i have a sedan, even though on shitty tires it can still corner pretty well doing 80 with only pedders springs (in factory areas located in mitcham) I looked up on the red book, and it said that the weight of the EK sedan and the hatch back was the same and im a bit sus about that, does anyone know the true figures of weight and weight distribution on the EK sedan and hatch?
Go the sedan!
Wow,I always thought of my EK sedan as being quite a bit bigger and heavier than the hatch and not the choice for the track but from this thread it seams very little seperates them,AWESOME! Great read!
yeh the difference is basically about 2 bags of rice lol.
go the sedans! got a stock EK1 and it can corner at prety scary speeds. also having a boot = win lol. D16EK1 are these factory areas u visit on mitcham rd or are you talking about where like Champion books are?
go the sedans....
i own a eg sedan and its awsome..

as for hatches, EF FTW. so old school and small and awesome.
i did some research on the weight differences for the sedan and hatch EK, turns out that the hatch weighs 1009kg and the sedan weighs 1037kg, this makes a difference of 28kg, so that is like having a bag of rice in the boot along with 2 1.5lts of coke. for the EG, the hatch weighs 1013kg and the sedan weighs 1046kg. so from the data sourced from Redbook.com.au, it seems that both EG hatch and sedans weigh more than the EK hatch and sedan, thus if you are getting a Gli, the eg is running a D15 and the Ek has a D16, from 100cc, the EK has alot more go in it in comparison. The power difference between the EG gli and EK gli is a difference in about 20hp and 11nm of torque.
I walked this EG VTI like 4 times, in my N14 pulsar (1.6), like a month off my P's. and it wasnt like oh maybe he didnt know, it was a guy i saw around my work that i knew from highschool, we went down to the local industrial park, you know, empty (after hours) with long straight roads as wide as a 3-lane highway.
Coupe ej8 or EM1 would blow em both away!!!
its funny how now, especially in america the sedan is the more popular choice. Looks far more JDM too.
Sedan has more factory options also. AWD, different spoiler options (Ferio/RTSi ducktail, JDM vti), more mudflap varieties. 5 different interiors including the highly sought after front and rear SiR bucket seats.
more aftermarket parts now too! rear roof visors, rear lips, sedan>hatch front conversion gaurds.
Ferio SiR > EG6 SiR
