EF9 vs EG6 what would you buy?

**djaddam** · 05-09-2009 02:44 PM

In all seriousness though.

A EF9 vs a EG6 on paper wouldn't be all that different (or atleast to what I know)

They would both have a B16 which give or take will be pretty close (depending on condition and modifications if applicable)

The EF9 and EG6 have a similar weight (not too sure on how its carried) I think its 100kilo's at most difference.

Suspension is virtually the same and is interchangable.

EG6's aren't as 'rare' in the component department though EF9's have more goodiness they are growing in age and are getting hard to buy body parts for (not forgetting rust)

Its really OP's choice whichever shape he likes the most.

rear suspension is almost identical.

front isn't.

ef9 has front crossmember, single arm front LCA + Radius (castor) rod.

eg6 has no front crossmember, A arm style front LCA, no radius rod.

Although both are still double wishbone front suspension setups

Just they control the forward/rearward movement of the wheels in a totally different way.

refer to this thread.

But its interchangeable, isn't it?

**Bludger** · 05-09-2009 03:04 PM

yes it is, you will need very good welding & engineering skillz

**SHOGUNOVDDRK** · 05-09-2009 03:08 PM

haahahahaha.

May aswell convert Torsion bars to DC5 Macpherson struts then, lol

you could build it to what ever specs you wanted it to
but end of the day its not the real deal
simple as that
but some people just dont get it
simple as that too

Eat. Sleep. JDM.

JDM is genuinely cool man. I'd rather buy a JDM car with a nice JapSpec engine than an AUD one which has been mod'd and messed with loads.

why cant you import an ef9? i read before because of import laws but what is it specificaly that stops it? is there anyway around this?

**dougie_504** · 07-09-2009 08:47 PM

Australian regulations say that you can't import a vehicle more than 15 years old. That's pretty much it I think

its not 15 years. they call it 15 year rule but not really.

its 2009 now - 15 = 1994

that means i can import eg6 manufactured in 1994? dont think so.

but i can import cars manufactured before 1988. figure that out.

I just thought of a weakness for the EF9.

The gearbox.

Not much of a 'weakness'

Just means if it shits bricks you have to rebuild it or get a Hydro one.
