I dont know about anyone else, but i'm primarily an ek (or ej) person, and have never owned an eg/ del sol. Just wondering why these 3 completely different platforms are combined in one section? So what would everyone think about this? *flame suit on*

Former User

Oh no you didn't. EG and EK are kissing cousins who should never be separated. Ever.

The should be a poll.

1, leave it the hell alone.
2, Seperate them.
3, what's the point?

I think it's fine the way it is, I really don't see the point to seperate them.

Im with hyper. Even though I have owned both (currently EG) I hate having to weed through all the EK threads to find a EG related thread.

Especially chassis ambiguous posts like, Will X seats fit into my hatch/coupe/sedan. Well hell, I gotta check to see what chassis they are talking about to see if I can aid with a response.

i sometimes think it would be a good idea, and other times its not a big deal.... but there are times when it would be awesome because the two platform are very much similar, but have lots of differences... example: anything having to do with body parts, interior parts, parts of the rear suspension, odb... the list could go on

Former User

My universe would cease to exist if you guys wanted to separate these Honda fraternal twins. You guys are surely aware that the EG and EK are much more alike than they are different, right?

Ron, I agree with you, I just wish there was a way to differentiate the 2 within the forum. like when posting have to choose between the 2 options (EG/EK) so a notifier would show next to the thread in the forum view.

My gripe is looking at all the threads and not being able to tell what chassis the post is referring to. I know it's more user error (ID10T) but you will never be able to remove that factor.

the good thing about them being together is there will be alot more people who can help! especially if its an ek owner who used to be an eg owner, or vice versa

Former User

I fight this fight everyday by wrestling with our (great) members to post information about what car they own. With that said, EGs and EKs are best friends and bothers with respect to similarities.

Former User

Yes! Exactly!

Former User

I'll also remind you all that the 92-00 Civic/Del Sol forum is hands down the most active of the tech forums. Do you want to dismantle this success?

hyperblu

Well, it just seems that eg's and teggys have more in common when it comes to part interchangeability. Also, i noticed that civics are divided by generation and I see 2 generations mixed along with the sol with this tech forum. I also do not like having to weed out the ek threads, however I understand about the previous eg owners as well. Idk, it just crossed my mind and figured I would ask.

This should be reason enough to keep them together!

i see valid points on both sides..

I'm serious. If an EG female mated with an EK male (or vice versa), offspring would be produced.

We are all with you Ron

I still go back to the ef forum occasionally so that doesnt mean the ef an eg forum should be merged. I like the idea of them being seperated....so what if they have the most activity...its still activity on H-T so whats the difference?

I for one tend to side with Ron on this. I like many other members currently own both body styles, in my case a EH3(EG) and a EJ6(EK) and like being able to find almost everything I am looking for in one forum, kind of like a one stop shop.

I understand the argument, but there is more information that crosses over these two generations, than that which doesn't.

But this is my opinion.

Former User

EG and EK information compliments one another. The combined EG and EK forum is beneficial to both generations, so the combination is greater than the individual parts. A weaker but similar argument could be made for adding EF to the EG/EK forum, with the OBD0 system creating more distance between EF and EG/EK.

I think we should have a form when making a post that has check boxes for vehicle year, model, trans, engine, etc. then it shows up in the post or something

DSMAddicted

^^^ This.

Heck, for this reason, I would even go as far as merging the Teg forum with EG/EK.

kaiba

I think at least year, body style and transmission. Sometime we get noobies that doesn't know what they have under hood.

Cousins make dozens!

I'd like this sub forum to be seperated by EG, EK, Del Sol. Both sides have fair arguments. Honestly though, if it were seperated and the previous owners of a EG or EK wanted to help out someone with their car issues, they can go into either chassis forum to help. Mainly I'd like it to be seperated because: 1) I dislike Del Sol and it's not very popular, 2) I have an EG and I think it's a pain to browse through just to find an EG topic "oh lets try this, *click*, damn EK, nevermind", and 3) It's easier to navigate and search.

Understood about the whole EG + EK = kissing cousins (Lmao) but Integras have interchangeable parts too.

@Ron - EG female + EK male = offSUSPENSION or offSPRINGS haha
