92 cx or vx hatch, lighter then any car on there, and i would suggest buying another mirror, and they are already wired for vtec, any model hatch in 92 is prewired, so basically i would go for the cx, lightest of them all. and very common, becuase they are extremely economical.

CX doesnt have vtec...as for the weight, edmunds.com

furthermore, what does "any model 92 hatch is prewired" mean?

It means that ALL 92 model Civic's are prewired for VTEC on the cabin side harness. Using a VTEC engine harness on those cars will require no wiring for the VTEC solenoid and pressure switch.
