Question What Car Do You Think Is Lighter

I Just Want To Know What You People Think About The Honda Civic 95 Hatchback Or The 95 Honda Civic Coupe? What One Do You Think Would Be Lighter [stock] ? If It Was Me, I Like The Hatch Back Better Than The Civic Coupe. The Reason I Ask Is I Am Going To Build A Civic With A Dart B-18 (thank You)

I'd choose the hatch if I were you. I think it may be a lil bit light plus the weight ratio.

the 92-95 cx hatch is the lightest of the group. Just to let everyone know the cx was weighted with stock steelies, where the vx is weighted with 9 pound rims. You put those rims on a stock cx and the weight difference will be about 50 or so pounds. I have a hatch and love it
