Hi,

I'm getting ready to buy a 92-95 Hatchback, but i need some input.

What is different from the CX to the DX? the DX to the VX? and so forth. Is it worth buying the low end CX if i'm willing to dump some money. Or would I be better off in the long run getting a DX, VX, or SI???? Thank you.

 

search son....

the vx is the lightest, cx is next to lightest with the shittiest motor ever made, then the dx which has a few more creature comforts, then the si which i think is the best cuz it has a Z6 in it, rear disc brakes, and it just drives better.

 

I know all of that stuff. Someone told me the CX is lighter than the VX, but I'm going to tear the engine completely out anyways i don't care about engine i'm talking about extra features are they worth the hype or would i wind up replacing those "extra perks" in the SI anyways.

 

I want power windows, but i don't need it. how much weight does that really add? Also Can't i convert the dx to power with the new door panels or is that just a waste of too much money?

I just got hit by a semi in my 92 4 door lol. I got 2500 from insurance and they let me keep the car. So i'll probably get another 500 outta the car. Plus i have money saved up so i got some money to drop. Is it worth buying and finding an SI for 3,500-4,000? or should I buy a cheap DX for around 1,500 and just drop the rest of the money into it?

 

Get an si, put internals in it and get a turbo. You won't have to worry about all the problems of doing a swap and wiring everything up to get some horses, although you will have to worry about tuning......

The si also starts with all the better stuff, unless you're gonna strip it and drag race......... after all it depends on what you plan to do with the car.

SOHC turbos rock!

 

Well it'll be too expensive to find a SI with low enough miles to do the internals of the engine. I would rather get a B18 and build those internals. SI's are so hard to find and when you do they want 4,000-6,000 for them. Hell save up 2 grand more and i can just go get myself a Impreza RS for that.

according to honda, the VX is 9 pounds lighter than the CX. i guess it just depends on where you get your info.

 

Si all the way

 

another vote for the Si!

It's a fun car to drive until you save enough $ for either a swap or a turbo kit. You also get the tach which I feel is absolutely essential.

Just be diligent in your search. I got my '93 Si for $2900 -- stock everything and it has a sunroof, which I personally like. Some of the purists will say that it just adds weight. To that, I say BAH!

 

i got an si as my second car gotta have the sunroof, feel uncormtable with out

 

cx is my vote then swap the motor

 

I say go SI probably just cause i have one but make sure the sunroof is functional cause that **** is expensive to fix

 

cx is the way to go !!

Ops! I was trying to type VX. The economy trim. The VX is 14 lbs lighter than the CX.

Word...

 

Si sunroof is the **** .. i miss my sunroof i had an ex but the problem was that it was auto and i sold it and bought me a manual dx so no sunroof for me

 

Si man

 

SI!!!!

 

Looks like i'm gonna try for that SI.

Anyone know a good site to search for them? or know a friend selling one within around 200-300 miles of Cincinnati, Ohio???

I want one stock guys. I don't want one thats been molested hah.

 

actually just to let u know...cx and vx weigh the same

Good choice on the si. U can get a shell without the engine for like 1500, then drop a b16/b18 in it... power n sunroof are the ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ah... what the **** those it matter. I'm sure some of you guys plan is to make it into a drag car. So i would say CX, DX, or the vx. It's not gonna matter that much. You guys gonna strip it to as much as possible swap motor maybe some of you are even hard core to fuel cell.

Hah... anyways i like it when people said what the **** is a VX?

Sorry i thought i read this is a daily driver

 

your basically buying the si for the sunroof. i really dont think the difference in weight matters between dx cx and vx. if you swap i dont think it will matter what you get because i think the difference in weight between the cx and vx is in the motor.
