Hey there all, I was on this site way back when I was in High School which was like 9 years ago!! I had a 92 Milano Red Hatch that was nicely put together, (I will see if I can post a pic), But I had to sell it and now I have a Frost White Integra. I sort of still like the body style of the EG and it doesnt quite compare to the DC.
I was wondering if anyone else has had to or has wanted to make the switch from an EG to a DC like me. And what was the differentces, and likenesses that you found yourself criticing about your latest ride. Whether you went from an EG to a DC or vise versa.
Thanx- Civilized

 

Only thing I dont miss about my hatch is the handling. For some reason tegs handle better than eg hatches to me atleast

 

I'd like to know too. Possibly will be trading my dc for an eg and I'm wondering how different it will be...

 

EG chassis always caught my eye and always owned one for life. DC chassis is good too, its more of a solid chassis. But EG chassis is lighter.

 

I just recently bought a 98 integra gsr and I have to say for a total stock car it handles very well. My bf has a 96 EJ6 4 DR and he's done some work to it and man my car handles almost as well as his does.

 

I have a dc and I'm trying to buy a 94 hatch fer my old motor =P.

 

What? I tend to disagree, unless you are talking about an ITR. I own CX, and it handled better then my GSR. Now that I have my sway bars in and Buddyclub N+ suspention, it will out handle my GSR anyday...and DC2 has ITR sways with a Tien type flex tuned 6F 10R on EDFC. The EG is just more agile due to curb weight, and body size.

 

These are interesting aspects. I mean I had a 92 cx hatch and that thing was light and I could get up and go. But on the other hand it was a small SOHC engine, and even with mods that I did (I/H/E) it still seemed not powerful enough. The stock RS Integra has a DOHC engine in it and I feel a difference there, and with the handling it has to do something with the stock rear sway bar. I havent done anything to the Teg yet just minor cosmetic things, but looking to maybe just do the (I/H/E) and leave it at that. I mean This is my daily driver and can afford someone ripping it off. I was scared all the time with my hatch because of the popular body style.

 

If you want your DC to handle better, I say get the ITR front and rear sways, and add some generic tower bars and lower tie bars, I assure you that it will handle alot better then before.

 

I plan on getting some of those too, I mean I had them on my Hatch and they worked great for tight turns. Thanx JDM

 

i went from an ej1 to a dc recently and wouldnt go back. i love my dc4 to death!! i like the looks of the eg/ej a little more, but my integra feels better performance-wise. but to each their own!!!!

 

Post up Pics of your Hatch/Integras or both.

 

 

 

There are many MEGA threads for that...back to the topic.

I have owned both a EG and a DB. The EG had a lot more road noise and just felt like it was going to fall apart. My integra felt much more solid and comfortable even with aftermarket suspension. I know the EG chasis has the potential to be quicker, but I'd rather counterbalance that factor with a little luxury. Acura's overall feel much smoother than Honda's IMO. The EGs seem to be more bouncy than DC/DBs no matter what you do to them.
It all comes down to a personal preference to be honest.

 

This is one way to get a topic quicly locked.

 

Whats the plans??

 

i've had a 94 eg hatch and i have a 95 gsr now, i like the gsr alot more, bigger rotors, 4 wheel disc, better handling, over all nicer car to me..

 

I switched from eg to dc. I liked driving my eg better because of it being smaller and being able to zip through traffic. But I would still switch to my Dc for my upgrades!
