CRX weight diff HF/DX
I currently have a 89 civic si and am going to swap my engine in to a crx for drag racing purposes.. Now why is that the 88-89 HF weighs almost 200lbs less then the dx.. whats the diff.. Id rather have a hf then the dx that i have now.. I have a 89 dx crx whats so heavy on it.

Re: CRX weight diff HF/DX
I have had all 3 models, 88 through 91 at one time or another. When they are stripped down to a bare shell, they all weigh the same for the most part. Its the additional stuff in the DX and SI models that make up for the weight differences, ie, AC, bigger brakes, transmission types, interior differences, sun/moon roof, different exhaust/manifold/cat set ups, etc. Theres a lot of little things that add up. If you plan on stripping it down to nothing, Im talking bare unibody chassis, to build a real drag car with non OEM fab'd/custom front and rear suspension, etc, and all you plan on keeping is the actual unibody, than the model really doesnt matter IMO.

Re: CRX weight diff HF/DX
the main weight differences are from year to year. an 88 hf is lighter than the 91 hf. Most of the cars have side impact bars in the doors, the 88 hf doesnt, ac, and other safety equipment add up. BUt as others have mentioned when they are gutted out race ready they all weigh about the same.
