[Bludger]

climate control, abs, lsd, folding morrors, maplights.

yeah, if modding for race, then don't destroy one.

All an EG6 is, is just an EG with bolt ons, who gives a damn about the vin plate saying EG6.
You can make any EG into an EG6 with boltons.
But as was said previously, why bother making it to EG6 specs, if you gona do up an EG you would make it better then EG6 specs anyway. All an EG6 is, is a very lightly modified civic done by Honda, wow.
EK9, DC2R, FD2R etc these are true wank factor cars as you can't replicate these cars with bolt ons as they all have chassis specific mods aka DC2R has thicker wheel arches etc etc

So by saying that other EG's with B16a's in them and mods that meet or exceed EG6 spec are not the real deal your saying it wasn't assembled by Honda, true but who cares, wow, how crap they all must be as they wern't assembled in Japan.
I better never rebuild my engine then cos it was done for JDM by Honda and if I rebuild it it won't be the real JDM deal. lol People get to hung up on JDM way to much, its hilarious how much $$ and pain people will go to just cos its JDM.

If everytime you open your bonnet and you go weak at the knees when you glance at the plate that says EG6 then just buy one, otherwise build one or buy one that that is better specked.
All the fastest track civics in Oz are neither EF9's or EG6's but just normal EG's and EF's that have been modified.
EK9 and up are where Honda started paying attention to chassis mods that go beyond what the eye can see.
Cars generally get better the newer they are thanks to technology and no the FN2 is not better then an EP3 but the FN2 isn't even a Type R is it, its just a badge. The JDM civic Type R is the FD2R and yes that is better then EP3.

So if you must get a JDM civic, EF9 or EG6 go the EG6, it is a better car and you don't need a silly OZHONDA pole to tell you that, honda do not make newer cars worse then previous models and the EF9 was not some civic nirvana.

enjoy your aussie spec eg then mate
coming from a person who doesnt have a eg6 again

[90LAN]

the eg6 fanboy inside him is coming out as soon as people start saying ef9s are better.

all talk so far
to pics are up
so in still waiting .....

[~Sp33~]

No I don't get it. Why don't you come out to the track and show me what all this JDM SIR stuff is all about.

To me it's not just about what it can do, it's the history of the car, the technological advancements that Honda had made at that time in the automotive industry etc, you just can't fake the feeling.

It'd be like an MR2 with a ferrari bodykit. Even if the MR2 is faster, everyone will still want the prancing horse. It just means more.

[ToFuBoi]

eg6 no doubt man.. just cos its newer

enjoy your aussie spec eg then mate
coming from a person who doesnt have a eg6 again

I will enjoy driving my all go no show aussie civic thankyou.
Why would I drive a lesser spec car then mine aka EG6 and go "Oh my goodness, this is AWESOME" when mine is heaps better specked.
I care about the overall track package of a car, not some stupid Vin plate. I'll put an EG6 vin plate on my car and apart from no EG6 rear wing and bronze rear glass you won't be able to tell the differance, but who cares anyway.
But you got EG6 on your VIN, congrats.

This thread is about standard civics and as a standard street car EG6 is the ultimate EG civic but as soon as modified comes into it its only a VIN plate mate.
When you set the lap record in your fully sik JDM EG6 I'll listen to you about car performance.

This is EG6 VS EF9, not some dude with a chrome gearbox (pfff) telling everyone else that unless you have an EG6 your not King Dick.
Do you see the lap record holders (I won't mention companys/people but most people know who they are) around Australia whether it be in drag racing or circuit racing stressing that their EG's arn't EG6's?????? Honestly dude, you own an EG with bolt ons done by Honda, get over it.
Don't get me wrong, I would love an EG6/EF9 as a work bunky/weekend hacker car so I wouldn't have to drive my gutted track civic to work and everywhere with ear plugs and get police attention etc etc but rest assured when I do get one I won't be like "Oh my god, I own a JDM civic yo, I'm king dick" cos for pure performance/driving pleasure my AUSSIE EG5 will shame it, but for taking the missus out to the movies or dinner etc (Its embarrassing taking a chick out in a 90's civic even if it is an EG6) I'm sure she will apreciate the EG6 over the EG5 track whore as she won't have to yell on the freeway to overcome the noise, and won't have to bring 3 pillows to soften the blows of the suspension lol

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL hey lan im a racerboy too you offend me.

[Cooker]

Whatever forum warrior, if I can't see out my visor how did I set the lap record.
Don't reply with some lame comeback, I'm sure the guy that started this thread knows by now what people think about EG6 and EF9.

[Setanta]

no, ef8.

find one with ALL the options.

climate control, abs, lsd, folding morrors, maplights.

yeah, if modding for race, then don't destroy one.

the optional ABS on the EF9 SiR II was an absolute joke. Bulky and adding weight to the car - and it was hit and miss. A mate who had it in his removed it and replaced it with the standard SiR brakes. All SiRs had folding mirrors - the automatic folding ones I've seen once and that was at a wrecking yard and only the controller for it. The optional climate control was ok - I ran a relay to mine to bypass it though. Maplights - I can't find them in any of the Japanese brochures I have on the EF9 (Primo dealership).

Dammit - you made me go through all my EF9 catalogues including my Mugen EF9 one... time to start saving for a new EF

To the guy claiming Au spec cars over JDM ones... ignorance is a blissful state isn't it?

You referring to me? Are everyones eyes painted on? I said, once MODIFIED it doesn't matter if its JDM, AUDM, USDM etc etc
As I have stated, in standard form EG6 rules.
