What hatch to buy, 93 Si or 96 DX
The 93 Si is stock, but has 15" Konigs, tint, exhaust, great condition.
The 96 DX comes with I/E, lowered on 4" adj with camber, part riced out. The guy who owned it like paint some dash things.
I can get both cars, but I DONT KNOW what one, an suggestions?

SI!!!!
The DX weights more, has less goodies. and doesn't have a VTEC engine a rear sway bar or disk brakes in the rear.
OH, OBDI vs. OBDII (better yet, tunable vs. not tunable.)

The SI actually weighs more but your choice really depends on what you want to do with the car. The SI is a good choice for a fun car right off the line. The D16Z6 is a great engine for what it is. If you plan to do any serious upgrades, particularly an engine swap, i would pick the DX. Its LIGHTER to begin with, has more room for serious performance and its a newer chassis.
Of couse you could do the same things to the SI with the same ultimate results, I guess it really comes down to price and condition. I like the SI personally and the 5G hatchback style is my favorite among the civics.
Just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

Re: What hatch to buy, 93 Si or 96 DX (Obee1.8)
Oh yeah,also,the 93 is off the Integra platform,so from a budget standpoint almost all the parts are interchangeable so many can be obtained from salvage yards etc. and still be an "upgrade"
