Civic Track Car Options [EG vs EK]

[fatboyz39]

EK>EG for track.

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.

We all know when it comes to body rigidity that after stripping the car then welding in a cage and polyurethane filling flex isnt going to be an issue.

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.

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??

A little advice if I may.... look into what race series you are wanting to race in before deciding on a car and engine combination. Until you figure this out, your just wasting time by speculating on how you want to prep a car.

Thats pretty good advise.

Have you participated in any such competitive speed events before? Maybe you should just take your current car as is and participate in events such as Hill climbs and supersprints first...otherwise, there's always IPRA...

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.

..and where have you been?

[SPEEDCORE]

(1) Combined touring, or
(2) Improve production

Yup... good old 3J

If we take IPR even at state level.... with a K inside, the dreaded LM weight penalties are a reality. And with a K24.... going up against 13Bs with close to what? 300 at the wheels..... would be interesting to say the least.
