kindof hard to tell by pics-does it have rear disc brakes?

 

i wish i knew, because then i would know its an si. the pics suck! is there anyway i can tell by the vin?

 

no sun roof, so i dont think its an SI, maybe a DX cause of the rear wiper

 

Maybe if u check with a honda dealer to run the VIN they maybe could give u info?

 

its not an si, but you should still get it

Thats your best bet, rear disc are a hell of alot better than drum... not shoe.. hahaha shoe is on disc. but i would get a si if i were you. sunroofs are only on si hatches years 92-95. good luck and hope you get a si or... dx

why dx? do dx have rear disc breaks??? i really want to get a cx because its the lightest hatch, and just getting tenzo big brakes in the front. but if i get those then i have to get rims bigger than 15s. some suggestions?

Si is the only model to have rear disc brakes. DX has drums.


(a little hard to make out)

Text here, & a lot more info on the model breakdowns:

Nope does not have rear brakes. that car looks like its pretty clean. id pay 1200 for it.

know what you speak of, y0

shoes are the pads inside the drums.....

 

run the vin, it will show u the model

 

looks like a rust bucket waiting to happen

 

Based on the outter pictures, it can be either an Si or a DX due to the rear windshield wiper. Since there's no moonroof, that crosses the Si out. Too bad the area where moldings would be (if Si or DX) are shaved/flattened out. So, it's probably a DX.

Based on the interior door paneling and seating, it's got 92/93 interior. But if you look at the dash it's got a passenger-side airbag which became standard on 94/95 hatches. So, either the dash was replaced or the interior paneling was replaced.

Based on the rear windshield, if it has the little curved handle-**** thing (that allows you to lift the glass up), then it's a 94/95.

Okay, so far we know it's a DX, but can either be a 92/93 or 94/95. But since the ad does say 1994, we can then determine by the incomplete VIN# (2HGEH2352R)

2 = Canada
H = Honda
G = Passenger Car
EH2 = 3-Door, 1.5L
3 = 2 or 3-Door, Manual
5 = CX 3-Door (1993-95) or DX 3-Door (1988-92) or EX 2-Door (1993-95) or LX 4-Door (1988-95)
2 = "Check Digit"
R = 1994

It could be a 94 DX. Since the VIN# shows that if it were a DX then it could only have been a 92, but it's a 94. Since the rest of VIN# shows it's a 1994 (and so does the ad), then the VIN# also says it should be a CX. So, my guess is it's a 1994 CX with molding area shaved/flattened, 92/93 interior, EX visors, rear glass hatch from either an Si or DX, and the holes from a 3-piece mid-wing from Wings West. If it weren't for the VIN#, my personal guess would be a 1994 DX.

We got past that part already.

 

Considering all the nice clean hatches you can get in LA, just say no to the stuff we have up north. Seriously. Magnify what your salty air does to paint about 10X and that's what it does to the underbody and suspension of the car

 

buy the hatch, and go search for rear disc brakes?

Just buy the car, the most important thing is the amount of miles on the body (if it's the orginal engine then go from the engine miles). The rear drum brakes can be converted to 1994 Integra LS disk brakes in the back with the proper tools. That alone is cheaper and in the future you have the chance for more stopping power.

Or for some 92-95 Si rear brake disks, which may be cheaper since it's Honda as opposed to Acrua. If you get the rear brake disks from an Si that was ABS-equipped, then the rear rotors (and fronts) will be the same as the LS rotors.

 

i would say expect it to be a dx, but could be some weird hatch put together with differnent parts, ie. cx, vx, si, dx, etc

 

what is your fascination with rear disk brakes?? haha seriously man who cares you can those for 100-200$ if you must have them. I would think the better motor and all the other features would be more of a turn on to get the si? But not a bad price id pick it up.

 

Looks like a keeper!! do you get the cup in the cup holder too??
