Default Why is the 88 CRX lighter than the 89

I know why the 88 and 89 are lighter than the 90-91.... BUT..... Why is the 88 lighter than the 89

http://www.crxsi.com/specs.htm

This site lists the 88 at 2017lbs and the 89 at 2138

I figure the 88 was weighed with out the A/C, but the A/C isnt much more than 50lbs, so where is the rest???

aren't the doors flimsier too? i.e. not very much support. i.e you don't wanna get hit from the side.

there is less bracing in all of the door, as it doesn't have to support you in a crash. look at the differences in the top of the door.
i've got a set of both doors that i'll weigh and post sometime to put this to rest.

less bracing in some parts of the chassis making it slightly less stiff , though i'm basing this on what others have said, and i don't know where.

as for model differences, i'll be a little lazier- search, it's all on here.

a million really slow bucks with ugly interior if it's stock...
but maybe that's cause i'm jealous.

the difference in weight between a 88 hf and 89 hf is that ac was an option on a 88 and on 89 it was standard i believe. The weight difference is like 20 pounds. 90-91 hfs are heavier because of seat belts mounted to the doors.
