Hello all

My name is Alex and i drive a civic, but ive always had an itch for vws since one of my mates got a mk3 vr6 back in 06. Driven a couple of Vr6s a few times now and yea im a fan :biggrin:. Been lurking this forum on and off since i was referred to it by Joe88 early this year.

Anyway, wouldn't mind an mk1 or mk2 gti as a daily, as the civic may be turned into a track car, so im just being patient and keeping one eye open. But anything can happen right? So yea pretty much just joined up to learn more about VWs.

Anyway this is the whip

Cheers guys for the welcome :bowdown:.

I hate the whole song and dance about vtec, too many people take it too seriously haha. Its just an engine lol. But it is fun....

Yea EGs are overpriced really when you compare em stock for stock with vr6s, but meh this is my second eg in a row, i love em. I just love the potential of them. Ill always be a honda man first.

Dont get an EG as a daily, too dangerous. Way too many parts available for them haha, you will end up spending a ****load on it :frown: But yea have fun out at WAS

Um im in brisbane, and as far as the basic mod list goes, it has a JDM eg6 engine and lsd gearbox conversion, seats, coilovers and some other footwork, dc2 integra brakes, silver respray, and a couple of sets of wheels. Its fun for now.

I have a few other pics floating around.

That's a sleek looking civic mate, love those wheels. I was looking at civics when I was buying a first car; unfortunately I found power in a VR and I couldn't look back haha. When done right, these look good.

Welcome aboard the forums :) Hope you find a nice dub soon.

Sick whip! Very nicely modified mate. The rims are awesome. It's a good change from all the poorly modified ones you see around.

My friend had an EG but the thing was a slug and the interior was falling apart - worse than two older Falcons I used to own, so I was put off them.

What sort of potential do these Civics have? I've always wondered why people modified them so there must be a good reason! I must admit thought that some of the racier engines I've heard have been Hondas. I've heard an S2000 that sounded like an F1 car, and a nicely modified Integra that was screaming its tits off.

Nice ride mate, just bought a mk 5 GTI,after owning a JDM CRX. Although the Golf is way more refined than EF's and EG's etc. It will never be as entertaining to drive as my old EF8, wish I hadn't sold it:duh: Anyway the Mrs seems to prefer the Golf...

Interior of mine is fine, i suppose its how its treated as to what condition it is in.

Potential wise, there are a heap of honda engines that fit b16, b18, f20, h22, k20, k24 etc and hybrids of all of them. And the eg chassis for all intents and purposes is the same as the dc2 integra type r chassis so parts are inter-changable. So suspension/brakes/seats bla bla. Makes it a sensible choice to modify.
