Civic EG vs Satria Gti

[WRM]

Greetings all sifus n experts in motoring.
I am a student n looking for a 2 door/small car to commute with daddy budget of 25K-30K.
After looking in market i locked down into this 2.

EG vs SGTi.(recommend if thers other!)

Plz ADVISE reg which is better in terms of FC, TopSpeed, and daily driveable(soft clutch etc)

I understand tht eg is very older thn sgti (>17yrs) however,its also a HONDA..
(Ps:i saw this yellow eg on net n heart is touched)

Appreciate your views :)

you can consider EK, it is not as old as EG...
I would prefer Honda than SGTi as it has a B16A Vtec engine inside..

or you can take the Sedan type of EG / EK, it is at late 90's..I saw before in Motor Trader it has B20A engine inside

i highly doubt u can get an EG for that price, whatmore an EK.

as surveyed, the price for a EG is very close to 40k. Be it transplanted/converted or original.

yeehau86: there's no such things as B20A! B20B got la, and with that i highly doubt it will sell for <30k. those are torque monsters!

This is honda forum....for sure everybody say go for EG...

On another note, just take account the pros and cons :

Honda EG :
Pros :
1. Damn sexy
2. B16a....damn syiok engine + infinite mod options
3. Double wishbone suspension front & rear
4. Better build quality
5. Its a honda maa

Cons :
1. Hard to find stock & in good condition
2. Parts more expensive
3. Old chassis / engine (wear & tear) = higher maintenance cost


Satria GTI
Pros :
1. Newer chassis / engine
2. Cheaper parts
3. Quite good handling
4. Easily can convert to turbo/mitsu engine
3. Can join a satria GTI club....

Cons :
1. Need to spend money abit to catch up to B16a EG (even in stock form)
2. Higher risk of theft/ break in
3. Build quality (especially interior)

For FC
- in stock condition both are almost the same, expect around RM15 = 110km

For topspeed
- In stock condition, EG B16A has speed cut at 180kmh, if removed you could get around 230 kmh. As for GTI, you could get around 220km/h

As for clutch
- In stock form, both are quite light and easily driven, IMO GTI is just a little bit harder.

Just go with your gut feelings......use the force

Hope this helps.

sgti certainly can be loaned higher than eg..if u choose sgti then go 4 turbo, otherwise just get a honda if u wish to play NA..

 

[AD_EG]

EG !!!! 100% in performance and also looks and handling !!

OVERALL !!!!



about parts its not that hard to get bro....still can source parts easily

opps, maybe I remember it wrongly..B20B is considered big Vtec, right? that's why it has high torque

 

[arrowhead]

B20 is a hybrid engine. its a combination of either a B16A/16B/18C/18CR head + B20 block from the Honda CRV.

why high torque? cuz its a 2.0!

btw, dont listen to AD_EG.... EK ALL THE WAAYYYYY!!!

 

[LittleWhiteWagon]

No dont listen to either of them, EG FTW Hahaha

Would I ? :flute:

 

[WRM]

Thanx bros!aalto ad_eg,yeehau86, and arrow head n others! reali nid it.Hav a lot to learn from u guys..if yall willing to teach.hehe.


ek is reali far from budget la frenz.Unless im paying for the car.Hw much can loan go anywy.

I test drive EG today.Heart raced liao!pickup was crazy???(dunno if i cud handle it)
he put B20b block onto a b16.u can feel the torque from low rpm edi..What more wen reach the vtec.

He got new adjustable,plus new clutch(ogura?),new lsd gearbox n kinda new beautiful rims+tyres.screen+pioneer audio sys.seat not so gud though.He givin the old gearbox+b16 block.

Selling for 35K.Dun wan reduce a lil bit oso.What u guys think?
Wuld it depreciate much after 5 yrs?

PS:oso saw a satria gti today,however didnt attract heart like eg does.its juz a beauty.Does the satria GTi pick up like tht?

 

[freeman1314]

old gearbox is 16a non lsd or with lsd?
What adjustable? What tyre? How is the car chasis condition?
After convert to hybrid b20 , now he change back 16a block for u ?

EG is a nice car, and b-series engine have great potential, u won't regret but have to prepare some cash. Parts for satria is cheaper than parts for EG. So sometimes when u wanna find parts u would probably be cursing after comparing the price with satria. But the gud part is u get a front rear double wish bone suspension system.

u get used to it bro..trust me....when the time comes...sometimes 2 liter still not enough...hahaha...

PS:oso saw a satria gti today,however didnt attract heart like eg does.its juz a beauty.Does the satria GTi pick up like tht?

very rare to see n/a gti can catch up with 2 liter EG....it happen before but mostly 2 liter vtec is faster...

my advice bro...go for honda...after all...u can get a gti...and mybe u can mod it..put in turbo...swap evo engine...and be faster than k20 vtec...but the end of the day..it's still a proton...resale value sure drop kaw2...hahaha

Freeman,do u mean tht b16a better thn b20?may i ask in wut aspect..

Anywy,can i get EK for 35k?

Anywy,can i get EK for 35k?

I don't think so as the market price for EK 2 doors is far away from your budget. Even for EK 4 doors is about RM 4x,xxx

check out this price for EK 2 Doors
B18C (RM 60,000)
