HOnda eg6

[philipplim]

Hi sifus

iam a newbie to honda cars.
planning to change to a honda..but there are few things i need to ask u guys over here...so, first of all, thanks if u guys could post up some comments over here
my first question is wat is the diffrence between a eg3 and a eg6. iam planning to get a eg6 but some of my friends say that it is difficult for me to get a original one..so back to the option of getting an eg3 that is converted to eg6

Is the chasis, suspensions, bodykits of an original eg6 different from a eg3? ( besides that, wat else is different besides the engine)
the engine code for this is b16 (a1) or (a2).

Planning to visit one of the dealers soon to check out a black eg3 converted to eg6 spec...( nick selling the car is nizer). U guys think its a value buy for a converted ones..

Thanks for u comments
open for every critics and stuff

cheers
phil

Ok, i know nothing about EG's but there is something I can say about buy converted cars:

When you buy an already converted car, you will not have to go through all the trouble of doing the conversion yourself. Converting engine, bodykit and finding parts can be very, very time consuming and not to mention, costs money. Getting a half or fully converted car saves you this trouble and its value for money. For what you pay, you get almost everything you need. Maybe just touch up or add stuff here and there.

On the other hand, buying a converted car means you don't really know for sure what is put in there. If the initial convert has problems, most likely the car engine will be problematic all the way. Plus, converting a car on your own will gain you a lot of knowledge about your car. You will learn what sort of things you need, how much it costs and what it does. To some, converting the car is the fun part. Building something to your specifications and see the end result, can be satisfying.

Anyways, good luck to you. Happy hunting! :lol:

:ph34r: interesting! well ur problemo bro is as the same as mine back 8 months ago...

im agree with those who replied to ya earlier..n as a converted eg owner i can share my xperiance to ya to bro.

1)the price...eg3 or eg for is much more cheaper than the original one..n it depends on the year of the car build to make higher loan...and remember..usually converted egs the price is almost as the same as the original one..let say around 40k..so if the loan for eg3/4 is only about 30k..so think how many cash u mush have to buy it?so..its better for you to wait for the original one or perhas buy the converted eg within 35-38k...dont need to harsh bro..its your future..

2)there are alot differances between eg3/4 n original lagendary eg06.
im very detail about it as im a JDM fan. from the body parts to the engine bro!
stickers n stuff...n eg06 original also got difference from the first model to the 96 model..interior n xterior..from the sport light, interior, door panel, dashboard n so

3)always remember not xcited once u overcome a cun car! remember..eg is a car for performance..so better watch out the body..check if there is any xcident/ major xcident k! cuse mine have an xcident alreaady..i not noticed it untill i went to welding shop!

4)glad to share the xperiance wih ya..hope it can help u on your destany..hehhe..may the force b with you bro.. :ph34r:

I had an EG3 (it's a 1.3 definitely).

The Jap. Civic called this model EG we called it EH/SR.
The Air-Conditioning System has a heater with it. Not so good compared to our EH/SR m'sia models.
The Original player can't receive our local radio frequency
Only 2 speakers at front
Grey interior
Manual Window ( No power window )
Nice Design that's for sure
Underpower that's for sure too so convert it at least to 1.6 litre.
The seats are different. It's like EG 8. ( I still like my current EG9 seats the best !!! =P )

that's all

if a converted eg, same feel as original eg6 ka ? or converted ones are a bit underpowered than the original eg6? i'm not quite sure about this point? care 2 explain anybody?

 

[soulfly]

we don't have b16a1 and b16a2 here, it's for US spec only.

our 1st gen and 2nd gen b16a has no a1 or a2 on the engine code. the way to differentiate those two is by looking at the physical of the engine.

I'm wondering if EG6/9 has strengthen body in some parts compare to EG3/4/8? Or it's exactly the same??

 

[achor]

signal got a good question there. i would like to know about the chasis too. i know that they all look the same. i mean u can convert the interior rite. but then again do eg6 n eg9 have any additional extras to their chasis?

i'm bored so i thought i reply to this..

most of you have very accurate points concerning the EG but it all depends on the year...
the EG6 has lots of versions depending on the options that the initial car owner Japan bought with (ie LSD gearbox, ABS, sunroof, fog lights and the colour of the fog lights, brown clear windows / chromax, etc..)
but the the most famous ones are the full spec SIR and SIR II.. what you really wanna convert into is the SIR II

As for the front end, the engine is basically the same, you can fully convert the front when you buy the halfcut.. what you do is just transplant everything into your chasis from the halfcut.. you can tell the diff of the SIR and the SIR II by the placement of the MAP sensor on the throttle body, the SIR II MAP sensor is place on the top of the throttle outlet...

All VTEC and non VTEC chasis has a difference, the ones with VTEC engines have double stitched chasis.. EG6's with sunroofs' chasis is also different as the sides of the car are reinforced to balance out the extra heavier roof (same like cabriolet cars in all makes)

Interior wise, the EG6 is very different from our SR3s, the USDM interior in our SR3 has smaller cushioned seats and a bigger boot space with a speaker board to cover the boot.... the EG6 back seats are relatively bigger and sits higher and shapes more like dog seats. It's more of a 2 seater than our USDM 3. The plastic covering of the EG6 is more elaborate hence giving it smaller boot space. Although both versions can convert the whole back into a flat surface when the back seats are folded down, the EG6 looks more stylish and more like the seats have been removed completely but it's actually hidden at the bottom. All front interiors of the EG6 are gray in colour and shaped like our SR3 except the SIR II where the interior is black and the front seats look like recaro fishnets (minus the nets of course) with black cushion with red square linings...

Optional interitor parts would be the double din console instead of a coin box and the drink holder underneath the ashtray below the single din player space.. another optional item is the 'Gathers' speakers mounted just behind the front seats and the arm rest at the sides have a drink holder.. there is also a very long armrest that stretches from the front to the back of the seats, this armrest was made to put a CD changer...

This is all I can remember for now.. dunno if I missed out anything... will post again if I think of anything... and if you're wondering, no, i'm not very JDM :p
