Since you are going to do a swap you might as well find a clean HF as it is the lightest of the 3. If you plan to race ITA then the Si with its 1.6 is the way to go.

the 88-89 Si's don't have rear disk but if that teg does you can swap it. if you get an HF you need to get bigger front knuckles for larger axles. JaJe knows more on the hf's. the 88 Si has pillar mounted seatbelts, it's the lighest weight of the 2nd gen Si's and it has a different rear suspension that is prefered by some.

I don't think rear discs are all they are cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong, they are definately better then drums, but not by much.
If you got a car w/out rear disc's or even with for that matter, get the big brake conversion. I think it's funny to see people wasting $$ on swapping rear discs when they could spend almost the same amount on a big brake and that'll help tons more.
But shoot, since you got that integra for a parts car, your set!!!! G'luck!!

Only the JDM's came w/pwr windows...not sure about locks though. My bro's CRX has the JDM Power windows. Here's the link as to how it was done. He actually bought the car off a guy who did the work.
