Default opinions on my trade-

Ok, i got my flame retardent suit on-

I traded my eg hatch for this. I was tired of a more-or-less gutted eg Si with no a/c and power steering. I am putting my turbo b16 in this (as we speak) as well as doing the 5spd swap. (EK is/was auto) Not to keen on the whole r34 kit but for now......**** it

My EG... (body was kinda rough..no a/c, p/s. I had removed it all)


This is the replacement....again not really feeling the whole bodykit. But for an even up swap for my eg...i'll make do!


This is after a wash and wax- Kinda a fucked up camara angle

Don't be so sensitive, you said you wanted opinions.

Any idea of what kind of wieght savings you are getting with the new chassis?

I'd say not a bad trade at all. You did get a newer car, so right there it was worth the trade.

Yes it has a front bumber....its the r34, its being "reworked" to fit my type 24 .

No weight reductions planned yet. Shouldn't really need any with my setup- Although lighter is always better

I just meant going from an Si to the DX/CX hatchback, but I think the newer hatchback's weigh about the same as the old Si's.
