Improved Production 3J with 2000cc Motor has a Race weight requirement of 1045kg Minimum :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn:
Cant seem to find a Series that can run this sort of car.
Car looks like its going to be for club event.

My brother is currently building an EG track car, but with a b16 though, to be able to compete.
The reason for choosing it is that the cage should eliminate most of the weaknesses of the chassis' rigidity and second is its lightness. Also I believe a lot of the parts suited for DC2 can be used for EG like typer quick rack. However parts in general wont be a problem for ek/eg.
Have you chosen which path you're taking?
Good luck and have fun scraping the tar off the lucky civic shell =D
Im currently going to budget on another ek just for track purposes, let me know how you guys go with the build like prices and stuff
EK would be better. EG chassis already abit old, rust and too much strain on the body, make it even weaker.
TO Refresh the car will cost more than an EK which have a younger age.
Im leaning towars EK but I had a EJ Coupe before and had trouble with legs hitting sterring wheel. Im 6 foot and seating position is better in a Eg but if i can over come the issue with the EK then its a most like.
Group 3J in Production car cup K20 can run miminum weight of 1025kg. DC2 would be better option for that series.
Between EG-EK ill be deciding in the factors if wheelbase, total track, minimum weight, Weight distribution, etc. I know EG with k20 is animal of a mix for drag times cos of weight, but ive seen alot of EK9s doing very well on tracks then EG civics.
Haha thats a funny statement.. if u are gonig to build a track car u are going to reinforce the chasis anywayz... all bushing would be change to siffen it up..im pretty sure you wouldnt leave it as it and track it... if so of course an EK would be better... but we are talking abt a specific race car.Quote:

deffinatly go the EG!!!!
watch videos and EG'S OWN!!!!!
not many ek's used for full on racing. personally i would choose the eg for various reasons.
Not really the EK sedan models can be had 1020kg stock
Which is pretty light, especially by the time you rip out all the interior and stuff, and the chassis strength isn't really going to be an issue once the roll cage is in
ek hatch, look at the spoon civic, ek9 that revs till 10krpm
They wouldn't build a race car like that without reason.
Watched a best motoring vid with a b20 ek9 engine, it was as fast as a s2000 round the track, something to think about.
i love EG's. But EK's are meant to have a better suspension setup. A roll cage in an EG wont address this issue.
EK's look better than EG's
Is that not reason enough?
