Default What trim level of hatch to buy?

Im buying a 92-95 hatch, and swapping either a b16a or an b18c1. What would be the best trim level to buy. I know the cx and vx are extremly light. What about the other trim levels specs?

CX or VX would be my choices. Those hatches are so light. I have a friend with a '92 DX hatch with the 1.5L and it keeps up with my loaded 1.6 VTEC Coupe stunningly well. If you're going to strip it all down, there probably won't be much weigh difference between CX/VX/DX once you're done with it.

I was under the impression that ALL 92-95 civics were wired for VTEC...

stripped or not never get an SI (weigh more than EG coupes) or a DX

those black side moldings are EWWGGLYYY looking

no side moldsing (CX.VX) is really good
I passed the option to buy many SIs before i got my CX w/ VX rims

i like my 92 si i love all my options.
Actually I like my Si also. I have no problems with the other hatch models but this Si was too perfect to pass up. I wanted a sunroof, rear disks, and ripped out the A/C and PS anyways. To each his own I suppose.

I DO!!!!!!!

i pulled P/S off my Si hatch... and it never had A/C. did my JDM ITR swap and lots of other goodies.... it runs awesome but i am sorry it is way too hot. i miss all the comfort accessories of my 00 Si. so i am getting rid of it and picking up a GSR. slower, heavier, but definitely more comfortable

i am a ricer.

he prolly lost it and is trying to retype it as we post

I'm pretty sure all CX's don't come with power steering... and I use windows not a/c even though I still have it... Got a Q... Do 6gen cx/dx hatches come with power windows and locks? I think it's just the dx's as an option right? any of them come with sun/moonroofs???
