For me, the EF is the winner. It’s the better looking, and definately better sounding car. But let’s be honest, both cars are great, this build was such a treat! Thanks, Speed Academy🙏🏻

EF looks like a literal box with wheels... lmao

We are all "winners" for this one. Especially us 40-something-year-olds (I'm 47) that had these cars back in the day. I had a black 91' Civic Si hatchback, a black 90' integra hatchback, a maroon 87' Civic Si hatchback, and a 81" accord hatchback was my first car. All these cars were stick shift of course.

[@forty-glocc]

i'm 37 i had a milano red '99 Civic SI EM1 in about '06 but unfortunately it wasn't long lived. I got rear ended right after i put a few mods on n it was totaled out with 27k on the ODM. I wish i could get my hands on a nice "affordable" EG

Im 42 and rolling in a 2018 Civic Si 6 -speed :)

[@snupermoto723]

Power and torque is very nice, but the sound of an N/A B series cam change-over & screaming over 8,000 is just beautiful, and lightness is king on a twisty road. Chef's kiss !

[@cocx88]

Back in the 2000s, I had an EG, and my wife had an EF, that makes this series sweeter for me.

[@Spec_V]

That EF just nails that golden era Honda to the T.

Older enthiast here (55). Loved watching these two builds. I swapped a B16A (SiR) into my EF 15 yrs ago and still have it. That engine is magical. I owned an EG before that, and still miss that car. This video is spot-on about the nuances between the two, re ergonomics, cornering feel, etc. I love them both. Great work!

[@jpwsmc]

The style and lightness of the EF will forever hold a special place in my heart. AutoXed and tracked one for many years.

[@Busydadgarage717]

If I could give you 2 thumbs up I would. The EG got me, and I have only ever owned EF'S. Great builds!

I miss my EG. I had one w/ a B16A swap. Was so fun revving to 8000. Maybe I’ll get back into one.

[@Driftmonkey]

I'm just sorting the rust out on mine at the moment. The cowl panels are spot welded together in bare steel, sealed, then painted/dipped. The sealant holds moisture and eventually gets to the bare steel inbetween the spot welds. I've checked 7 civics so far and they've all had rust in the same spot, whether it be EJ1 EG4 EG6 EG8 EG9.. Just a heads up if you do want to get another.

[@ZachD]

both of these builds are so proper. thank you so much PT and DP for brining us this series. the attention to detail in all phases was very apparent. I hope the YT algorithm gives you the rewards you deserve.

[@jjolly727]

Watching the tach needle in the EF reach for the steering wheel hub at the top end of each gear is gold. NA B is an absolute symphony!

[@tragicnomadic]

Man that turbo EG is hot. But which am I putting in my garage? Vtec EF! It just has this aura around it and it's cool! The Egg will go on no doubt.

[@therealboofighter]

Saturday morning Car-toons. Love the track action.

[@mostlyuselessgarage]

LOVE this track battle film! You guys have built 2 legendary 80s/90s era Hondas and proven them straight-up on track. Altho these types of films don't get as many views thank you for sticking to your built for street and track principles! Great driving guys

[@jah2mon]

Thanks!

[@gabrielash9433]

I've missed these kinds of videos so much! This is what makes Speed Academy special. Love it! (EG all the way for me)

[@Thacardoctor]

I grew up in a 1991 civic si hatchback, that’s the car that started everything for me. EF ❤!

[@mattfraser9]

This whole series was so cool. That EF made me emotional. My first car was a 1990 Si that looked damn near identical. I miss it every day!

[@pr0craztinazn]

I know you guys say the track videos don’t get the views, but at the end of the week when there’s a Speed Academy track video that’s new, it jumps to the top of the heap. I bought my second set of new Continental Tires in part because of your channel FYI.

[@danlohan4537]

👏 Applause for taking them to the track and showing they are functional builds and not just ornaments.

[@Spark972]

Had an EG with B18 type-r engine & torsen, what a sweet memory of 9400rpm red line... But my EFs with D16A9 DOHC were cool too even with less power, the fun was still there.

[@tekniq511]

Awesome video guys, thank you!! I love how you implimented the "touge' chase/follow format and also swap cars and drivers at the end - which allowed the other driver to share their input and feedback. Love that guys! This is why you guys are legit "Speed Academy" (throwing back to the "a$$2000" to "bada$$2000" content days). Thanks again guys - love ya'll!

