engine and trans. I would be the one who would be doing the stuffing. Would a civic be a good choice? How much would that cost?

I was referring to Google for instructions/ideas, not a completed car.

According to the wiki, your engine is either a K20A2 (before 2005) or a K20Z1 (after 2005). A quick google search for "K20 swap" yields plenty of results.
