88-91 Civic/CRX to ITB???
I requested this last year, before the enlightenment, and IIRC got a "Thank You for Your Input."
Comparing the ever popular ITB GTI and ITA CRX Si with the Civic/CRX DX, it looks like a pretty clear cut case for the DX to be in ITB at about 2175 to 2200lbs.
For your consideration...

This is in my opinion another one of those unexplainable misses from "The Dark Ages." Why in the world would the DX not only be listed in ITA, but at 85lbs HEAVIER than the CRX si!?!?!?!
No way, no how, can anyboby give a reasonable explanation for that one.
Should I resubmit the request I submitted last year???
