  • Okay, so technically this is an EJ vs EH chassis comparison. But you didn’t come here to debate chassis codes. You came here to see which of these two chassis’s is faster than the other. We took my B16b Type R Swapped EK Honda Civic to VIR to compete against my buddy with his B18C Type R Swapped EG Honda Civic. This is one of the most fun videos that I think we've made, and I hope you enjoy it!

      @RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom while this is true, a rwd or awd car would also spin out if youre on the limit and you decide to lift off and turn in. rule number 1 for beginners is to brake with the wheels straight and rule number 2 is allways drive through corners on the throttle. if you lift off or even brake mid corner the car will most likely step out on you.
      later down the line you will learn how to trail brake, heel toe and maybe even left food braking wich is mostly not neccessary on dry road courses tho.

They didn’t really dive into what the EH2 had for suspension, and staggered tires are pretty garbage once you match the suspension to the power and weight. I’ve always preferred square on my DC2.

    If you’re going to gut the back of a civic, you still need the downforce from a rear wing to stabilize the back end

      @5PYZ3R 4 года назад

      He's not gutted. Plenty of brutally fast EG's without rear wings, jacc's, seeker eg6, etc. rear interior is only worth 34lbs. While aero would help on a track like this I'm not so sure they would notice a huge difference until they perfect their lines and really understand FWD handling.

    Turning down the eg to 7200rpm to match the b16b is so dumb
    Sure it will make the same end power as the b16b
    but the usability of the gearing in the eg is out the window.
    The 2 engines have different torque curves well before max hp anyway .
    Dumb comparison

    • @petahlee
      @petahlee 4 года назад +3

      I agree. It was a major handicap for the eg to limit its rev to 7200, especially when upper 1k rev means it will stay in VTEC on upshifts.

      Great car to learn from. Not the car I’d chose tho but to each their own. Living in the states with lots of long, straight, open streets, cars like miatas and civics aren’t as exciting to drive on the daily as their owner might try to convince you. That being said, they can be a blast in the canyons and since they’re cheap you won’t have to worry about being out an arm and leg if you crash or break one.
