Hello all! I just wanted a couple opinions. What do you guys think would make for a better auto x vehicle a 1985 civic si or a 1987 crx si? Considering swaps and or stock motor. Stricly for autocrossing. Please do not post if you only want to talk trash or don't have an opinion. Thank you!

Essentially the same car, the '85 is slightly lighter and comes with the preferred 13" wheels vs. the 14's on the 86-87. The 85 uses the standard body pieces of the other models, the 86-87 uses unique cladding and bumper covers.

Nothing wrong with either car, I would buy the one in best condition.

well, in 85 there was no CIVIC SI, only a CRX Si. and generally the CRX's are better cause they have shorter wheelbases, and easier to rotate. very good CSP car.

Ah ok well the crx was sold :[. So now I must find a good autocrosser. So would an 85 civic be carburated? Because I do not want to go that route.

E-AT_me

yes it will be.

with enough time it can be converted to fuel injection.

this is true also. what class do you want to run and how prepared will you be making your purchase?
