I'm about to buy a 92 EG Dx hatch from a friend of mine for really cheap. The car has been sitting since '06. we drove it around the block a few times and no ticks or anything. It needs a few things and I'm new to EG's. I usually work with ef's. That being said ive got alot of ef parts. And the EG I'm buying has a d15b7 with a 5 speed tranny.

I.
The axels are going bad and I was curious if ef (either auto or manual) or eg automatic axels will work.

Next question.
The cars ignition was busted at the steering wheel lock but the tumbler is still in tact and the key still works. I was curious if I get a complete EG ignition if there was a way to swap the tumbler so that the key works on the new ignition.

Third question.
Will an ef speedo cable work on my EG?

4.
I know this is a pretty broad question but.
what is the recommended thing to do before driving this car daily? I checked the fluids and the oil looked and smelt fine and the level was good and same with the coolant. I was thinking just change out all the fluids after a day or two of driving it. Is this correct and is there any other recommended things to do??

 

IIRC Auto EG axles will work.

Yes the tumbler can be swapped.

No, the EF uses a cable speedo.

Change ALL the fluids. Inspect brakes, upper and lower ball joints, tie rods, suspension bushings and wheel bearings. Also consider doing a timing belt.

All I can think of right now, gotta go.

 

You friggin' nailed it, at least to my knowledge.

BTW, welcome TechnoRocker to this side of the forum.

 

so ef and eg axels are not swapable? i know someone who just put an auto eg axel in a manual ef rex... he hasnt driving it yet and wont until race season (dirt track car) but i was curious if he will have problems...

Does the EG not use a speedo cable?? reason I ask is cause the speedo pin on the dash is spun around and stuck under the peg...

 

no its electronic, take the cluster out and push it with your finger

 

anyone know of where all the screws are to take the cluster out and the proccess of doing it? or have a diagram? lol... I could show you where every screw, sensor, and relay is in a EF but EG is news to me... :D

 

Remove these two.


CAREFULLY pop out the Hazard Light button.


Remove the screw behind it. Now CAREFULLY pull the bezel out (I don't know where that pic went).


Unplug the clock connector (if there is one)


Remove these screws...


...and the two on the other side. Pull out the gauge cluster.


Then simply unplug it's connectors.

 

aight thx.

 

Ballin' pics!

 

My old B16 beater

 

**** yea they are... does anyone know about the ef to eg axels being swapable?? i dont want my buddy to **** up his race car...

 

I thought the hub spline count was different but I could be wrong...

 

^^very nice how to^^
you should be chargin for that lesson!

 

He stick the whole hub on there and swapped the lower control arms.

 

I'm sure he'll be fine.
