Does anyone know how to break down your vin??


Mine starts JH4dc

J is japan
H is honda (?)
4 ?
DC body style

I guess after that is the month,year,day, factory, color codes, and finally the actuall number car for that lot.

Any help?

 

I use to know what everything meant. I cant believe I forgot. The 10th digit in is the year. "Y" was my00. My01 was "1". MY99 was "X". You can figure it out from there just count down and up. The only vowels used are A and E.

 

That makes sense,
The 10th on mine is T that makes it a 96

So here we go JH4DC #### T
Japan, Honda, ?, DC, ????, 1996, After that is letter S (month or factory?) Followed by a series of 6 numbers
