I am trying to sell this for $2500, i have it in the marketplace, so im not trying to sell in this thread.

Im confused tho, i dont know if i should really get rid of this thing. Give me some opinions if i should or not, this is everything done to the car...

-z6/y8 mini me swap
-5 speed
-Del sol front seats, blue/red stripe
-Stanley sidemarkers
-HID kit
-Datum1 front/rear bronze tow hooks
-OEM siR front lip
-KYG AGX shocks all around
-Runs smooth
-Transmission is very smoth, no grinds at all
-Straight body
-Alignment is perfect
-Wired for vtec

 

Looks like a pretty clean car...how many miles does it have on the body, engine, etc.?

 

looks clean, but what are you trying to trade for?

 

-181k on the body/block.
-not sure on the head.

Looking for an EF sedan, similar to like what i used to have. Or at least a good base for me to build up.

 

Some better pictures would help out a good bit

 

y down grade? just keep it.

 

x2. major down grade

 

x3 major down grade.

 

standard HT stage 1 upgrade.
if you want to go back to an 88-91 civic sedan doesn't sound like you want to advance it past mediocre. do whatever but maybe try harder with this one first.

 

better pictures would do it some justice. that glare hurts mi eyeballs.

 

why not have both, just save up to get the ef and make it your project car. eg around my area are super rare i hardly ever see them i would drive it till it falls apart.

 

Keep it.

 

Yeah but in Cali there are tons eg's!
Op is just trying to go old school and build a nice ef 4door do what you feel op its your money and your decision

 

just keep it. not a fair trade.

 

keep it...unless you just want another project

 

trade it for a sedan with cash on top. that way youll have money to spend on the sedan. I just sold my 91 si and bought a 96 Dx hatch, i kind of regret it so i know how you feel. on the other hand the dx hatch has an ls. but if i were you id trade with some cash on top.

 

I say stick with the eg, better platform in my opinion

 

Mediocre? according to who? And honestly, i'de be "downgrading" by only one year. This is a 92, i could get a 91 sedan.

Look above a few posts, i've had a super clean ef sedan and i regret selling it.

Better platform for what? I've had fast cars, im a grown *** man i dont need to be hauling *** to work every day. The difference between the eg and ef sedan is that one is primarily built for speed, while the other has more of a "low and slow" aspect to it.

Im actually thinking about going the vw route. Found a few A3 jettas for sale under 2gs.

 

In my opinion I would say the eg is a better looking platform, I know the ef chassis can look good with some work but I would keep the eg. They are sort of a dime a dozen from where I am from though so that could be a reason to go a different route. Ive heard efs are much better "drivers cars" though, considering the lack of powersteering it is more you driving than a machine.

VW are actually good cars despite most people's beliefs, parts are usually cheaper than honda/acura but the issue is the time it takes for labour, which is worse than working on a honda for simple things like oil changes. I would say that they are quality cars though considering how they were built and the parts that are available

 

Are you saying that EF's dont have power steering? My LX sedan had power mirrors/windows/locks, with AC (not hooked up) and power steering.

My eg has manual mirrors/locks/windows, NO AC and no power steering.

I like to cruise, more than i like to drive fast.

Im patient when it comes to working on cars, so the possibility of a vw being "harder" to work on, doesnt scare me away. Im just not very knowledgable when it comes to vw's.

 

Sorry I didn't know that, all the ef's i have been around were completely manual.
If you are able to find an ef again with all those luxuries why not go for that? Like you said you want a cruising car and the eg you have doesnt have those cruising luxuries, I don't know man I would either find another of those ef's or find a clean eg with the luxuries you want, I still like the look of the eg more but to each his own

 

keep the hatch sell those ugly *** wheels

 

yeah get a real paint job, sell those Drag wheels, get a nice Bswap and call it a day.

 

Id keep it, ive finally learned that its not worth it to start over, u always get someones jacked up headache of a car that takes forever to fix. I just got mine the way i want it and its been since november when i bought it.

 

By your responses you obviously want another 4 door so just get one. Its just a honda if you change your mind you could always get another EG there are a ton out there.
