My opinion may differ from others but I'll lend it to you anyway.


If you've simply fallen in love with the EG shape and can't see yourself in another car, start saving your dollars. Honda's can be some of the most expensive cars to modify in Australia simply due to the low supply of quality parts.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head there. I've absolutely in la la la love with the EG shape, the way it rides, way it feels and the way it looks. Can't comment much about the power thus yet, as being a 1.3 litre, I think I can accelerate quicker on a road bike (as in push bike hahahha ).

3. The Breeze is great for sleeper status. Leave the stickers on, a stock looking exhaust, keep it quiet and chuck in a B18C or B16A engine(along with the needed brake/suspension upgrades) and watch other drivers jaw drop as they just got beaten by something resembling their hairdressers car or grandma's shopping trolley.

That's not a bad idea at all hahahaha. I saw this street drag go down between a SV6 Holden and an EG civic one day, and I tell's ya, the civic absolutely smashed the balls off the SV6. Funny thing is, the SV6 had the alloy wheels, was dumped and was visually tricked in every way possible, and the civic which pwnd it had stocko hub cap wheels hahaha. Made me LOL hard.

4. Being on your green P plates in Victoria knocks the idea of an engine transplant straight out of the picture, unless you enjoy running the risk of being caught. Other people have done it, I personally wouldn't. It really depends how lucky you feel and how well you think your local cops will know a Honda engine bay.

So I can't put a b16 in legally? How about a D series engine? Is that still illegal?

6. With the added power of a new engine you definitely need to at least swap out those rear drum brakes for some in the disc variety.

Yeah once I have enough information to make an informed decision on whether or not an engine swap is legal and worth it I will definitely be upgrading the rear drum brakes.
