I am in need of a DD now that im going for more power in the S. And now that im going to try and make her pretty finally. LOL Im thinking EK coupe, first off... what engine should i get in it. B16, B18, B20, F22... or any varient of them put together, whats the best bang for my buck! It must have AC/heat as it will be my DD. How easy is it to find a nice clean example these days?

 

Look on craigslist bro. And a ek Coupe would be nice man. Whats your price range? Me and my girl have one, and a accord also and its always good to have a daily. Ours is a auto at that. lol!

 

Im gonna have to do a 5 speed... im looking around 3-4k.

 

EK means Hatch. EM means Coupe. This is my understanding....

 

^wrong. EK is hatch EJ is coupe and EM2 is newer 02 coupes. either way i say go with a 99-00 Civic with a GSR B18C1

 

Correct! Ill see if i can find some thing within that price.

 

I wouldnt mind an older hatch with a B16, 18 or 20...

 

How much did it cost for you to drop a K in your hatch?

 

just my .02 cents but i like having a daily i am not tempted to buy parts for it to make it faster (so i can spend more on the s) but most of all i like a daily that i can park outside (wherever) without fear of theft. you will never get that with a hatch (2x if it has a b, h or k swap)

 

I'm pretty sure that an EK Hatch is the same years as an EM1 Coupe (Both being 6th generation Civics) whiles EJs are Coupes but of the 5th generation.... But I dont wanna get into a pissing contest about this.
