Either a 92-95 or 96-00. Can't really go wrong with either. It all come down to which year model you like most.

I already have a 92-95 and nothing left i want to do to it. If i ever start another civic 92-00 project again. I'm gonna go with 96-98 Black DX and do a SiR exterior convertion.

what kind of racing will you be doing? the 92-95 are pretty light bodies already but then there is the hatch vs coupe.

Once you get down to fully modded/stripped and prepped for racing the weights are about the same.

Driving skill or some other mod will make a bigger difference than 50-100 lbs.
