keep and mod OR sell and build

[norm84]

how you going peeps, as we all know that everyone here has been bitten by the modding bug.correct! and everyone want that lil bit of extra power. for me its been a lil bit of a doozer as iv come from owning TT GTO, GTR's ect....

now my lil dilama is, im trying to decide weather i should sell my Eg, and build a Ek ground up with a b18c7

or

keep and modify my Eg.

its mainly for day to day use, also 1/4 mile and maybe later on might hit the track.

currently only engine mods to my Eg is b16 with itr headers and cat back and a SRI. i know the mods are endless for these motors but and what iv done isnt even the tip of the iceberg, but i dont really want to spend $$$$$ to find out that it would of cost me less building a MORE MODERN car with a better engine to start with.. you get me.


so please enlighten me with you experience, and maybe what you have seen or heard from other ppl..

thanks

You have already begun modding your EG so I would stick with that unless you prefer the EK chassis which some do a & vice versa.

Do you plan on keeping things NA?

What times do you want to achieve on the strip & track?

[IEVAQ8]

a cost effective and easy power upgrade......................

from my experience boost it...............if u get the right gear (creat ur own kit) and a good tuner, u will love it.............

[JetSir]

ill choose an EK as its more modern and build it up =D
EG are getting out dated interior wise

[4age8u]

il keep moding the eg its lightes and looks better that the chiks car ek l0l

[Xen]

EG is just as good as EK, just depends on how much TLC the car has recieved in the past. If your willing to work with your car it shouldn't make a difference anyway. The question is WHICH chasis do you prefer more?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Why not have both?

Chuck a EK front onto a EG and you're set :p

all iv done is put ITR headers back exhaust as well as SRI. the car already came with a chipped computer and tein suspension
i pretty much want a day to day car that can do mid 13s, id be happy

was thinking that, but the reason i went to honda is i wanted vtec, had too many turbo cars already

i was actually thinking about that today.. lol
and wouldnt mind doing it but its alot of F*$k around. iv seen pics but dont know how they do it..





they main reason i would go Ek is due to its shape, as it dont look old. but dont get me wrong. i love the eg too

[rayb3na_]

buy my car? LOL

[MWAKU]

il keep moding the eg its lightes and looks better that the chiks car ek l0l

arn't eg's and ek's chick cars?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

arn't eg's and ek's chick cars?

no.

But then again Preludes seem to be more of a chicks cars (and Boats)

:edit:


buy my car? LOL

:thumbsup:

Do it then.

Money and Patience is the key.

I don't get where people get off calling EG's old, their not old, lol

[MWAKU]

issert, so EK is a girls car and EG is boys car as seen by non-honda people?

like don't get me wrong but i love both of em but i dont see how you can say EK is a girls car (if u have to) and say the EG isnt

cool i drive a boat i know that, but then again better then driving boxes all together

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

issert, so EK is a girls car and EG is boys car as seen by non-honda people?

No, outside communities view them as the same thing, Honda.

They both have terrible examples so why not?

[MWAKU]

yea im not following you

i walked into a car dealer, my mate was looking for an EG, the dealer goes, buy the toyota, the eg is a girls car..

thats the non-honda community im talking about, when they associate a model car with a gender.

if you associate the EK as a girls car, what do you associate the EG as? a boys car?

[norm84]

my bad shogun :P wasnt ment to call the all mighty Eg's old. i recon there awesome. was meant to say they dont look as modern as Ek's :)


as for the rest of the thread. com'n ppls lets try to keep this clean and on topic please... girls car, boys car, hermaphrodites car.. its all a car.. dont matter what sex you are. true??

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

my bad shogun :P wasnt ment to call the all mighty Eg's old.

No, wasn't taking the piss or anything, merely an observation (not directed at you)

Reality is:

EG's are still new
ED's are getting on in their age
AH's are old.

[MWAKU]

i don't associate any of the civics as a gender car

but i just wanted to point out to the bloke who called the EK a girls car, that if he calls that a girls car, how does that make the EG a boys car

just stick with the EG, why would you waste money if u have a good enough base to start off with. the EK aint that much newer, only by a few years whats the point

[DNY*BOY]

why not leave ur daily as just that mate , by a built eg/k with b or k swap save time and money? and as for the gender thing honestly think about it!

lol yhe i know you were'nt. i just had to reply :P
i might keep this as is and build a Ek, then once done, ill sell my Eg :cool:

[Jarkz]

This is getting way off topic lol

just whack in a B18C in your EG and your set for your goals.

If you get sick of, or prefer EK, just do the swap over.

Every car is a chicks car to some degree unless you drive a truck or bus.

[MWAKU]

other wise just whack on a b20 or something

or b18c head and gearbox

[ASSaZiN]

keep the eg, you have already started. I think Eg look better anyway.

why not put the b18c7 into the EG?