[@tylerworthington9090]

That ef interior brings back so many memories for me. I loved my si.

[@Alodri]

B16 w/ S1 trans in my EF was REALLY fun! Gearing of S1 was comically short but a blast just to drive around town. Plus JDM ECU was still speed limited to 112mph and that was just enough at my local road course long straight. Car is no longer swapped and now just enjoying that 40mpg life with the nimble lightweight driving feel.

[@Shhteeve15]

B16B in both cars and run it back! I think with a little more time put into the EF's suspension, it would've killed the EG. This series was such a treat to watch, great job boys!

[@Euphorica]

Pete trying to show us the beautiful EF sound down the straight and brother wouldn't stop talking 😂

[@jasonward1312]

I owned a ‘90 EF(first car) and later a ‘96 EK. Hatches still hold a special place for me. Loved this series. Keep up the good work.

[@dlee6985]

EF for me, since I owned a white 91 Si as my first car back in 2001. Was so excited to drive it, I went to the garage where it was waiting to get safetied, at night and “borrowed” it so I could practice driving manual. Put two different plates on it because one of my moms plates wouldn’t come off so I “borrowed” my neighbours 😅 Drove to the beach at like 3am, got pulled over and a $6000 fine for no insurance/plates etc 😂😂😂 Good times, good times.

[@rx7pete769]

One of the best YT channels! Having owned both, the EG for me is the winner.

[@VS666]

LLLEEETTTTTSSS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!! So stoked for this showdown! Loved this build series, all of this is very relatable for most enthusiasts from budget to goals and obviously car choices

[@WannaSkate]

continental is smart for sponsoring you guys! you guys are the reason i get their tires 🤟

[@jnl88]

Both of these are absolute gems. Excellent video.

[@BryceRehder]

Such an amazing build off, please more golden Era Honda’s 🙏 fantastic to see these come together.

[@LyfOnAir]

Being an older honda head the EF has my heart as I absolutely love these machines and the platform itself. In the same token the Eg is a beast itself in the performance department between both builds. Best thing about both of theses chassis is they have timeless good looks and never look as old as they are!

[@MarioFunk]

Guys! Another KILLER series! Loved both builds, especially the old-school nature of the EF... But, I gotta say, the torque of the EG was just too good! I wish I could buy one of these beauties, but I'm confident whoever does buy them will be getting some truly awesome machines!

[@dumbestoyster]

That n/a ripper is just too good

[@variousd3507]

I have been watching your channel since I was in college in the States, then back to my home country, and now in TO. Where I realized that you in Canada blew my mind! You have great taste in wheels, tail lights/headlights/bumper replacements. Continental tires are awesome too I have on my car. Hard to choose between the two. I guess I would go with the EF the way you built it. Have an awesome day.

[@wesdumalski5630]

Rad build fellas!!! I loved this series as the EF build reminds me a lot of my old 1.6 200SX shitbox project. 250WHP and 220WTQ 2125 lbs; there is just something right about that power to weight..... Keep up the awesome work!

[@calebz5890]

Another amazing build series! I can't wait to see whats to come.

[@kalmtraveler]

For me, the screaming high RPM VTEC motors are just more fun to whip around. The old Top Gear hosts said it best - something along the lines of "you can push a slow car to it's limit on public roads, but you can't really enjoy a fast car outside a race track".

[@jinsungpark6410]

Been watching for 8 ish years now. Awesome stuff

[@cwbetb]

❤ you guys had my heart when you said Hot Version! This should be required viewing for all car enthusiasts

[@craigsawyer6453]

The way to pick a winner is to put them to the test that they were designed for... Load up the family, go to the next town, get groceries, a drive through meal and back - its performance, efficiency, practicality, along with the smiles that driving cars this fun brings.

[@y.b.-]

Nice to see you guys back at the track, love both cars 🤩

[@TML34]

Gotta give the win to PT. It’s just faster everywhere and not unruly. DP also has some valve stem seals to change. 😂

[@camerongrady580]

Ill take both, please! What a fantastic series. Thank you Speed Academy!!

I love them both equally from a body style perspective but I think the EG with the B16 would be my ideal golden era Honda. This has been a great series!

Coming from an integra type r, Id love to take these two civics out on the track. Nice work guys youre building legends!

