1988 (lb/kg) 1819/826
1989 (lb/kg) 1834/851

I thought these were identical cars, 15 lbs is something.

They both have door mounting seat belts and no side impact beams in doors, or so i thought. I couldnt find any answer in the crx weight differences thread or in the faq.

 

I thought only the 90-91 models had door mounted seatbelts? Also, the weights shown say that there is a 25kg difference between the cars, which is 55lb's.

 

all true

826kg = 1821lbs
851kg = 1876lbs

the sales brochure for the 1988 CRX does say that the HF weighs 1819lbs

the 89 model has different rear suspension from the 88 model

 

My 90 HF with me an almost full tank of gas F20b engine and a autopower roll bar weights 2260lbs.

 

Yes my fault a typo, all 88s and 89 hfs have pillar mounted. Not door. I know.

So what is the weight difference?

I see people saying 89 hfs are the lightest, but it doesn't make any sence to me

 

Is it just the lower control arms and fork type shock on the 89's that differ?

 

So no one knows huh?

 

??my 88 crx hf has door mounted belts??...I'll check the vin, maybe something's not right with this $200 shell???? good luck

 

doors can be changed out.

 

then either someone is using vins from another car or your doors were swapped out. either way something isnt stock

 

90 doors (seat belt doors) cannot fit in a 88 chassis. it simply wont work.

you can put 88 doors on a 90 because there is more room for it.

joe, your car is NOT an 88.

 

I dunno, the vin indicates 10th position(year)= "j" =1988......
Maybe the the vin has been swapped, but the car has clean title????
