ah, in that case...

6th gen: What's really stupid, HX and DX coupes are actually lighter than the hatches. That pisses me off because I thought when I bought mine, it would be lighter..oh well.

5th gen: The hatches are pretty light. I think that a DX coupe might be lighter than the Si hb though.

ugh, 99-00 Ek hatches are so heavy.

BTW, I hope you aren't saying that EK hatches are lighter than EG hatches

The EG hatches are sweet, that would be my choice, and they are lighter.

I like my 92 VX(hatch)...it's the lihgtest of the bunch and also has the EGR wires so you can do an H22A swap if you want.
