g'day poeple,

i m new to all this vtec power, but not new to the world of KWs :) , i m currently driving a twin HKS turbos Soarer, and i've also have the whole supra running gear ready to go in the car, but unfortunately, other plans have arised, so i m kinda "downgrading" :D . so i m in the market for a Black EG Civic VTI hatch, not worry two much about the extras, is it possible to get this car for under 10k, just thought i asked to see what u guys/girls opinion are, or whether i should look for an Si inteads.

thanks guys

btw. are EG Civics hatch generalised as a chick's car? :rolleyes: just curious hehehehehe

Before I was introduced to the power/potential of Hondas, I had my heart set on a TT Soarer.. very luxurious car! =] the v8s especially!

A real top quality hatch will be difficult to find under 10, but not impossible. You will probably just have to search hard and wait around for a bit. I know a friend that just sold his for 9, but mechanically it wasn't GREAT, neither was the body (few dints and scratches).

If I were you, I wouldn't limit myself to a VTi only, the EG Civic SI produces the same power, and is a DOHC motor. They are both very *similar* and great cars. You might have more luck if you dont just limit.

d00b - No, the VTi come in both Manual AND Automatic =]

hhnnmmm thanks guys i want a black one with white rims :D i like it hehehehe

the Soarer V8 has alot of options, but the GT-TLuxury is much better.

another options i was thinking is getting one smashed EG for cheap then then get the engine i want, paint the whole car if need to, and do from scratch to the way i want it. but i always have to ask mysef... do i want the headache? :D building cars are pain in the arse....

hahahahaaha (Psyklops) i m just curious, i got two mates to drives a EG Si, and GL carby, other then that i m seeing 99% of EG drivers on the street are chicks hehehe

maybe i mates are gay :D hehehe

9.5k for a 95k vti, not bad, maybe i'll be that lucky.

i remember reading a thread where ppls VTi didnt have discs.... so i freaked out and checked out mine, calmed down when seeing a disc :) phew. So then i presumed that it must be the hatch VTi's that dont have discs

all EG Vti's have 4 wheel discs.

VTi Coupes have rear drums.

You can find EG VTi's udner $10k if you search around carefully.

Black is very hard to find, rarely under $10k, and usually riced.

Best to get a Red or Blue one imho, black is so overated.

damn........ if only the EG coupe were available in right hand drive.

Bennjamin, i know the answers have been answered, but wouldn't mind a littel bit of more insights into the world of honda. :)

BTW, if anyone is looking for a honda prelude 92+ shape, vtec engine conversion, rooted bottom, for 3700$ look in the sydney tradingpost. i would take it off their hand ina heart bit if this was a eg civic.

dude, should have brought the 8g cash and wave it in their face, then they'll be tempted to sell it. :D

if your not worried about the engine, why not get a standard gli or something and the do a conversion to a b16a2....??

Also i would look at getting an si, even though its not a vtec it run well and is easier to make quicker than the vti.