Back again for another Saturday morning episode of SA!!! If Dave put a turbo on that VTEC monster, he would give Pete a run for his money! Either or... these 2 retro Hondas were GREAT builds! Well done guys! 🤝

[@mrbookends]

It's insane to me how much nostalgia effects my brain - that EG Civic is the bee's knees and I'd take it over any car from the last 10 years, just based on fun per dollar

[@jjolly727]

That EF is absolutely freaking perfect in every way 🤌

[@gallardo20000]

Refreshing to finally see a complete track battle without a motor blowing on the European end (sorry not sorry)

[@MrBenstero]

Track day hype!!!! For me, the EG with a turbo vtec motor. Although it would be a lot more violent once boost and TEC comes on, it's so much fun. Drove a b18c5 turbo motor a few times and it was an awesome experience.

[@Killerconceptz]

God I love the classic Honda builds! Thankyou again for a great versus! @speedacademy Pete and Dave!

[@sl33per1]

On a shorter twisty track, that EF would shine. The suspension looked like it needed a bit more dialing in too. Great video!

[@stkiswr]

I’ve owned a few ef and eg. I have a soft spot for both. But I love that b16b for simple Honda love. What a engineering beauty

[@TheRebuilt1]

Great build and really enjoyed. I love the EF and B series Vtec sound but that EG is really nice. I still have my 88 EF with JRSC D16 and 87 CRX with GSR from 93 integra and will die owning them as they are both so much fun to drive. There are of lot faster cars now but i enjoy these cars so much. i have driven Evo, Z06 Corvettes and Porsches but i love the analog feel of both cars even in my 50's.

[@zeroyon4562]

This is great. Makes me miss my Hondas, I’d like to build a turbo EK after watching this. There’s just something about them.

God these builds are SO clean. My parents had an 88 Civic so my heart is with the EF.

[@im_an_alvani]

Finally seeing that tach needle get buried on the EF was SO satisfying.

[@darrylcavanaugh9465]

Just another video that makes me regret letting my STOCK, white with blue interior EG/DX hatch go. It chucked the stock engine, and I had too many other projects in line. DANG IT! Great channel, guys. Add me to the group of ‘Saturday morning cartoons’ list. Its the way I start my weekends!

[@jngtruong]

I had the opportunity to own both Si but the EF does win my heart. Nonetheless, both were executed very clean and nice. Great series Speed Academy. Always look forward to my Saturdays

[@Deetroiter]

Best part about both of these cars? The windows are large enough you can actually see the world outside of them.

[@PDRIFT86]

These builds were awesome! I own a 90 ED6 with a B18A1 and i have a B20V (B20 block GSR head with type-r cams) that will be going in soon. Y'all got me re thinking my goals. That turbo life looks too good! Also, my shoes have Continental soles as well, Adidas Terrex.

[@liam821]

I am happy y'all are happy because I love this channel and have watched every episode since you first cut the cage out of the FRS, but please, no more Hondas for a while. I can only watch so much Honda content in a row ha

[@malanne1]

I have a CRx back home in Canada. I love the early look better. The looks is more Honda quality refinement and less bulbous than the EG. But I’m living in France now and I bought a EG, 1.3 carbie car with 150k kms and I’m in agreeance that the ergo is better. I’m lovin it. Just waiting for the swap to happen to start doing track days! Great content for guys our age, Nostalgia!!

Favorite build by a tad bit over the BMW wagon. I’d autocross the EF and flog it like I stole it. Watching you, Gears & Gasoline, Demuro made me think a weekend build battle reality show style competition between KZbin car channels would be a fun watch.

[@backnunAndy]

I wonder how it would drive with today's sticky tires. I had so much fun back in 90's with EG and EF civic. Lightness with double wish born type suspension geometry at all four corner. With this much power, it would be so fun for sure!

[@marcbergeron-e7r]

i own an EG B engine vtec turbo that i want to try on the track this year so i would have to say for me it is EG all the way, but we have to remember that the EG is what it is because of the EF i really like what you are doing guys,

[@duanebailey6253]

As fun as the type r b series are. The long gearing and almost perfect hp are hard to pass on. My fav setup is a f23 or f20 with the ls trans. Easy to pull alot of rotating mass and make over 220whp. Stock turbo d series vtec is always amazing. The type r just feels slow these days. Great for learning power management in road racing the motor is stout.
