TiR91 Thanks very much for the info, it was very helpful, especially pulling the carpet to look for rust. I never would have guessed the 96 had a higher CoD then my 89. They are bigger too I think. I hadn't thought about the cow catcher, just figured it lowered the car and rounded things out but it probably is overexaggerated.
My time table is kinda short, I want to get something before winter and if I sell the 89 I need something asap. I might end up with the 96, that paint probably isn't cheap though.
How much difference does rpm's make? The CX would be 667rpm difference at 70mph from my Si (2619 instead of 3285,) but a 92-95 CX according to two websites has the same transmission as a Vx so 998 rpms less, but harder to find in good shape and low miles. I have an Excel sheet I made that I enter in wheel/tire size and gear ratios to find out rpms or mph.
Also, I found a complete Vx swap with 150k on it and he has the a/c system too. I know the motor would swap but what about the a/c? I doubt it would work but if the 96 has a/c and the Vx swap has a/c would I be able to rig something together?
What is the final drive on a Crx HF? I read 3.888 but seems like it would be lower. Is there a off the shelf aftermarket way to run a cable shifter in a hydraulic car?
And are hatches more aero then coupes? I like the hatch for room but curious.
Should I rename the post, random help me pick a car questions?
