As far as the bare chassis goes, as far as I can tell the only physical difference is that the EG6 has a T-Bracket in the hatch section to mount the JDM rear seats and cargo-bin to.. and the mounting points for the speakers are slightly different to take the optional Gathers components.

yes the EG6 has much better interior trim options than anything we saw in Australia, Different seats, the previously mentioned optional Gathers Audio system (but who wants 15 year old speakers ??), optional TCS (on ABS equipped models), 262mm front brakes, power folding side mirrors, longer rear wing with LED, storage-bin in hatch area, space-saver spare wheel and also the OEM 5-spoke 15" alloys - which i THINK were actually and option as there's not a lot of EG6 on these rims.. 180km/hr White-faced Guage Cluster, Climate controll a/c, Plastic lens headlights with different type Bulbs, Bronze tinted Glass (droool) on JDM EG6's, ohh and the EG6 was available in a few colours we didnt get in AUS.. plus the Japanese models had a LOT more factory optional accessories but we're talking about the car itself..

my original plan was to convert to full JDM EG6 spec including (optional Black) dashboards and all.. but then I got distracted and started doing my SPOON conversion LOL.. my conversion is only in terms of motor, transmission, suspension, brakes - and then external features such as decals, rear LED wing, Front Lip (is EG5 option anyway), and dont forget the Parking Pole HAHAHA and i've got a climate control fascia somewhere too but I cant get my CD player out

apart from that there's not a whole lot of difference.. if you're swapping motors anyway..

I agree with whoever said to buy the EG6, swap the B16 into your EG5, sell the EG5 and put the B18CR into your EG6.. but then it's not a true "EG6" LOL... depends if you're buying an EG6 to be a purist or just so u can say u have an "EG6"..

or a better idea, sell the EG6 to ME if it's road rego'd
exactly what i am doing
i pretty much have a EG6 atm
in a AUDM EG5 Shell
inc all the rear stuff
got all the bronze windows too
if i cant get 1
