well, i have an ek rite now, and im sellin it, for a swapped eg.
i do like ek's better but i want a fast car, so i decided to buy a swapped eg..
wut do u guys think?

 

why not just get a swap for your ek

 

It's entirely your choice... but if it were me, I would keep the ek and save for a swap... just my $.02

This might help...

 

thanks, i shouda searched but, eg or ek is hard to search since its a 2 letter word...
i made up my mind, i guess i was in a similar situation as him. im pickin the other route, im goin wit a eg...

 

Im not harassing trying to get you to search or anything...just thought it might help you out a bit..It is hard choosing between those models.

Good luck.

 

I don't like the idea of buying someone elses project... u never know what your getting unless u know the person.
I would keep ur ek and just d.i.y.

 

i was having the same dilemma a few months ago. i went with the ek and have been really happy with it. i think they just look so much better than the eg's imo. just stick with the ek and get a swap and maybe some boost.

 

since you already said you like ek's better i think youd be happier in the long run if u just kept it and saved for a swap

 

What swap is in the eg?

 

imma have to agree with nub-96ek on this 1.. im not really into buyin somebody elses project either.. that takes out have the fun of driving a nice car knownin that u didnt do any of it.. keep ur ek and just swap that... i think ull be much happier drivin somethin u tuned and built i no alot of people that had bad experiences with buyin other peoples projects or junk.. if u think about it.. 80% of the people sellin there cars that have mods done to them are getting rid of them because they no somethin is wrong with it

i found this line kind of funny.

 

I dont understand what it is with so many people needing others to make their decisions for them. If 500 people say to get the eg or 500 people say to keep the ek what friggin difference does it make. It would be different if you were asking what were the pros and cons of each so that you could make up your own mind. Sheep being lead arround by sheep. Sorry im not attacking you just venting my own personal pet peve.

 

OBDII will be a problem especially if you live in a state like I do where they plug right into the ECU at emmisions testing. This really limits what you can tune.

 

no in most states you can get a vehicle evaluation that will waive the ecu connectivity portion of the test.

 

id say sell your ek, buy an eg and swap it, i think egs are nice imo, and you'll have money left over from selling yrou ek

 

I have an EK as well i would much rather keep the better looking of the two and make my own fast car. and as far as the emissions if u get a b series swap all u need to do is keep an obdII orig ECU to pass emissions as long as there is no engine light then your all good, keep your ek do u really want an older car

 

if ur gonna buy a swapped car, dont u think it has been abused to a certain extent, might as well get a swap for ur ek

Compression and leakdown test will tell the motor's condition. Also, I feel much safer buying a car that has been redlined more often than an 80 year old grandma driving it... you need to clean the engine every now and then.

I've known a guy on local forums for about a year now, and I am going to be buying a b16a EH2 hatch tonight from him... I feel totally comfortable, because I know that he would not screw me over.

 

KEEP EK, DO a SWAP

 

i have both, its a hard decision
