whats best for a track weekend car civic eg or ek?

either one will get coilovers seats steering wheel good alloy and tyre combo and strut braces arbs etc.

would like peoples opinions thanks:)
 
Mike has a point !!!!!!!!!!!!!! EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF EF definately an EF !!!!

oh did i mention EF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'd say:
1. EK9 chassis cause its the stiffest
2. EG chassis cause it's lighter than 6th gen chassis
3. Other 6th gen chassis, not stiffer than EG afaik but heavier

Maybe consider a DC2? Comparable to the EK9 in terms of grip/handling/chassis stifness but with B18c and can be had for (relatively) little money, much cheaper than a 9. Which means you have more money for mods and an engine with more power.
 
I'd always go with the newer chassis personally. You can lose weight, but you can't always make all the little improvements Honda did between models. Plus, the EG interior is minging... :D
 
If you can afford it - ek9 or dc2.
If you can't - ek4, eg6, ef, or engine swap a 1.4 model.

depends on if you want a project, or if yo are looking for more of a pre preapred motor to have fun with.

in other words, only you know the answer to what you want lol.
 
Dc2 even though it is not one of your choices because of the B18 and a LSD as standard, plus they can be picked up for peanuts at the moment.

Hehe ahhh you can't say that! I love it! :D

As above though, it depends what you're looking to spend. If you're thinking of going B18C/K20 conversion, then I'd go for EG. EG's will take more £'s to get up to par/better. EK9/DC2 are 'more out the box' type car's, most goodies/power is there from stock.

If I knew back then what I knew now, back when I was looking for one, I'd probably would of gone, EK9/DC2 ... probably ... However, I do not regret transforming my EG into, what I call, a BEAST ;p - she's worth it, car handles great, great power/weight ratio etc...All depends on how much money you want to throw at it.

You didn't mean that lol :p
 
In all honestly you wont go wrong with either so I'd concentrate on finding a good, straight rust free shell rather than worrying about which generation to go for.
 
Ek9 with coilovers strut braces and a b18c-r = pure track weapon lol
 
All depends on the build; if I were to have a stock EK and stock EG. I'd build the EG for weekend/tracks (more into performance than looks) and EK as a daily-driver / show car (more into looks than performance).
If I were to have 2 EK's instead, i'd have a weekend and a daily :D
2 EGs? I'd rather sale both of them.
 
I think atm for the cost of making a nice track car you are best with a DC2, Comes with the most bang for buck as standard & Handles great. Rip out all you don't want and they are light too.

what if your budget if you don't mind me asking?
 
I would agree with most others in

EG - Lighter, would change the boot lid to a CF thou
EK - Stiffer, EK9 good choice
DC2 - Most bang for the buck both daily and track
