Buying EG6

[[[d a n n y]]]

LOL funny thread !! I've got an EG5 that i've been trying to convert to EG6 spec over the past 9 years..

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

sometimes the hunt for parts is more exciting than just getting everything in one package.
those who never hunt for parts will never know the feeling.

i believe danny knows this.

love eg6 rear seats, best Honda design I can think of, wish one new car had seats like it, such a classic look

the years where gathers made sound systems as well

folding mirrors for sunnybank visits

be nice to see a clean eg6 in oem form, be the only sports compact I'd import besides a LHD ek from the states

yeah for me the thrill is in the chase finding those parts, getting em for a decent price, then having them arrive in the post. .then fitting them..

but man u have the bronze glass ?? DROOOOOOOOL !! i dont even know where to start to get the glass that's another thing to add to my wish-list :P

...and whoever was asking about an EG6 being like an EK9 v. EK4 with extra seam and spot welds, extra bracing, lighter weight etc.. it doesnt apply to the EG..

the EK equivalent of the EG6 is the EK4 (VTiR in AUS, SiR in ASIA/Japan, VTi in Europe).. the 94-95 EG6 SiR-S was the pinacle of Japanese EG civics.

HAHA nah Lan as you'd know there are lots of small differences especially in the interior / trims.. is not that hard to FIND these EG6 bits, but to get em at a reasonable price plus shipping to AUS os the tricky bit. I've thought of going the EG6 full interior with Gathers an storage bins etc but it contradicts my track aspirations LOL..

[90LAN]

so it is hard to get then
if you cant get it into the country then that means its hard to get even if it means its costly

i would stick with the eg5 interior anyway members on here say there is no difference anyway between the two

the 94-95 EG6 SiR-S was the pinacle of Japanese EG civics. i rephase for you it is the pinacle of all eg's ever made
