I've got a 91 std. hatch that's completely stock and just found a stock low-mileage 92 CX hatch in similar condition. I'm planning to build up a Civic hatch for autocross in street modified where engine swaps are allowed and nearly any other modification. Which car would be a better platform to build? Is there a difference in availability/cost of suspension parts?

Thanks,
Rich

p.s. BTW, the curb weight of a 91 std and a 92 CX are nearly identical.

 

What is the curb weight of hte std models?

I've heard 2,065 lbs and I've heard 2,127 lbs?

 

I'd go with the CX. I'm partial to the EH2's though. I drive a gutted EP car.

Stick a B18 of some sort in there. Remove all legal stuff.

Talk to Rodney in the RR/ AX forum.
