i know there's frame damage... but they said its repairable...

should i take it back? ( it had jdm front and i think i get it back)

or should i swap it into a EK hatch? how much would it cost to swap everything into a hatch?(engine, suspension, interrior, brakes, etc..)

 

swap it. if your a do it yourself kind of person you will save some $$. but if you have a shop do it for you , be prepared to shell out some flow. you thought your R was quick, wait till u drop that in a ek hatch.


SPEC- R EK HATCH.

 

Swap it into a EG chassis. Everything fits.

 

everything swaps into a EG chasssis? what about the EK? i'd rather swap into an EK... try and get it as close to a CTR as i can....

 

u need SiR mounts. otherwise its a direct fit.

 

Find a clean VX chassis. Strip it bare and swap everything from your R. If you think you were fast before you ain't seen nothing yet!

you should try to get whatever you can and put it into an eg, its the ****, and the swap isn't that hard at all.

 

ya I agree with the other people. Swap that thing into an EG chassis. The car responds so well when you put that kind of power into it, a vehicle like that with your 'R' motor will pull so hard, and you have so much extreme potential for further improvemnt it isn't even funny. Most people only get to dream about that, you can actually do it. I would!!!

 

nobody likes the EK chassis huh?

 

I like the EK setup. Depends on what year your R is. I would prefer the EK, but if is obd2 then you need a obd1 ecu my friend. Everyone here talkn some good stuff thou. My eg is off the hook with just a weight reduction(back seats, spare, and relocated battery in hatch. I could amagine a R motor in that for real. I Its going to cost more to get a EK , unless its a high mile on. Heres a red one, but i prefer black,silver or white, later....

ooo,, my fault that a automatic, lol

 

haha... thats more work

 

whut??? sir mounts into an ek??? uou need friggin civic Si mounts son (motor and tranny)

 

siR (canadian model) Si (USA) mounts SON.

SPEC-R EK HATCH

 

what do you guys think the chances are of my motor and tranny being shot from this accident? (i was going about 5 mph, the other guy about 35, radiator just barely touched the heatshield on header)


and... i need mounts to put into an EK? i thought it dropped right in??

 

Axles or shift linkage maybe but doesnt sound like you messed up anything. Your okay my friend , Hey to much talk lets get that swap out and into a ek or eg ,, im ready to get started , Everyone get you 10 socket , lol

out!@

 

B18C5 in an EG= can't go wrong. Even if you put the A/C in there as well, you will smoke most hondas while your A/C is blasting.

 

dont know about the ek, but I can definitely say that my eg hatch with my b18c5 is by no means a slouch!

 

eg huh.... i just like the ek style that's all..... so you guys are all saying that the eg would be faster? and which AC compressor wuld i use to have AC in an ek?

 

putting my c5 into an EK hatch only makes my car a teeny bit faster than a real ITR doesn't it? if in which is true... i'm just gonna look for another ITR

 

teeny bit? yeah, if 1.5 seconds is a teeny bit. . . .

 

1.5 seconds.... okay i'm rethinking that idea over again

 

I think if you want it real fast, dump everything into an EG hatchback.. but if you want the looks of a CTR to go with the engine, and are willing to sacrifice a few splitseconds (i hear the EK hatch is a *little* bit heavier than the EG hatch) then i'd go for the EK. Of course if it was me, i'd go for the looks and grab an EK hatch Count yourself lucky, they don't sell EK hatchbacks where I live
