there's not a lot of difference for the 89's other than the motor.

x = present, o = absent

dx si
x x tacho
o x red trim on seats and door linings
o x sun roof
x x front sway bar [identical]
o x rear sway bar
o o rear disk brakes

all interior creature comforts are pretty much identical. other than
that, the si has 185/60-14 tires, dx has 175/70-13's, the si shocks are
supposed to be slightly different, but you'll never notice, and the si
has twin outlets on the muffler vs. the single on the dx.

both are SWEET vehicles. even the dx goes like a bat out of tegger's
underpants.

if you want to convert to the si motor, there's a number of write-up's
on how to do it on the net. biggest issue is the wiring. if you don't
want to re-wire it the hard way, you ban buy a kit from boomslang.com.

all-factory original crx's are rare and highly coveted. be happy!
