Rex or hatch?

Well, with the departure of my EX Sedan in a few days I will be project-less, especially since we got the Mazda fixed. I want a 4th generation civic but I cant make up my mind whether I should get a CRX or a Hatch. I know where DX versions of both are and I'm keeping what's in-tact of my EX to do the "Si Conversion" but my question is what's the differences between the two or is the body all that seperates them? The reason I'm not going with another sedan is because I prefer 2-doors instead of 4.

Don't stoop to the CRX level (:finger: to all you CRX owners hehehe).

I think there are alot of differences between the two though. Body parts aren't really interchangeable (unless you don't mind changing several of them). The interiors are quite a bit different as well. With a hatch though, you'll have alot more room and some decent rear seating (unless you rip out your back seat like me). And alot more cargo space if you need it. Plus the hatch looks cooler. I'm not sure what the curb weight is on either of them, but I think the CRX is almost as heavy as the hatch is...

More room is a good thing when you are a big guy like me Anyway, I think both cars I found are automatic, what should I yank from the EX just to make sure I can convert it? clutch pedal and shifter w/ linkage is all I can think of, anything else I need to grab? The tranny is shot so obviously I dont need it as is the clutch cable.

Damn that CRX is sweet, it would look better if the spoiler didn't stick so far off the back, but I guess the wiper would get in the way then, but shave the wiper, what do you need it for.

That is indeed the nicest CRX I've seen (with the exception of Worshp's CRX). Welcome to the board.

SORRY

Didn't want to cause any confusion, that's not my CRX...

I was just saying that I'm going with the white outside and red inside the opposite of the picture.

MUCH PROPS TO THE OWNER.

THIS IS MINE...

my beater 323 is the only "riced out" ride I'll have, mainly because I gotta have something to test idea's on

Well, I'm still torn between the two as to not knowing which one to go with so I'm going to just get the engine first (since I DO know what engine I'm putting in it) and work on it and once I get it the way I want it I'll start looking for a body.

I'm gonna start a new thread on asking what I need to grab from my EX to make sure I have everything just in case the body I get is an automatic.
