Doing an H22 swap, need a car.....which is lighter a del sol or a hatch? Thanks in advance.....

 

How about researching it on the internet? There is nothing wrong with doing a little homework...

Just to answer your question since it seems you DON'T want to research, I'm willing to bet the Honda Civic CX hatch is the lightest out of all.

actually it depends on what options it has in it

 

the civic vx is lighter than any other 5th gen hatch and del sol

I spend hundreds of hours researching.....sometimes asking a question is just faster. But thanks for the info.....

 

Del Sols are heavy as hell, stick to Hatches!

 

if you spent hours you would know that. depends on the model of the car. Si hatch is heavier thant si del sol i believe but cx and vx are pretty light. Also depends on year

Go with an ek hatch... no heavy power options like the del sol plus a bigger engine bay. A del sol with an h22a will be a real tight fit... you'll have more room in the hatch... I recomend finding a nice ek(96-00) hatch like mine. Make great projects... plus you can still fit five ppl when you need to and have a spacious trunk. The hatch is better... easier to mount new motors in... has more parts available for it... much more spacious... lighter... just nicer in my opinion. h22atch

 

ht is not your google. u cant spend like 3 mins and find out which one is lighter, save room for people that have better questions

 

hatch is lighter, but i think a crx hf is the lightest

Del sol is the same weight as a 92-95 Civic Si. Reason being it has all the same options as the civic si plus more stabilization in the frame since its a Targa. It's not "HEAVY AS HELL". All model years came with power windows and most with power door locks. Along with the rear power window. I believe the S weighs about 2350, the Si is 2400 and the VTEC is 2450 roughly.

 

The 88 CRX HF weighs in at about 1800.
That's the lightest hf for the 88-91 models and uses type r box style rear lca. The 89-91 hf gained some weights.

The CX and VX weighs in at around 2100.
My 94 cx weighed in at 2200 exactly, that's with a system and misc. stuff in it.

The del sol is a pig. Need to say more?
There plenty of post on here about car weights too.

 

Just get the hatch... Too many Del Sol's around nowadays

 

eg ---vx ... the only way to fly !!!!! j/k

 

only difference between DX and CX is the rear windshield wiper..

 

these are all 93 models stick of course info from http://autos.msn.com

CX Hatchback - 2094
DX Hatchback - 2178
VX Hatchback - 2094
Si Hatchback - 2326
del sol s - 2277
del sol si- 2396

wrong... DX generally has cloth interior. a foot rest, and other options and not to mention the 8 valve to 16 valve engine comparison..

too true. i actually wish i had a sol

 

gvwr for my 94 sol si is 2975. You have to think too though, they add 200 lbs per seat for the passengers (so if the car was weighed with no one in it, it'd be 2575)

 

The CX, VX, and DX model hatches will be lighter than the Del Sol - period.

...and there's so much bullshit in this topic I'm not even bothering with it any more. You guys need to research facts before you go off saying incorrect bullshit like "there's only one difference between a Cx and a DX..."

The link to the topic explaining all the different specs between the various trim levels for the Civic hatches is RIGHT IN THIS VERY TOPIC ALREADY yet people still post bullshit.
