si is good for what comes on it stock, but, id rather have something i could work on, like a cx

 

I like my CX. Maybe someday I'll build it for "ludicrous speed".

Nah. Probably not. I'll probably sell it to some lucky bastard.

 

dude, you're already faster than me :chuckles:

if thats not ludicrous speed, I don't know what is

 

Heheh. I guess you're right. I did run a 17.95 with the wrong injectors/exhaust/o2 sensor. I may very well... already be capable of ludicrous speed. I should take this thing back to the track to see, but I keep doing other crap to it instead.

 

thanks for all the opinions so what i'm gathering is cx if i just want a good light body to work on and an si if i want luxury if you can say civic and luxury in the same sentence

 

You barely can.

Civic hatches are all lightweight, driver-friendly cars... but because they're all so underpowered, every bit of weight you can save will help. Fortunately, most Honda engines with hydro trannies bolts into the 5g hatches without headaches, so you can make it whatever car you want. If your plans include a B-series swap, get whichever one suits you the best because when you add torque, the weight of power accessories matters less unless you're a competitive racer.

Edit: The Si's do have better brakes and suspension for supporting a B-series swap.

 

idunno. i like the EK style. and i never found a EG without some rust on it. just somewhere on there there's some rust.

 

CX is good, if you cant find one like that i would get the Si
I was planning on getting a hatch or a CRX this summer just for a Project
i thought it would be cool just to work on it and buy shit

 

I love my si, but I laugh when people talk about luxury. Mine has no power windows, power locks or a/c.

I love the 4 wheel disc brakes and the power moon roof.

I wouldn't trade it for any other hatch.

 

EK hatchbacks suck :down:
