I've been lookin at two hatchbacks, an ef & an eg. The eg is a little over twice the price (still only $1600) and in better shape, plus its stock, and it looks better. I'm thinkin the extra $900 would go pretty far with the ef, but it brings back memories of dreadfully slow rotted out cone filtered/shiney mufflered hatchbacks everyone had in high school (its even the same light blue color).

So my question, other than the obvious (looks and parts availability) is there any significant advantage the eg has over ef? Something to justify the price, is it any more competent than the older model?

Keep in mind, either car would get a swap probably a dohc ZC for the older one and a b-somethin for the newer one. btw, whats a CX? (compared to a dx, hx, etc) I can't seem to find any useful info on that.

edit: I want to go fast, looks come later, and the payments/insurance on my Si are slowing down the progress.

 

A CX hatch is the lightest hatch you can get. also i know you already said it but the parts available for the eg i such a convenience. i had an ef and went to a eg coupe or ej1 and the parts come five million times easier. IMO build the EM1 or get the eg. i say keep the EM1 though... its like the type r of civics

 

no its not...



thats the type r of civics...

 

^^^^Thanks smart ***. :p

he got what i meant.

 

hahaha, my cars pissin me off so i had to come varnish someones day thanks for takin it like a G

 

Get a EG because its OBD1 and easier to tune/play.

 

Screw the EG6 and get a EK. Thats where its at. Pretty light and sexy *** hell.

 

I like my Si, most people I come across seem to and it's pretty cool when I guy runnin an 11-second CRX likes your (basically stock) car. Thing is, I've built the car on paper and I'd end up with Foose design looks (stock-ish, but better), Viper smoking performance and S-Class Benz luxury, which is good cuz I'd be forced to live outta my car.
The EG or EF build would be simple. Clean looks, good handling, and enough go power to keep those 350z's behind me.


I have one, and it makes me appreciate OBD1, but dammmmmmmmmmm don't it look pretty.

 

enough power to keep 350z's behind you?....... your joking right?

 

eg d16z6, obd1, interchangeable with 94-01 tegs

 

duh...them there 350z's are like 12 second cars

 

(ef) go old school brahh.

 

go ef yourself and make it all jdm..... sexy

 

cx is lightest but comes with practicly nothing power!!! (Lowest)
but look at the bright side no rear windsheild wiper

id say eg!!! its nicer and newer!!!!

 

If you're ready to spend that money, get the eg and the b-somethin. Plus they're sexy. I'm a fan of classic hondas and i still say get the eg.

 

EG and turbo/build the D-series. It's good for quite a bit of HP.

 

eg hatch ftw.
do it.

 

i'm all about the da/ef's always have been .

but after picking up my first eg and doing a turbo ls i see why people like them. .obd1, cx is soo light, and parts are super easy to come across.

do the eg

 

b in a ef..... light and fast.... more reliable then a turbo setup.

 

cx's are the sex btw

 

get a hummer and just crash into cars trying to pass you.

 

yea cause hes gunna find a hummer under 2k.

 

lolz cx is not the lightest vx is... in eg form that is. get an Ek and save yourself a lot of trouble...

 

build the EG, i have a 92 si that I've had forever and a 96 ex that i picked up last month to roll around in while the hatch is under the knife. build the hatch and keep you em1 safe hommie!

 

Get an EG

I <3 EG's!
