Civic EG Hatchbacks still worth it in 2020?

[NiCe2KnowU]

Kahit gaano pa ka pormado katawan nyan tapos mahina naman yung makina, tawag dyan - all show, no go. As if makadagdag sa power output yung body kits at spoilers. Hehehe

On a different note, a properly modified EK with a sport suspension, a decent engine, fitted exhaust, and intakes will make one sweet driving FWD car.

Kaya naman ma pusoy ng kargado na sohc ang dohc [emoji16].. Wag lang din kargado yung dohc

Isa pa ang bigat ng pyesa ng Dohc kesa sa sohc.. Kaya ok na siguro yung mga SIR body kung ricer lang din naman at hindi naman racing is Life [emoji23]

Oh well, siguro mag-iipon nalang ako para sa FD. Pang daily lang naman, okay na ba K20 or may ibang engine na mas tipid sa gas?

You mentioned in the start of this topic that it will be your first car, tama? Naku, pinagdaanan ko/namin din yan... as a college student, it will be very difficult to stay true na “pang daily lang naman”. Sooner or later, you will crave for more than that, like:
1. Performance parts/brand sticko (e.g. spoon, trd, ralliart, sparco, etc.)
2. Club sticko (e.g. PADEK, grupo, mlph, etc.)
3. Shop sticko (e.g. H3 autoworks, candyshop, clifford, etc.)
4. And some more sticko (e.g. nuffsaid, tanginamo, safe, etc).
5. Then you will realize sticko doesn’t add “that much” hp to your car.
6. Then. you will try to start to learn the basic of ICE.
7. On the side, someone will introduce to you the ported/sealed box, the SP/SQ, the “gapang”, the 12 inches, the 1-2-3-4 ch, etc.
8. Then the stance and the wide wheels
8.1. The car shows, and syempre the mowdels.
9. Then come the track day, and you’ll realize that all of the above (except for #6) doesn’t help making your car run fast.
9. The. you’ll be serious about the real hp and the engine transplant, the coil overs, etc.
10. Then start ka ulit ng topic sa tsikot: first project car.
11. Then you’ll sell your FD to get an EK/EG.

Hahahaha! So, gets mo na? Just stick with the original plan... kung ano yung napusuan mo sa umpisa, push na agad! Promise, dun ka din papunta.

Nga pala, walang kasamang chicks jan sa taas ah. Bahala ka na kung saang stage mo gusto isingit. Additional budget kasi yun. [emoji4]

Mas nakagulo ba sa decision making? Hehe!

get an 86.
it may not be fast, but it looks good, and it will surely attract the goils... and the gang.
also, it's too small and you won't evolve into the barkada schoolbus.

First at current car ko ay 1997 honda civic vti ek.

Binili ko lang to para pag praktisan at gawing service, kaso kakasilip ko sa mga honda groups sa fb eh nademonyo na rin ako lol.

Lahat naman siguro ng car brands eh merong mga enthusiasts pero base kasi sa mga nakikita ko parang sa honda yung pinaka marami dito sa atin eh.
Silip ka lang sa kung anong civic group sa fb, andami mo makikitang mga "loaded" na mga sasakyan.

Nahihirapan ako ngayon kasi nahihirapan ako pigilan ang sarili ko maging financially responsible dahil sa mga nakikita kong mga mabibilis na eg/ek sa fb


-------------------

Anyway, sa mga nakapag drive na ng both EK na VTI at SIR dito, ramdam na ramdam ba ang difference nila sa power?

Gusto ko na matauhan at makuntento na lang dito sa VTI ko eh hahaha

(Tignan nyo, di ko pa na exp yung SIR pero na hahype din ako. Dahil yan sa mga temptations na nakikita ko online hahaha)

The Civic EK in VTi or SiR trim will still be not as fast or quick as the 86 or BRZ assuming with stock engine outputs. If you want a quick and fast Civic, get the Type R (not those sticker versions that ricey dudes have).

Ako nagsimula lang din mag-isip bumili ng EK nung kakasimula ko magtrabaho. Nagandahan lang ako sa itsura niya. Then, habang nakakaipon, napaisip ako magFD. Habang tumatagal, nawawala yung amor ko bumili ng EK.

Nung nakabili ako ng FD, yoko na bitawan haha. Ayoko na din nung interior ng EK. Napapangitan ako.

Then again, hindi ako Rice-rice, baka may factor hehe. I'd rather keep the FD exterior stock, and maybe upgrade some in the k20 (or swap engine )

Bihira nalang ako makakita ng FD pero kpag nakakita ako napagkakamalan kong vios

This thread reminds me of my college days... twice din akong nadapa bago nakinig kay itay

Before I purchase an old car... Iniisip ko muna, anong gamit namin sa house ang mas matanda pa sa car na bibilhin ko.

Then imagine the car na ginamit everyday ng kung sino sino... how will it hold

2nd - gaano ko sya katagal gagamitin (let's face it, first car medyo sentimental)

3rd - sya lang ba ang car ng family? and may marunong ba gumawa sa family

Last - gaano ka kaluwag sa finances... masisira yung car, titirik, mababangga. kailangan may extra cash ka palagi

As for the question about EG Hatchbacks...

Get someting newer (honestly di din ako nakiniig noon... hanggang 2nd car ko matigas ulo ko)
