Thanks, the DX is a hatchback so maybe it's labeled wrong?

The Ef's are a lot lighter too.
And the CX
96 Honda Civic CX hatchback- 97,850 miles
You can't see the Honda rot in those pics, but the one's they sent me it's decently sized and the bumper is dropped down on both sides by the wheels so the attatchment points are gone.
They claim it's a Blitz which is name brand body kit for $1k and $3k paint job so I hope it's not put on with wood screws
And also if it is a Blitz it might actually be more aero. I'd of course be making the grille a whole lot smaller. And the clear taillights and projectors would be gone too. I'd also probably sell the 17" wheels and tires after I got it or put them on mine to sell.
The Si does is geared for more acceleration for sure, at 70mph I'm at like 3350rpms. It didn't say what motor was in it but it's not multi-port so it's a D15 something. Wikipedia was where I got the 70hp thing said for 88-91 hatchbacks.
How different are the motors? Mine runs great, I'm not worried about the 18hp as I half throttle mine at the most but does dual port instead of multi-port injection make it less responsive or is that something that only matters at higher rpms? I don't go above 4k either so regular vtec wouldn't even kick in for me
The CX is maintained well but that rust scares me, my 89 wasn't too much worse then that but it had underbody rot too I didn't notice and it got worse. It's fixable if you don't plan on driving in winter I think. And I have a MPGuino that I need to fix I could use instead of a scan guage as well as an a/f guage I haven't installed yet. I gave up on looking for a Vx in my price range rust free.
