Which is Better Sir or Hatch?

[LAKANDULI]

Sirs

Which is Better Sir or Hatch gamitin ko pang trackday rwyb minsan drag palit ng engine balak ko b18c5 ang engine na balak kong ilagay?

pros n cons

[pepengtom]

mas magaan ang hatch. pero mas pogi ka sa Sir

[ssaloon]

pros...mas kasya ang b18 sa EK sir, newer body kaya less maintenance/repairs to prep for race specs.

pero pag sinalpak mo naman ang b18 sa EG hatch, hanep yung power to weight ratio mo, kaso daming babaguhin sa engine bay to accomodate that huge engine!

i think parts wouldn't be an issue kasi honda yan and readily available ang aftermarket support. if i were to choose, EK SiR nalang kasi pwede mong i-daily drive din yan tapos pwede ka pa magsakay ng 2 people sa likod comfortably. but that's just me, bro ;)

[ian_rex]

yes i do agree to what sir ssaloon said.

honestly, it depends on what you need / lifestyle and of course the most important one, budget.

plus, the engine of the SiR is 1.6L DOHC as compared to that of hatch (considering that it was still in stock condition).

just an opinion. :D

b18c5 hmmm.. TYPE R.... mahal nito ahhh... grrr.... nagbalak na rin kaming palitan ng b18c5 yung sa city typez ng kabarkada ko... eh hindi pasok sa budget kaya nilagay nalang namin b18ef tapos Type r cam chaft tsaka gears yung natira sa mods nalang hindi na sa engine....

i think much better kung SIR nalang... tama si ssaloon and ian_rex.. mas maganda kung sir nalang kesas sa hatch...

SiR

[ssaloon]

and a type R engine would cost around 350k (engine, transmission, brakes, plus a couple of bolt-ons and labor)

[DAPA]

SiR. Kahit as is pwede na.

[ssaloon]

OT:

DAPA, i always see your civic parked sa galleria B3 parking when i go there to work out. sayo yung sunburst yellow na SIR with ram intake diba?

[tagalnasaabroad]

i'm no drag enthusiast so hatchback is more adaptable for my family use:
pros:
more luggage space
luggage accessibility inside the car
cons:
smelly cargoes can seep in and sticking odors inside

solution:

seal tight your smelly loads for longer trips..

nako hiro...sino nanaman kasama mo jan..tsktsktsk

[odell]

Sir... gwapo kahit pareparehas na kayo.. basta matuto ka umiba ng porma para mapansin..

[the_wildthing]

Trackday...I would think the hatch would be lighter and smaller and therefore easier to maneuver around a track...

Of course, I haven't driven any Honda so I wouldn't really know.

ic unang choice ko SiR tlaga noong nagbakasyon ako dyan yon frend ko my SiR and i did test drive it wid stage 1 mod malakas n sya pero syempre it wont stop there if it was mine ang kotse ko is Integra d2 sa US wid a B18A non vtec malakas ng konti compare b16 kya gus2 ko lagay is itr engine f m kpag bumili ako ng civic dyan sa pinas.

mas magaan nga lang ang hatch

my alam b kyo f ilang HP ang pnakmlakas na my gamit ng itr engine?

tnx sa mga rply

IMO a B18C in a hatch would do just fine at least better than a stock SiR

[chieffy]

kung pang track...hatch na with b18c...less space kaya pang laro lang talaga

kung pang track at pang araw-araw...SiR na...enjoy it first sa stock condition

Sino pa ba, e di si misis. Loyal to.

Anyways, kung ITR engine talaga gusto mo, and if I were given such opportunity, ilalagay ko na lang sa hatch. Parang sayang kasi pagiging SiR ng isang SiR kung iba na rin pala ang laman. It will be no different from a VTi na naka ITR engine kasi pwede rin naman i-convert ang VTi to be exactly like an SiR. That's just me..

Marami bang kailangan 2 convert vit to sir?
