EG Vs EK

[bennjamin]

EGs are cheaper , and older (prone to obvious wear in engine and suspension compnements) and EK's are newer and generally better equipped.

IMO if you want a fast car get a EG and do a conversion or turbo etc.
If you want a firm stocky ride and clean interior get a EK4 or EM1.

JDM eg SIR is in another league

If we are talking about the elite from each kind you should be comparing the EK9 to the EG6. I believe the EK9 would be on top in all area's.

Sorry guys for not making it more clear,
but I am not looking at buying either one, I am just curious to which car was better from the factory when Honda produced it, not taking into account creature comforts or anything, purely performance and handling.

So, a brand new EG hatch with a B16A, I am guessing a SiR? In comparison to a EK VTi-R? Which is the newer model to it?

Or, lets just say a EG hatch with a B16A conversion, with a whiteline handling pack Vs a EK hatch with the same engine and same whiteline handling pack?

Which would win on a race course?
EG obviously will be quicker, but which will handle better?


What I am trying to establish is, Honda made a new car, but which one is really better from only a performance point of view? And that's why I don't want age to be a part of the comparison as it automatically puts down the older car

Like everyone else has said... there's so many factors wen comparing two different chasis with moderately similar mods.

The things you are asking are really just impossible to determine. Assumptions will lead to nowhere and an open debate which will have no answer... Basically wot i'm saying is probably know one can answer your query... especially if you compare a brand new modified eg with a brand new modified ek...

But wot i reckon is that the EK being a newer generation of the Civic would most likely have a stronger stiffer chasis just because it is newer and Honda obviously have to try to improve on the previous model. Remember, these cars aren't purely performance orientated, they're daily drivers.

So how about comparing an EG SiR vs EK VTiR? or EG SiR Vs EK CTR? Anything else i reckon can only be compared on the track... this is all talk in the end
