no, ef8.
find one with ALL the options.
climate control, abs, lsd, folding morrors, maplights.
yeah, if modding for race, then don't destroy one.

To me it's not just about what it can do, it's the history of the car, the technological advancements that Honda had made at that time in the automotive industry etc, you just can't fake the feeling.
It'd be like an MR2 with a ferrari bodykit. Even if the MR2 is faster, everyone will still want the prancing horse. It just means more.
eg6 no doubt man.. just cos its newer :)
I will enjoy driving my all go no show aussie civic thankyou.
Why would I drive a lesser spec car then mine aka EG6 and go "Oh my goodness, this is AWESOME" when mine is heaps better specked.
I care about the overall track package of a car, not some stupid Vin plate. I'll put an EG6 vin plate on my car and apart from no EG6 rear wing and bronze rear glass you won't be able to tell the differance, but who cares anyway.
But you got EG6 on your VIN, congrats.
This thread is about standard civics and as a standard street car EG6 is the ultimate EG civic but as soon as modified comes into it its only a VIN plate mate.
When you set the lap record in your fully sik JDM EG6 I'll listen to you about car performance.
This is EG6 VS EF9, not some dude with a chrome gearbox (pfff) telling everyone else that unless you have an EG6 your not King Dick.
Do you see the lap record holders (I won't mention companys/people but most people know who they are) around Australia whether it be in drag racing or circuit racing stressing that their EG's arn't EG6's?????? Honestly dude, you own an EG with bolt ons done by Honda, get over it.
Don't get me wrong, I would love an EG6/EF9 as a work bunky/weekend hacker car so I wouldn't have to drive my gutted track civic to work and everywhere with ear plugs and get police attention etc etc but rest assured when I do get one I won't be like "Oh my god, I own a JDM civic yo, I'm king dick" cos for pure performance/driving pleasure my AUSSIE EG5 will shame it, but for taking the missus out to the movies or dinner etc (Its embarrassing taking a chick out in a 90's civic even if it is an EG6) I'm sure she will apreciate the EG6 over the EG5 track whore as she won't have to yell on the freeway to overcome the noise, and won't have to bring 3 pillows to soften the blows of the suspension lol
oh i forgot it was a thread about eg5 race car/ef9
i forgot we were talking about road car here that is going to get used by the op on the rd
and civics that are jdm
oh yeah you dont own one
please love to see what a real hond arace car looks like
looks like you think you are king shit track race car driver to me
i wish i had a race spec aussie civic
make sure you understand the title before you post next time
thats right you couldnt read it because you left your visor down
still got your helmet on from racing
nice one
Whatever forum warrior, if I can't see out my visor how did I set the lap record.
Don't reply with some lame comeback, I'm sure the guy that started this thread knows by now what people think about EG6 and EF9.
the optional ABS on the EF9 SiR II was an absolute joke. Bulky and adding weight to the car - and it was hit and miss. A mate who had it in his removed it and replaced it with the standard SiR brakes. All SiRs had folding mirrors - the automatic folding ones I've seen once and that was at a wrecking yard and only the controller for it. The optional climate control was ok - I ran a relay to mine to bypass it though. Maplights - I can't find them in any of the Japanese brochures I have on the EF9 (Primo dealership).
Dammit - you made me go through all my EF9 catalogues including my Mugen EF9 one... time to start saving for a new EF :)
To the guy claiming Au spec cars over JDM ones... ignorance is a blissful state isn't it? :)
