EF9 vs EG6 what would you buy?

[pat88c]

I'd go for an EF8 with a B18C7, that would scream

easly win ef9
nicer looking car, just as rarer and fun end the day


that my choice as i own a ed9 adm crx and one day i hope to buy a ef8/9 crx to replace my ed9 crx

but the key to find a mint ef8/9 is wait with the money ready to buy that ef8/9 when it turn up for sale

and as dems said

to many EG fanboys on ozhonda these days, poor old EF9 doesn't have enough "jdm" factor anymore lol.

so basically if you're smart enough there really is just as much aftermarket support for EF9, but the EG6 will be easier.
but if everything was easy in life it wouldn't be any fun

that last line is sums up owning a rare ef8/9 civic or crx

[Bludger]

if u can get both the ef9 and eg6 ur a god!

i rekon if u get either u would love any of them!

I'm 1 step ahead.

ef8 + dc2r

[Bludger]

doesnt matter if you get either
as long as its a jdm version

and not a wannabe version

both cars are as good as each other

Words of wisdom.

EG6 just for the gathers radio and speakers

and those awesome tweed seats, cant be beat

I got myself ef premium sound system.

you got no idea.

IMHO eg6 but both of those cars will be really hard to find at a good price.

EG6 is ftw.

-price they will be both fairly expensive for there ages. But EG will be a little more
-Reliability EG6 as it will be newer but both rare cars soo it will be hard to find one with high k's
-character both have equal amounts ooozing out of them.
-handling EG wins over EF forsure both have very similar suspension designs, only ef's are a little less stiff. but if they will be modified, then this doesn't matter
-power EG wins over EF again again, with mods, this is no concern. ef is lighter for track. CRX with glass roof is plus 20kg. CRX with sunroof is plus 20kg. glass roof is lighter.
-Parts Eg will be easier imo, not really
-insurance will be around the same for both
-mods EG will be easier as parts will be easier to source again, i disagree but both cars can be modified at anyway needed really. Can put pretty much any honda motor in any honda these days with conversion kits.

I'd go for an EF8 with a B18C7, that would scream

soon mate

The EF had a kickass Gathers and Pioneer sound system as an option too, the CRX also had bass tubes as part of the premium sound package.

EF>EG

[Bludger]

its funny how over the last few years, everyone is into the EG, EK Civics............

Only now, recently because every man and his dog has an EG/EK there is growing interest for the EF/ED......... because its now the cool thing, its more uncommon and everyone wants to be different.

EG6 for sure. EF9 is getting on in years and are a bitch to work on in comparison to eg6.
If you want the best car then EG6, if you want the rarest then ef9.
EG6 is newer, better aerodynamics and better handling which of course is obvious as it replaces the EF9. Honda wouldn't of gone backwards with a new model would they?
Newer is nearly always better.
Your pretty much asking should you get a DC2R or a DA GS-R, one is rarer then the other but older, and the other is HEAPS better, newer, better aero, better engine etc etc.
Car manufacturers generally make advancements in there replacement models thanks to something called technology.
So to answer your question you have to ask yourself whether you want old-school and rarity or a newer better overall car.

I love watching Old School vs New School debates

[~Sp33~]

I saw a white 3rd gen today, looked identical to yours bro. I think they might have been from ozhonda too.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

I did after all get a haircut and threaten to come to the meet....
