Hey guys,
I've recently decided a Honda is the way to go. A buddy of mine has a VTI-R EK and it's really cool. It's outwardly stock except it's got 4k put into the suspension and it handles like it's on rails.
So I've decided I want one - except probably an EG/EH GLI 4 door. Restore the suspension and set it up similarly to him coil overs etc then later do a vtec engine conversion as money allows.
I'm not after a crazy fast car - just a fun run about that's cheap and reliable. Plus that roar of the VTEC!
One thing though - is it even worth getting a EG anymore? I could probably stretch to an EK money wise but I'd prefer not to and spend the saved money on suspension/brake mods - they seem pretty much the same aside from outwardly appearance. Are they still worth bothering with?
Once thing thats important to me is that the locks work - I hate fixing car door locks. My Nissan skyline r31 has ****ed locked and fixing the passenger side was a massive bitch - but now the drivers is ****ed too and it's basically the most annoying thing ever.
