Ive been wondering what the lightest 4th gen civic hatchback, crx, and 4-door sedan weights are for a while and recently started looking it up. The lightest Ive seen was a gutted 86' crx which weighed just under 1600lbs on some drag racing website. I havnt been able to find as much info on the civic hatchback or 4-door as I thought I would though. I was wondering If there was a list of the lightest civics somewhere. I am especially interested in the 4-door civics.
What are the lightest civics you guys know of?

The 86 was actually a 3rd gen civic.
The lightest in each year is the crx hf, and the years go from 88-91 in order of weight. So if your looking for the lightest 4th gen you want an 88 crx hf. I believe that guy comes in somewhere around 1819 lbs.
The lightests hatchback will be the std, which came with a 4spd. And the 4 door would be the dx I believe.

Frodo is correct. The 1G/3G Crx/Civic's were a lot lighter than the 2G/4G. I have my 91 hatch down to a little over 2000 without me in it, but all I have done is remove all of the interior except for the 2 front seats and dash.
I also have a 1G Crx that might end up weighing 1500 when it gets done. This little car is going to be insane.

Theres a guy with an 85 hf with an si engine in it where I autocross..hes got 8 1/2 r comp slicks..wins every damn time. Its stripped down to nothing but a seat, a steering wheel with tach attached to the column, and an ecu attached to the floor.

I've got less than that in mine. The only thing stock still in it is the brake lines and suspension. Its got a z6 sitting in it with the wire harness stripped down to a minimum, getting an aluminum fuel cell(no stock tank or lines), and an aluminum seat. There is no sound deadening inside of it and if I could, I was take all of it off the bottom of the car too, but I don't have that much time.

Yeah, this guy is running some outrageously stiff springs and koni yellows too.. One time he was like "man that corner is pretty tricky. I had to let off on that one" We all just stared at him..
