need help about ek4(hatchback)

[joshi]

hi guys im planing to be an ek4..1st of all are there any local ek4(hatcback) sold here in the phil or they are all surplus?, if surplus are the any orig LHD?are they made in korea or japan? my friend mentioned to me that there are fake copies of ek4 is this true?if so how can you spot the orig from the fake?
what should an ek4 have for an engine is is an SOHC vtec engine same as the 99vti or DOHC vtec same as an sir? is there an 99-00 model or only 96-98?most of the ek4 i have notice are matic tranny are there any manual tranny ?

and lastly what are the pros and cons about this car?

Alam ko walang local na ek4 hatchback converted into LHD mga yun.Ingat ka lang sa mga converted.Rare ang manua tranny na ek4.Alam ko meron akong nakita na binebenta na ek4 for 400k ata.Naka cf hood na.I've written an article about it entitled a scary experience.It is about a ek3 hatchback went to the right for no reason while going for an overtake in costal road.

what do you mean it went right for no reason ?oversteer to the right? ano dapat babantayan in buying a converted ek4?does it understeer and oversteer? is buying an ek4hatch better than buying an 5dor99vti?

It suddenly went to the right while in costal road.If you saw a ek hatch for sale in the evangelista don't buy it.

i personally wouldn't want to buy an ek hatch. everybody knows it's a converted unit with real safety issues that must be addressed before you even begin to race with it. they're also cheap. if lap times are my only concern in acquiring one, i would maybe think about it (lighter body than the sedan). either that or ibibigay sakin ng 150k PERO naka b16 na, or k20.

there's lots of local EKs running around here, puro sedan nga lang, but with none of the risks involved in an ek hatch from cebu/port irene with the welded solid ball and tie rod joints (i wonder how that handles sa straights? must be a pig to steer that lap after lap).

i have an ek myself i p.m.ed you already, to answer your question, alll ek in the philippines are surplus, there arent any orig lhd, they are all from japan, fake eks are those na putol putol, vti ang harap pero ek ang pweet, seen many of them , tiinganan mo ilalim ng mga mating kung may dugtong like sa may windshield, may pintuan at pwetan nya, tghese are done para ma register nila ek, sohc ang ek4, dohc ang ek9, halos lahat ng ek ay matic, unless nag change engine sya at nagpaklit din ng transmission

as long as ok conversion and orig lahat ng parts there's nothing to worry about. marami naman reputable shops para sa conversion. research research lang. and expect na gagastusan talaga yung conversion.
