Ek owners I need your input
I currently have a 96 Accord Ex with intake, header, exhaust upgrades. Its a 5spd and in very good condition mechanically. I am looking into selling the accord and buying a 96+ civ coupe dx or ex 5 spd and going turbo. I cant decide whether or not it would be worth it. I just think a smaller car and two less doors would be more fun to drive and the most attractive thing about civics is that you have a hard time finding a company that doesnt make stuff for the d16. I am on the fence right now. Please give me some feedback as far as what you like and dislike about your ek civics. thanks

I like that my EJ8 (the Coupe Code) is prudy lookin
I dont like that Its been in the shop more than its been driven by me. (doing too much work all at once)
I like the extras in the EX over the DX personally, but I dont have any plans for racing with it in the next few years while im at school.
I dont like how 96-00 are theft rockets.
An accord 2dr of that year can look nice, definatly different. I am just not a big fan of the 4 door.
Bottom line, what I like you might not. So do what you want and best of luck.

Re: Ek owners I need your input (JakeIsCool)
Thanks guys..I think the main reason I want to trade in for a civ is how they drive compared to my hosser accord...ty for your thoughts

Re: (vietboy)
If you do get a civic DONT GET AN EX, so not worth it, you will be trading it in sooner then later, or sawping the motor, sold mine in 7 months and got the SI... especcially if you plan on boosting it, way more potential with the b16 or equivilant

Re: Ek owners I need your input (UCLAcivic)
is this a valid worry?
My accord weighs apprx-3040lbs, I dont know the weight of the civ coupe but I know it is considerably less than my 4 dr accord. Will the 107ft/lbs from the lighter civic feel really slow?? Obviously I will do work to the engine but I dont want to get lit up by the person who buys my stock accord
Am I worrying too much?

i love my 97 coupe (EJ8)
if you get one ditch the singlecam go with a bseries ( or mayby even an H22 if you like to drag) DOHC VTEC defines honda performance
personally ive got a OBD1 GSR swap with a bunch of bolt ons, a clutch, and a good suspension setup, like i said I LOVE IT. i had an accord (94) sedan it was pimpin but the civic is much more fun to drive
oh yeah the disc brake conversion is also a must have
just my opinion
