Question

Hi all,

I'm going to be looknig at an EG GLi today, I just wanted to know a few things about them.

How do they go (compared to the VTI / si)

Which engine is in it (i know its the 1.5) , but is that the carby or twin cam?

If carby, how much is it for a twin cam / vtir conversion.

Do they have 4 disc brakes?

What is standard on the car? i.e. windows (pwr) etc

This car has done 200k. has custom interior (white leather and huge ass stereo), altezzas and an exhaust.. ohh plus chromies.

Realistically, whats it worth??

Cheers!

about 7-8k

cheers!

Helps with the price, anyone with info bout gli's?

GLi should be injected(hence the i in GLi), the SOHC D15B7 motor??
From memory, they are drum rear brake tho :(

not as much torque as si, not as good top end like vti....

its not gunna be auto is it? cos auto gli's are dog nuts, my mum has one...

Nah its a manual..

Is it hard to transfer over to an si motor?? or is it easier/better to just dump a b16?

Also, what would i need to do to dump a b16?

Do a search for the engine swaps. However, since you havn't bought one yet I'd tend to recommend just saving a bit more and getting one of the cars that come with the engines you want. Especially an si or a vti. Unless you particularly want an eg with a b16a or some such. Will save so much trouble. Plus you get the other little things like 4 wheel discs, rear swaybar.

my sister had one for around 2 years but just recently wrote it off. it was completley stock standard. ill help answer your questions...

How do they go (compared to the VTI / si) - i have a vti and the glis dont stand a chance, vtis and si are compared similar - so ive been told, so wouldnt match an si either... from driving the gli, they have not much torque and fairly flat throughout the range. just a real basic get around car.


Which engine is in it (i know its the 1.5) , but is that the carby or twin cam?

- they are a single cam fuel injected


If carby, how much is it for a twin cam / vtir conversion.

- b16a conversion or b18c with everything, brakes, mounts, transmission etc etc, looking at around $15k+ (from jdm yard)... better off buying a vtir.


Do they have 4 disc brakes?
- fronts are disks, rears are drums


What is standard on the car? i.e. windows (pwr) etc -
standards = power windows, mirros, steering, air con. all the basic features. vtis have sunroof and cup holders though :)

This car has done 200k. has custom interior (white leather and huge ass stereo), altezzas and an exhaust.. ohh plus chromies.
- chromies suck and just add weight to your car...
- 200k is way too much
- leather is cool, but white leather = dirty easily

Realistically, whats it worth??

my sister got hers which was a MINT 92 model with 65k on it 3 years ago... YES A REAL FIND for only $9,000... it was from a one owner lady in a decent location.
this type of package would be near impossible to find again however any under 100k should be no more over $9,000 - just be smart about it and look around at good locations, lady owner, and one and only owner with logs.

honest opinion, buy a vti or si, it will probably only be around an extra grand. plus u get extra power, better motor, more features.

so what engine does the 93 GLI have?

Looked at the civic owners thread, and there is not mention of the 1.5 litre model.

How many kilowatts/ torque, weight etc????
how do they go??? if anyone knows, the guys also got extractors and an exhaust on it

Thanks!

oh, here's some pics of the car
http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/Deskt...ias=carpointau

17" chrome wheels, FULL WHITE LEATHER interior, sports exhaust, sports air fillter, lowered, extrators, chrome back lights, 6.5" speakers in the front by apline type R, 4" in the back, two 12" subwoofers in the boot by alpine type S, alpine MRO-M609 amp, still have original back lights and exhaust.

(does it sound okish???)

search it on google man. good place to use is www.redbook.com.au

most of their information is correct. from memory, GLi is EFI and its a 1.5L. Where as VTi and Si are 1.6L

the power for VTi and Si is 96kw. all cars are Front wheel drive.
VTI- SOHC VTEC
SI- DOHC no vtec
GLi - from memory is SOHC - no vtec

vtir convesrions vary between diff motors and conditions. expect something from 3k-7k installed for civic/teggy vtir motors. hope i helped

i rekcon its worth about 6.5k
