IM sure you can get a EK as light aas a EG once its totally stripped. For example Proconcept Race car Ek weighs 850kg without driver.

EG FTW...
If you gonig to build a race car, u are gonig to reinforce the chasis and change all the bushing.
dont know why ppl say EK is newer blah blah... same shit, everything is going to get changed..
EK's look like a big rice bubble anyways.
To OP... can I ask what catagory you are planning on running in?
Not 100% percent sure yet. But I will be entering in pro racing with the car.Quote:

If the EK can go as light as an EG civic then its a very good option for me.
Keep the comments coming guys its very helpful. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I reckon EG.
I think you could build up an EG / EK to what your asking for similar costs.
I say go with your preffered option.
I reckon EK will give you more confident and enjoyment on race track (circuit) more than the 100kg benfit that can give from EG!
Except you go for drag racing!
OK now WTF do you mean by pro racing?? :confused:Quote:

Thats pretty good advise.Quote:

In Australia, with a Honda Civic EG or EK, you're looking at:
(1) Series Production Car, or
(2) Improved Production Cars
The rules for each of these racing series are in the CAMS website under CAMS MANUAL. It tells you what you can do to the car and as such what you can't.
