Roughly how much lighter is a CRX than an hatchback just stock?

 

depends on the year
heaviest CRX a lil over 2200lbs

lightest hatch 1950 or so, the lightest CRX HF 88 can be striped down to about 1750lbs. depends on the year and make of model if you want light get a first gen civ or CRX.

Let me be more specific, 88-91 hb weight Vs. 88-91 crx???

 

If i am not mistaken i think that a 88dx hatch is lighter than a 91si crx.

 

i just weighed my b16 crx si today...2055lbs...not bad huh? its basically stock...cept stripped AC system...and stripped the interior out of the back...and of course the B16 added some weight

 

What year is your si, if you don't mind me asking?

 

my 88 CRX HF - 1815lbs

 

well I was actually asking thekori, but I almost want an HF now... instead i'm stuck with the bastard child of the EF world; the DX

 

88 crx si down to 1890 with lst

 

If its any help you can go to http://www.autotrader.com and click on research and compare. You can get model info on any car new or used.

wouldnt a STD hb with b16a weigh almost the same as a Si with a b16a since the things that really make the hb lighter are smaller hubs,4speed instead of 5 speed..and no rear wiper..Im sure a STD would still be like 60lbs..

 

2338 lbs=1990 civic si with b16a+full interior+two 8" subs with box

sometimes i wish it was 200 lbs lighter...

it would be if you took your subs and rear interior out when you race well... maybe not quite..

 

where did you go to get it weighed??? did it cost anything?

 

i went to the landfill...it was free.

 

Thats cool, i'll prolly get mine weighed soon!!!

 

It's hard to compare weights since there are alot of variables. For instance, the lightest 1988-1991 CRX is lighter than the lightest 1988-1991 Civic HB (1988 HF at 1819 pounds vs 1988 STD HB at 1989 pounds). But things can get very complicated for alot of reasons. For instance, the 1991 CRX SI is lighter than the 1991 SI HB. BUT the 1989 SI HB is lighter than the 1989 CRX SI. The reason? 1989 Civics did not have door mounted seatbelts but 1989 CRXs (except HFs) DID. And, of course, newer CRX SIs weigh more than any of the older HBs. A good rule of thumb is that CRXs are lighter than HBs of the same year AND trim. Except for non-HF 1989 CRXs.

im pretty sure the 89 hb weighs more than 89 crx..the belts dont make it weigh any more..its the door reinforcement bars that all 89-91's got..seat belts dont weigh 100lbs..

 

hatches are like economy but still look good

 

try the hatch, the crx hatch is a bitch to lift with no shocks its gotta be way heavier than the civic hatch

 

Tru thehatch is heavy on a crx but dont forget all the xtra metal a hatch has its wheel base is like 4 or more inches longer and more metal on the roof....backseats etc..that stuff adds up

 

But the move to door mounted seatbelts made the reinforcements necessary.
