only way to import one would be as a personal import as impossible to get through SEV's

I see.
Stupid rules

So is this current rule making it impossible to bring EG6's in, even in a few years time?

afraid so, i was bugging an importer a few months back about trying to get 88-91 civic with B16a but to no avail, closest thing i could import would've been 88 civic with a D16

What makes a eg6 so special? That you can't mod a aus spec eg to be same if not better? Only thing it has is its rare cause of seats, and gathers gear. Not worth getting genuine eg6 unless its cheap.

Get a eg hatch and put a b18cr in it.
If i had to choose between eg6 and ef9 i'd go ef9 cause its harder to source parts to make a replica ef9 then to make a replica eg6.

Good luck finding a good condition ef9.

as far as i know the aus spec EG's have a D16 in the Si model which is DOHC but the vtec motor in the Vtir's is actually a SOHC Vtec where as the JDM spec has a DOHC Vtec B16.

EF civic with the 1st gen B16 were never sold locally, only thing available in that chassis was 1.5l twin carb
