hey guys, im currently thinking of selling my EG5 with b18c , for a EG6..
What can i do to the Eg6 to make it match up with my Eg5 atm?
I was thinking about doing a engine conversion in the EG6, putting another b18c in it, can i just drop a b18 in it? or do i have to change alot of stuff?
and also wats so good about a eg6?
whats the point? you're going to lose money and end up with almost exactly what you have now... or is it the JDM factor that you're willing to spend thousands on

You want to sell it, then have to spend more money, buy an EG and put the same engine into it (at significant cost if you're not doing it yourself). You asked the obvious question "What's so good about an EG6?" and as Mark pointed out quite clearly, apart from the "Look at my JDM" the answer is obvious. If you must sell why not look at an EK9, Integra DC5R or an Accord Euro?
People obviously get bored with what they have and want to get something new and different. Fortunately, I've learned from my previous experiences that car ownership is a never ending cycle, and I've owned some ok cars in the past which is why I'm satisfied with just owning "an ordinary car" now
Here is a bit of life advice, save the hassle and wallet and keep wat u have, unless it's a significant jump then don't bother
It's a waste. Don't do it. I see no logic in doing it lol
I don't see why you're considering it when you say "whats so good about EG6"
Sounds like you're buying it to impress others.
why dont u just buy a eg6 and swap the engines around then youll have a eg5 with b16 to sell and having a eg6 with b18 like ur old car, just having a nicer interior and shit lol
is it a staight drop or, do i have to change looms and shit? thats wat i wanna know
most people who comment have never owned a eg6 so they shouldnt comment
you get the best model you can its not about the jdm factor
so you would settle for shit and not get anything better
yeah i get a breeze and put a b18c in it typical cheap ass jdm haters
all you need is the b18cr motor/ gearbox, engine loom and conversion harness
it is the most easiest conversion for a b series swap in any car
it has a better interior, alot more features, and its the best eg you can get
if you have the cash do it your money so do what ever you want with it
you wont be disappointed
let the haters drive around with a lower spec eg and fake parts on their car
Just for the record, I HAVE owned an EG6, and yes, it was a JDM import.
Peter
did you do a engine conversion too post some pics to back up your claim
i think the whole fake parts mentality isnt warranted. in the classic car scene, unless one is going "concours" then most parts will have to be reproduction or "fake". it doesnt make them any less deserving.
same with modifying hondas, unless an owner is trying to achieve a specific theme, then using "fake" or replica parts is fine imo. a mugen front lip or a copy to me is neither here nor there.
as far as the eg6 being far and away better than an eg5, well if ur upgrading to recaros, doing some stereo changes, then there isnt really much more that the eg6 has over the eg5 that makes it a deal breaker
