i think the original poster has gotten a good taste of what people think about the two.
Both are great cars, some may have its advantages and some may have its disadvantages in area's. But in the end they are very even.
Now the thread has just turned into an EG FANBOY vs EF FANBOY war.
personally i picked the EG because in my eyes the eg is newer and has a nicer shape, but others may think differently and we are all to our own opinions.

afraid so, i was bugging an importer a few months back about trying to get 88-91 civic with B16a but to no avail, closest thing i could import would've been 88 civic with a D16Quote:

What makes a eg6 so special? That you can't mod a aus spec eg to be same if not better? Only thing it has is its rare cause of seats, and gathers gear. Not worth getting genuine eg6 unless its cheap.
Get a eg hatch and put a b18cr in it.
If i had to choose between eg6 and ef9 i'd go ef9 cause its harder to source parts to make a replica ef9 then to make a replica eg6.
Good luck finding a good condition ef9.
you could say the same for ef/ed models.Quote:

yeah, so either way, all audm ed/eg never got the dohc vtec models. only the imports do.Quote:

Yeah I've got an EF8 with the standard B16A. Just done a ghetto CAI (temporary) and it has RS*R headers and a 5Zigen exhaust and man it goes pretty hard. Considering some internal work also, stage 2 cams, springs and retainers, head work etc...
My EH9 is just my daily and is nice to drive but nowhere near as fun...
So if you can't source an EF8 I'd go the EF9 anyway coz it's a nice shape, doesn't weigh much and has the B16A stock so you don't need to mess around with any swaps and just do ya bolt-ons.
dougie what power you getting out of yours?

when are you going to get one
why dont you post some pics of your mates ?

I've heard Curry chicks fuck well, I'm sure OP could prove the theory correct.
A social experiment? We'll chuck $ into a mutual paypal account for a skyrine (lol) and see who gets laid most by what nationality.

And yeah, then I might get it dyno'd :)
All I know is that over on CRXAustralia.com there's a few guys with I/H/E EF8s who are making 110kw+ atw, probably after a good tune.

I'm happy with my B16A and if I wanna talk about it I'll ****ing talk about it. I don't need your permission. I also won't conform to somebody else's "MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOUR'S" mentality. I love my car for what it is, not what somebody else thinks it should be.

B16's still shit

In all seriousness though.
A EF9 vs a EG6 on paper wouldn't be all that different (or atleast to what I know)
They would both have a B16 which give or take will be pretty close (depending on condition and modifications if applicable)
The EF9 and EG6 have a similar weight (not too sure on how its carried) I think its 100kilo's at most difference.
Suspension is virtually the same and is interchangable.
EG6's aren't as 'rare' in the component department though EF9's have more goodiness they are growing in age and are getting hard to buy body parts for (not forgetting rust)
Its really OP's choice whichever shape he likes the most.
rear suspension is almost identical.Quote:

Although both are still double wishbone front suspension setups
Just they control the forward/rearward movement of the wheels in a totally different way.
refer to this thread.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116320
But its interchangeable, isn't it?
yes it is, you will need very good welding & engineering skillz
haahahahaha.
May aswell convert Torsion bars to DC5 Macpherson struts then, lol
Whats so god about JDM cars? wouldn't it be better to buy an aussie delivered and build a motor to suite.
you could build it to what ever specs you wanted it toQuote:

Eat. Sleep. JDM.
JDM is genuinely cool man. I'd rather buy a JDM car with a nice JapSpec engine than an AUD one which has been mod'd and messed with loads.
why cant you import an ef9? i read before because of import laws but what is it specificaly that stops it? is there anyway around this?
Australian regulations say that you can't import a vehicle more than 15 years old. That's pretty much it I think :(
its not 15 years. they call it 15 year rule but not really.Quote:

that means i can import eg6 manufactured in 1994? dont think so.
but i can import cars manufactured before 1988. figure that out.
I just thought of a weakness for the EF9.
The gearbox.
Not much of a 'weakness'
Just means if it shits bricks you have to rebuild it or get a Hydro one.
I can think of weaker weaknesses then that. That weakness is WEAAAAK.
I know, I'm just tip toeing around it help the 4G boys out :p
hey deeJDM, you dylan? its GTI-07 from GOLFMKV. i have a black ef9 with b18c2 with everything(coils and rollcage) ill give to you cheap cheap? you selling the golf, ill be itnerested in a trade with cash.

Hope that clears everything up. Don't think so? Figure that out!
Poof.

I'm surprised the poll is as even as it is.
ive got an ef9 and was thinkn bout selling it, but after reading this thread its kinda changed my mind.
long live the ef9
any pics of these carsQuote:

But as was said previously, why bother making it to EG6 specs, if you gona do up an EG you would make it better then EG6 specs anyway. All an EG6 is, is a very lightly modified civic done by Honda, wow.
EK9, DC2R, FD2R etc these are true wank factor cars as you can't replicate these cars with bolt ons as they all have chassis specific mods aka DC2R has thicker wheel arches etc etc
So by saying that other EG's with B16a's in them and mods that meet or exceed EG6 spec are not the real deal your saying it wasn't assembled by Honda, true but who cares, wow, how crap they all must be as they wern't assembled in Japan.
I better never rebuild my engine then cos it was done for JDM by Honda and if I rebuild it it won't be the real JDM deal. lol People get to hung up on JDM way to much, its hilarious how much $$ and pain people will go to just cos its JDM.
If everytime you open your bonnet and you go weak at the knees when you glance at the plate that says EG6 then just buy one, otherwise build one or buy one that that is better specked.
All the fastest track civics in Oz are neither EF9's or EG6's but just normal EG's and EF's that have been modified.
EK9 and up are where Honda started paying attention to chassis mods that go beyond what the eye can see.
Cars generally get better the newer they are thanks to technology and no the FN2 is not better then an EP3 but the FN2 isn't even a Type R is it, its just a badge. The JDM civic Type R is the FD2R and yes that is better then EP3.
So if you must get a JDM civic, EF9 or EG6 go the EG6, it is a better car and you don't need a silly OZHONDA pole to tell you that, honda do not make newer cars worse then previous models and the EF9 was not some civic nirvana.
Like Lan said, some people just don't get it all together. Simple as that:)Quote:

EG6 and EF9 are cool but at the end of the day its just bolt ons done in Japan and if you use it for circuit work all the stuff that makes an EG6 or an EF9 special either gets ripped or upgraded anyway.

Its just the little things, where the JDm model is just so much btter than the AUDM counterpart and when you look at those details, you just can't help but smile.
Like you said, its cool:)
PS - does Tai bum**** you spastic?????
Yes 100% agree. The OZ spec civics are homo in STANDARD form. The JDM SIR'S do have nice touches like the rear seat setup, climate control etc
I dunno why people think they king dick for owning one though, they are nice in standard form, thats it, as soon as you start modifying a 1.3 Breeze or an EG6 there is only the vin plate separating them.
The Outright 2L and under lap record holding car in W.A is based on an EG Breeze.
Anyway back to the topic - EF9 VS EG6, get an EG6 lol
no, ef8.
find one with ALL the options.
climate control, abs, lsd, folding morrors, maplights.
yeah, if modding for race, then don't destroy one.
