About a month ago I purchased my first project car - A 2000 Honda Integra base model! The 3rd generation Integra is based on the EG civic - same wheelbase, suspension etc. I completely agree about the exhaust note - the induction noise on a B series Honda engine is absolutely glorious and I've never understood why people drown it out with a raspy exhaust.

This is the sound of a raw, race bred motor. Honda was dominating everywhere during this era. Motorcycle, F1 you name it and Honda was winning. IMO the fifth gen civic is the most visually appealing and of course it is responsible more than any other chassis for launching the import tuner scene. Perhaps I'm a little biased as I have a 94 coupe. The DC2 type r was developed off this chassis...so much more could be said.

@gregb1469 4 жыл бұрын
It looks setup close to my integra type r. You don’t even get an appreciation for this type of car until you Autocross it or take it to a racetrack. Because it’s a momentum car it makes you a better driver because you can’t rely on power and torque to keep your speed up. Off throttle oversteer is the best thing about eg/dc/ek. Tell your buddy to go do a track day in that car and you’ll get an even better feel for it.

They’re not the fastest in a straight line but on a track they will keep up with a lot of things with twice the power, snobs will turn their nose out of them but they’re surprisingly very fun and amazing track cars wait until you try a boosted one that’s another story! P.S these can actually sound quite tasty with the right exhaust!👌🏼 hope everyone is having a fantastic day!

My favorite Civic by a wide margin. That being said, I think that all of them from that era are way way overpriced and while models such as the SIR are very cool, all of those extra parts just don't do very much, so I think it's a little bit silly. Also yes, that exhuast is terrible. I still do love them though. Integras of the same vintage often get the FWD crown for handling but I think it should go to these Civics.

My wife had a 92 SIR. The stock exhaust is not loud at all and if you can get aftermarket ones that only get a little louder once you reach the vtec switch over around 6K. A very fun piratical car to drive. Ours was stock except for the exhaust and a lot of fun on a back road. Twisting out the B16 A to 8K never grew old. She would still be driving it but our Canadian winters and road salt ate the body. We looked into importing another one from Japan, they are now more rare and getting pricey.

Stock EG6 weighs around 1040kg without ABS (SiR I) or 1050kg with (SiR II), EK9 Civic Type R weighs 1070kg. You can get these cars down to about 900kg but really need to strip it out, then hits a brick wall due to its steel chassis. They excel in Gymkana (autocross), relatively ok for short course track (1-1.5min ish) or British b roads. K20A engine swap is possible but probably need more work than on an Elise. Most aftermarket exhaust for it is minimal bend with minimal resonator, with no sound chambers, thus the annoying raspy, bumblebee ricey sound.

You should try and seek out some classic hot hatches like peugot 106s or even more recent Clio 1*2 with basic mods. If you genuinely love the thrill of driving you will enjoy them. If you drive them and dont enjoy it you have to then ask yourself, what is it that makes you a petrol head, beacause if you just like going fast you should move to bike, if you like exotic things then buy a fancy watch. This is a drivers car in the purest perception of the term.
