Default better shell for hybrid..

ok, im deciding on which shell to get.

EG or EK.

the ek is going to be like 1-2 thousand more.

is it worth it?

whichever i get, i plan on R'ing it out... JDM ITR engine, tranny, ecu, 5 lug, suspension, etc.

i heard that the ek is more stable @ higherspeeds

I'm partial to 92-95 hatchbacks but either generations would make for a great hybrid project. I don't see how you can go wrong with either choice...as long as it is a hatchback

The EK is around 200lbs heavier than a EH CX or VX model.

That's about the only downside. Otherwise, they are very similar.

EK would already be OBD-2 for the ITR swap. If you get an EG you would have to convert OBD-1 to OBD-2.

As far a looks go I like my EG

Don't convert the EG to OBDII. Convert the ITR motor to OBDI (much cheaper and cleaner).
