Not sure if the body lines are the same, does anyone know? It looks like this kid did it, but Im not sure what all was involved… [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-CIVIC-HATCH-BACK-H-B-B18C1-EG-EK-DOHC-VTEC\_W0QQitemZ190113693591QQihZ009QQcategoryZ6256QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-CIVIC-HATCH-BACK-H-B-B18C1-EG-EK-DOHC-VTEC_W0QQitemZ190113693591QQihZ009QQcategoryZ6256QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) ---

yes it can be done, but not without fabrication, and it looks gay. Search honda-tech for EK conversion ---

EVER but the red one ricksi posted doesn’t look terrible. yea… with my eg hatch fetish… its hard to stray form anything other than the original, but i agree it really doesnt look so bad on the red one posted. or maybe its just that the car could be rolled over with its windows smashed in and i’d still love it to death… i man come on, its an eg hatch… ---

I have an EP fetish along with those K20 motors EP is better than EG IMO. ---
