Default What are the differences between DX & HX?

Besides the wheels what are other differences? I don't see too many HX's and I have a chance to buy a bunch of parts off of one. Does it have power steering, is the interior different? Thanx, Phil

engine & transmission

The HX uses the D16Y5, which is a vtec-e motor

it is designed for high fuel economy, and as such, comes with a different gearing set for the 5 speed transmission, and rather than a traditional automatic transmission, a continuously variable automatic.

interior, body, pretty much everything else should be the same as any other coupe (DX or EX), with the exception of the exhaust perhaps, though I believe the HX/LX/DX share the same exhaust setup even though they don't share the same engines

(HX D16Y5, DX/LX D16Y7)

so in other words.... stuff on the engine may or may not be the same, stuff with the transmission definitely won't, and stuff inside/outside should be

Thanks that helps. I'mjust trying to find out if I can strip entire P/S system (if it even has it)and bolt it up directly to my car.

Yeah, I can't stand manual steering. It drives me insane.

You make it sound like a lawn mower.....unless you're looking to run the a/c down the strip its great to have in the summer......not to mention you don't always have to run it.

Power steering robs more power than A/C. And that's running 24/7.
