tell me what you think... i would post pics but i am at work and i am unable to

 

The VX, purely because front end conversions never fit right ... and it doesn't sound like a rice boy, so maybe the car was taken care of better.

 

the 96 coupe has the 99-00 front end conversion... not a crazy front end... here a pic of that car.. i can show that one at least



please dont mind the rims... accually the car is for sale on here

 

ok i figure out how to upload them from a computer at my work (they are secure so you cant really do anything)

here is the VX:

 

at this point you have to decide which one YOU want, opinions are not gonna help.

But If I were you I'd rock the EG as it is in really good condition and its really hard to find an eg in good condition these days.......But I'm partial to the EG...

 

the eg looks very clean

 

Well, that front end seems to fit ok. It's just usually not done right, and there are gaps. I know what goes into a 99 front end conversion, and post people just don't do it right.

They're both fine choices. Pick whichever you like best. They can both be saved.

 

I say rock the EK but then again, I am partial to the ek's

 

I say get the eg, looks better and it is lighter.

 

what are your goals?
i wouldn't get the coupe cause it has gay *** DOHC stickers on it and really shiny rims.
and those eyelids hurt me too
the painted drums are embarrassing
but the conversion is clean

the eg is nice, simple, not flashy

 

i am pretty much doing major mods to the car to make it a show car. No big gay body kits... just a clean/race look pretty much. I think the EG may look better... but the 96 civic has more options on it and it is more comfortable... im still deciding... im getting one of the two tomorrow so we will see what happens i guess

Still open to opinions.

thanks so far

 

i would go for the EK...

i love hatches and all...but maybe its beacuse im getting old. power options are always very nice...and i always love a nice sunroof plus its newer

 

I can't see the pics (at work), is the 96 an EX? If the 96 is Ex i would go for that just solely on comfort (pwr everything), but the EG sounds very appealing with its GSR components. In the end its going to be up to you. I like the GSR dashs, but most of the time they can never get the door panels to look clean.

 

Its up to you in the end but I really like the Eg. Its really clean.

 

eg...I have a biased opinion but in this case it's cheaper and it wil be a funner project. Plus you'll find more parts for the eG

 

I like the coupe especially if your going for a show car like you said. but the hatch is nice to. me personally id go for the coupe.

Accually the guy is saying that the car is a Canadian SI.... did they come out in 96? in canada?

 

yea equivalant to an ex

 

I think that red coupe is *******.

Diggin the wheels

Dith the eyelids, dohc stickers, and boost it.

Don't want anyone thinking you have an Si. Theif factor.

 

Get that Coupe, you are getting by far a better car for just 500 bucks more...and all the 99-00 civic front-end fit right on any 96-98 civic if you know how to put it on..!!!...basic stuff

 

i say option c... find something stock and build it up yourself.

 

i'd get the eg just cause i got one. i love my si.

Money factor...

an EG is hard to find where i live if i do find a half decent one it is going to cost me about $3500

B16 installed by a respectable shop is going to be about $2900

$6400 for a EG with a b16 and nothing else

$4500/$5000 is more in my ballpark as a current daily driver/build

EG ftmfw!, partial to eg's since I used to own one , very nimble and light car, with a vtec motor in it, definitely a good dd/street car. Get either car bar'd legal asap once you buy it, so you don't worry about cops hassling or wanting to "pop" your hood, and going to the ref.
