Why satria body better ah?

1) It's a proton! Local cars are better than imports :P
2) It's cheaper to mod.. h/cut for a lancer GSR turbo isn't that expensive.
3) It's lighter.. (I think... not sure)
4) easier to ketok, because the panels are thinner.. :P
5) makes sense to change to plastic windows since you're probably not going to use the p/windows anyway :P

And I've got a satria for sale... (just kidding!)

around 5K for EG halfcut.. conversion cost varies depending on how many things you want to change and how much the workmanship fees.

note that you'd probably need about 1-2K for 'in case' parts such as gaskets, rubber seals, etc.

apart from that.. you'd probably want to invest in some exhaust and intake systems, and a aftermarket regulator.

Bro, I was making the same decision between the two cars 2 months ago. And my decision was EG!!!!! And NO REGRETS!

Actually the conversion cost of both cars are similar, should be around 10k for everything (assuming Mivec 1.6 for Satria, B16A for EG).

Car Year: 1997(Satria) 1992(EG)

Car Price: 13k(Satria) 18k(EG)

As you can see, the main difference is the price of the car and age of the car. Satria is way cheaper and newer but I will still go for Honda (but find a well maintained one la!)

1 more problem you might need to consider is the loan amount on both cars, you will need to put up more downpayment for EG since it's older! As for satria, I think you can get full loan, and get cash back somemore depends on the seller.

Well, good luck! Go for EG if possible! EG is evergreen! If do conversion properly it can be a better car than the NEW CIVIC! Faster!! HAHAHA!

Why don't you drive both of the car first.. many things to consider other than performance and ability - like driving positions, ergonomics, maintanance, etc.. Small2 things like seat height and boot size also can sometimes affect your decisions. Don't regret later.

I've driven both and my personal preference is the EG. But if your budget's not permissible, get a Satria... then slap on the Honda, Civic and VTEC emblems/stickers and you're almost there... :_:

EG is really an everlasting design. Satria? I guess only the Mirage or GTI's worth a 2nd look. Just my 2 sen...

i've got a 1.6m satria and an EG4...even before i converted my EG4 i still prefer the eg to the satria.no doubt the satria is a new car compare to my EG but to me proton is still a proton.i just had too much problem with the car.but in terms of comfort is would say the satria is better as it has much more cabin and boot room...but in terms of looks the eg wins hands down.i mean you can see on the road some satria even put on the EG bumpers together with thier mivec bonnet to somehow resemble to an EG.anyway since you're a NA kaki then you should really go for the EG as the VTEC is KILLER!!!

Uh huh, I've seen some Satrias with Mirage bonnets and EG6 bumpers. At first glance, they look like EG6, only somewhat difference. Look slightly longer and you then realise the lights and bonnet are different. Look even longer and you find even more differences. But the funniest thing is some of 'em even put in the Honda red emblem. That takes longer to tell the difference- a red herring :_:
