I requested this last year, before the enlightenment, and IIRC got a "Thank You for Your Input."
Comparing the ever popular ITB GTI and ITA CRX Si with the Civic/CRX DX, it looks like a pretty clear cut case for the DX to be in ITB at about 2175 to 2200lbs.
For your consideration...
Manufacturers Listed HP
GTI - 105 (1991)
Civic/CRX DX - 92 (All)
Civic/CRX Si - 110 (All)
Current GCR Weight
GTI - 2280
DX - 2225
Si - 2140
Power/Weight Ratio (based on Man. HP and IT spec weight)
GTI - 21.7
DX - 24.1
Si - 19.4
Compression
GTI - 10
DX - 9.2
Si - 9.1
Displacement
GTI - 1.8 liter
DX - 1.5 liter
Si - 1.6 liter
Engine Type
GTI - 4 cyl SOHC 8v
DX - 4 cyl SOHC 16v
Si - 4 cyl SOHC 16v
Fuel Delivery
GTI - EFI
DX - DPFI
Si - MPFI
Suspension
GTI - F&R Ind Strut
DX - F&R Ind Wishbone
Si - F&R Ind Wishbone
Brakes
GTI - 244 disc/244 drum
DX - 242 disc/181 drum
Si - 242 disc/181 drum (legal update to rear disc)
This is in my opinion another one of those unexplainable misses from "The Dark Ages." Why in the world would the DX not only be listed in ITA, but at 85lbs HEAVIER than the CRX si!?!?!?!
No way, no how, can anyboby give a reasonable explanation for that one.
Should I resubmit the request I submitted last year???
