I do drive an ek its a 1997 hatch and your right its 2253 not 2238 according to the 6 th gen spec top right of your screen you need to know your facts before you post stuff you have no idea about bud the only part of your whole post that was right is the quote from oc civic
This coming from the guy who said a GSR swap weighs 100 lbs more than the D series did.
It's one thing for an 18 year old kid to come on here and make a thread asking a question like yours, but you're 38. You can't figure out on your own, that a car weighing at least 500lbs more, but makes only 20 more hp is going to lose?
And here's a list of chassis codes so maybe you can figure out you don't drive an EK unless you plan on posting photos of your RHD civic.
