True. But 4G hatches use the same chassis' as CRX Si's et. all, so they're pretty damn tight from the factory as well, even with the hole in the floor.

 

depending on what you want to do with your 91 in my opinion it is better than other newer civics, because they are smaller, lighter, and in opinion look better. But parts are becoming scarce, bodykits (if your into them) are crappy. big brake kits are far and few between. but you can put and honda 4 into it thanks to hasport.

 

I hear that [:@]

 

Um...sorry, Kappa, I know I'm new here and you seem like a cool guy and all, but I call bull**** on that.

In Japan, many drifters got started drifting fwd cars. Especially pertinant to this thread, however, is the fact that there was an EF hatch built to drift on the cover of Honda Tuning last year. The guy was not only competing with Sylvias, he was whipping their asses. It can be done.

I have a 91 hatch, and no, no disk brakes (I didn't even get a goddamn fifth gear stock [:@]), and they're, in my opinion, the best Civic to build up. They're the simplest, one of the lightest, and basically anything that can be done to a later Civic can be done to this car - only cheaper. You can pick them up in non-running condition for nothing. OBD was just a bad dream at the time. When it comes to imports, it's all about the early 90's - that's where the magic circles of technology, simplicity, and light weight met. Later models are heavier, more complex (in ways that have nothing to do with going faster), and of course more expensive. Plus, no one expects that boxy old hatch or sedan to be anything at all - they make great sleepers. Just leave the 18's for someone who needs to look like a 2F2F reject if they're ever going to get laid.
