Default New to the game!

Whats up! Well I am new to the civic game, well not entirely new all I have owned for the past 5 years have been civics. Started with a 95 civic dx coupe, now have a 99 civic lx sedan, and my wife drives an 08 civic ex. I have recently become very interested in the 92-95 civic hatchbacks.

What I have noticed is a lot of the hatchbacks come with engine and tranny swaps. Is there a way to tell if a swap has been done right? The last thing I want to do is spend money and buy a lemon. Wondering if there are some pointers on how to determine if things were done right or not.

Also still very new to the terminology of everything. I understand a good part of it but sometimes I read some CL ads and think I do not know what they are talking about. Any tips or pointers that would help me to buy a good civic hatch would be very appreciated thanks

do a ton of research and trust your gut. Compression tests and extended test drives won't lie either.

EG hatch is the best car ever imho. find a jem and preserve it!

Oh Nah...EG is the worst one out there..it got all kinds of problems that you will never want to deal it...get anything but a EG hatch! It's BAD!








































But if you find a EG hatch somewhere for cheap....you just let me know, so I can buy it!
