not much considering the weight difference between teh 2 is like 47lbs or so... thats goin off of teh 5spd sedan vs 5spd coupe

wow!!!

thats it for weight dif...but how....i'm assuming the 4 door is longer to make room for the doors...i figured it would be a couple hundered pounds....at least 200! wow...so performance should be about the same comparing 5 speed models????

The sedan is actually a cm or two shorter than the coupe. The chassis is the same, that 1 or 2 cm difference is actually from bumper design. nothing really.

well the wheelbase, and overall dimensions are the same, except the sedan is a little taller

Difference is that 4 doors gets 4 people in and out faster. Safer for people with babies. More carrying space for your groceries and will get you from point A to B within +/- 0.0000001 secs faster/slower than a coupe.

Well, if you've ever noticed, and im sure you all have, the doors on the coupe are really long to allow for backseat entry (that sounds weird) and they're also a lot heaveier. The doors on a sedan are fairly light, especially the rear doors. The car is slightly shorter, as someone mentioned, but its also taller, also mentioned. So really it was taking the same dimensions and weight and reworking them into a 4-door and only adding a barely noticeable weight. So really, i dont think there'd be much of a difference between the two.

it makes sense now that i think about it...cause my coupe doors are huge compared to the sedans.......wow...i always just assumed there would be some sort of performance difference.

the only real difference if any is the handling, the center of gravity is lower on the coupe because the roof isnt as high like 2"...

Depends on the driver.

well obviously it depends on the driver......a stocker vs one with i/h/e and pulleys...that can be a drivers race too if you have a semi bad driver in the modded vic and a good driver in the stocker...thats why i love vics. Mods can even up the playing field but its mostly a drivers race.

I thought the coupe came from the sedan chassis, not the other way around

Sedan was designed in Japan, coupe was designed in California, Hatchback was designed in Europe. Styling differences show it all.

well I've got the coupe and my bro's got the sedan. Both 5-speed and the coupe feels a lot faster. It also feels as if the gears are different. Maybe just me though.

do you know if it's possible to swap the chrome trunk piece w/ the lights for the plates for the panted piece on a coupe? are the measurments the same? visually, they look it.

I'd think that a 5spd coupe wood b lotta faster bc of weight and I guess aerodynamics....

 
Rep Power: 339

well there isnt much of a weight difference between teh sedan and coupe.. so that much is neglegable.. u should conisder the profile of each of the cars... the coupe has a shorter roof and the angle of teh windshield is shallower but again.. its a civic.. so it dont really make too much of a difference either way

2-doors do not = faster car when comparing the same car on the same platform. You would have to put 4 big *** coupe doors on a sedan to make some logic out of that.

Yes, the hood molding does fit, I put it on my sedan. I am in the process of ordering the trunk license plate molding (in black, same as the hood molding). And that will also fit.
