Civic EG

i want to get a eg6/eh2 but i dont know which one to get?? someone plz help me choose

it depends what you want to get out of the car or what your plans are for it. You have the vx mpg beast, or the si with the d16z6 for performance. The cx is the lightest and weakest motor of the bunch, the dx is kind of in between them all.

I have a cx w/ a motor swap and I love it! Performance and lightness make for a great car overall!

for a first time buyer id probaly go with the dx that was technically my first civic style easiest to find and you have pretty decent options for the motor that comes stock in them plus i mean heck there everywhere finding a vx/cx to me is hard there out there but due to the gas mileage people want a good arm for them and maybe a half a leg or so.....but anyhow on the other side finding a nice si or ex that no one has completely trashed the begesus out of or modded the little guy out to no end is another thing to be on the knowledge about i mean not all are like this but alot are because they get in kids hands that all they want to do is race them......

so thats why i choose dx mainly because they are readably available if they where beat on if the body is ok then you really have nothing to worry about since those motors and trans can be found by the busload and you can mod them pretty easily and make decent numbers with them.

And me ive had cx dx(4dr) and si hated the si due to its weight and it wasnt treated very well......the dx was bought real cheap with a blown head gasket and thats what got me into hondas because it was so unbeleivably easy to fix.....and the cx was the same deal though it had a z6 swap in it it still was fast but at the expense of other things such as sway bars easy to find parts....yea the panels on the car will interchange with others but only cx and vx came without the side mouldings and those are quite hard to find....

For your first Civic I would recommend you find a stock DX.

The DX is cheap and easy to find. It has many features not found in the VX and CX, like multi-stage wiper speeds (CX and VX have the legal minimum of only 2, quite annoying), tilt wheel, rear wiper, sound deadening, and other things I'm forgetting. The DX engine lends itself to high compression mini-me swaps. Or you can get an aftermarket cam and a turbo charger for a better result even than the Si VTEC engine.

The Si is nice but heavier, more expensive, and much harder to find unmolested. Watch out for a leaky/rusted sun roof. The Si has power mirrors, power windows, power door locks, and cruise control. It has a SOHC VTEC engine (consequently making B series VTEC swaps virtually plug n play). The transmission has much better gear ratios than any other model Civic which accounts for much of it's speed advantage.

The VX is a great model being that it comes with a tach like the Si. It's wired for VTEC but all 92's and the federal models have a 5 wire O2 requiring a 4 wire O2 conversion. It has some exclusives like a lightweight alloy engine mount and alternator mount. Lightweight flywheel and a rear diffuser. Problem with the VX is they're hard to find, they have the most driveability problems (any tiny little vacuum leak or modification causes hiccups), and they are the most expensive to maintain (the non 93+ CA models at least) due to the expensive 5 wire O2. The VX engine does not lend itself to any kind of modification due to the very concise tuning in the ECU and the tiny throttle body.

The later models have some revisions to the fuel filter, valve cover, etc. The 94, 95 are a slight bit nicer but it may only be noticeable to people who really know these cars inside and out, upside and down.

I have a VX but I swapped the column for tilt wheel; and I swapped the black box inside the fuse box and the combination switch for multi-stage wipers. I may add dynamat one day to decrease road noise. Right now I'm actually working on swapping in OEM cruise control and power mirrors.

Thankx guys i was thinkking of the DX i am going to do a GSR swap in it to. Can someone send a link on how to convert the drum to disk brakes on the DX

when you go to the main page here before you access the forum scroll down youll see diy section click that and scoll till you see rear disc conversion or something like that and that would be it really....
