well i went over to the dark side.....

[Derek]

Heard it was a quick aul civic to be fair. my fave shape civic aswell. Had my eye on a yellow 99 type r civic yesterday very tempted.

 

[wesgt]

copycat i would love a yellow type r, best colour imo
@gt yeh no probs, we'll be about! just give me a shout and let me know when!

 

[addz]

I know exactly what you mean wes, crazy eh. You will have fun no doubt, albeit I would like a DC2 one day

 

[wesgt]

why are we all drawn to hondas :haha: i think its just to prove that at the end of the day.......ep's are the best:haha:

 

[Gee]

That light chassis should go well with the B18.

 

[Aidan-G]

lovely car,best of luck with it..

there was a dc2 around my house for a while,with a nice few mods on it ecu/gearbox/coilovers..it could bloody move!i loved it

 

[wesgt]

thanks aidan yeh dc2's are lovely but always had a soft spot for the eg's

 

[adi271087]

eg6's are the nices civic.
k20 eg6 ftw

 

[rickie]

Be under no illusion about how potentially quick this car could be. Quite devastating with just an ecu, intake, mani back system, cams alone. Be on the tail of bigger cars if you went for this setup to start with, no doubt about it

 

[wesgt]

sounds good rickie lol i'll get to work finding parts! already have a carbon bonnet and black recaros coming!

 

[Johnny_C]

tidy wes!

Just a note, vtec controllers are a scam.. you won't make any gains, in fact you will likely make your car slower by moving the vtec engagement point. Honda didn't spend millions of $$'s on development only to be bested by a $10 piece of electronics. Spend your money elsewhere if you want performance!

'What?! make vtec come in EARLIER? why didn't we think of that!'

Look forward to pictures mate

mate your exactly right. my mate has one of those r spec controllers. he set it a 4k and it felt like the performance died when it kicked in then picked up again at the normal kick in point. id say its better at 5700 where it should be like you said if it worked im sure they would have had it further down

 

[addz]

I really like the ef civis, a mate had one, looked nice!

 

[wesgt]

thanks johnny! yeh a lad i know had the coolest ef sir ever, i'll try get some pix of it

 

[billybob]

not a bad looking car lad the eg6 seemed to be well liked,but id take a toyota any day.the roar of the vtec is nice

 

[wesgt]

depends what the toyota is, but i prefer the looks of the eg hatch!

 

[JasonGlanza]

nice EG there as its a Japanese car its fuckin' nice guys

 

[Corey_gt]

Mint dude best of luck with it bit of a downgrade from a td06 Glanza and turbo type r. Love the egs.

 

[wesgt]

thanks everyone bit of a downgrade yes, but there unbelievably easy on petrol lol

 

[Gee]

Well yes and no.

Lowering VTEC without changing everything else to suit, like fueling and ignition etc is foolish. But VTEC lowered correctly on lets say a Hondata or any other mappable ECU, it is proven to make the cars faster and more powerful.

Honda, amongst other things set the engagement point up higher for economoy/reliability/driveablity etc.

I even have a video of a S2000 tested on the track and dyno at different points of VTEC engagement, the lower the more power to a point.
