cb5 is the acura vigor in america..cb7 is fourth gen acourds and i belive that the cb9 are 4th gen wagons cds are 5th gens dont know bout others

 

actually i meant the cd5 & cd7...but thanks. so i guess that means i have a cd5...since i have a 4 door 94 accord. but does anyone know that reason why its called a cd5?

 

cd5 is just a chassis identification number.....

CD5 (94-97) Accord Sedan
CD7 "" "" Accord Coupe

all accords (+3rd gen and up i belive), preludes, etc. are built on the same "series" of chassis...the C series....b,d,g,etc are all just designated what came first or second....the numbers might have some meaning, but they simply differentiate between sedan, coupe, wagon, or trim levels, etc

It's just a chassis code....like certain year civics are ej's some are eg's some are ek's etc etc. Every model is specific, accord to a s2k to a nsx.

You can learn a lot from looking at your VIN number....I will try to find the breakdown of the information .

say the beginning of the vin number was jhmcb7:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">J = Japan
H = Honda
M = Passenger car built in Japan
CB7 = Accord 2.2L

If your first digit starts with a:
1 = US
2 = Canada
3 = Mexico
K = Korea
V = France
J = Japan</TD></TR></TABLE>

if i remember right, the first digit gives country of origin for the body, second digit gives vehicle manufacturer, thrid digit gives country of origin for engine, next three would be the chassis code.

feel free to correct me if i'm wrong about the body versus engine origins (1st and 3rd digits).

 

if someone has a legit SiR 5th gen, check out the vin.....it starts with a 1.....so why the **** didnt we get that car

my good friend's mom works in the accord division in Ohio; I have pictures of her with Honda's president

I've been begging for her to get me some japanese parts.

 

Get a lot of them and set up a classified ad for Accords. That's the way to do it, spread the wealth.
