I don't think any of the hatches came with a RSB. I know my 93 Si didn't. It does have a FSB (21mm).

The Si is also the only model to come with four speakers, if I'm not mistaken - my 93 dx only had two. Also, I'm pretty sure none of the Si models from 92-95 had rear sway bars, not just the 92 models.

A couple of other things (not that they're that important):

VX models were the only model with a front lip like the EX coupe, as well as an underbody "aero plate" of plastic to help with aerodynamics and apparently gas mileage. This was located underneath by the gas tank.

Only DX and Si models have intermittent wiper settings.

Only DX AUTO and Si models had power steering.

That's all I can think of for now, cheers!

the rear speakers are options on all models

but none never came with a rear sway bar on them

and si's are the only ones that came with optional ABS for the hatchbacks
but if you get in to coupes or fo do's thats a different story

also suposly there are some that came factory power windows.. i've only seen a couple but not in person.. and they werent conversions!

and the JDM rear interiors had cargo cover if that would ever be found


hope that helps

i have a 92 vx and it didn't come with a passg. mirror as well why is that. well i think that that is the way they made tha car in japan. cause there you drive on the right side and you don't need a right hand mirror.

Those weights are for 92 manual trans only and are significantly different for later models and auto trans.

In 92 all models were pre-wired for VTEC. After 92, only VX, EX, and Si were wired for VTEC.

In 93 all models recieved driver's side airbags.

In 94 all models recieved passenger side airbags.
