Is there any difference between Canadian civics and US civics?
A friend told me that Canadian models were quicker and I wanted to know if this was true, so could anybody clarify this question for me. thanks.

YEE*MagicEK20kombobomber

in canada:
an EX is an Si
an Si is an SiR

they have a kick *** thing called an EL which is basicly a civic sedan with a diff front end n interior. iono bout canadian models being faster than their USDM counterparts. but maybe thier motors are like JDM motors. a lil more kick in em. hope that helps with something

one of my friends has the 1.6el its really nice. it looks like the front end of a civic but the rear tail lights look like that of a 2000 accord.

:jdmshmaydm:

Ummm...Canadian models have daytime running lights.

what about on a 95 dx hatch (eh2) with the d15b7 in it?

BTW, I hit a 100 posts!!

My US California emissions Civic EX coupe was made in Canada. It's quick.

There is no difference between Canadian and American Civic's. They just changed the badging around. If I'm not mistaken, all civic coupes are made in Alliston, Ontario, Canada, which is where the Acura 1.6 and 1.7 models are also made. The 1.7 is the newer and more boring version, but for anyone who hasn't seen it, go to google and search for Acura 1.6EL.....really sharp looking car. I'm surprised that swapping that front end onto your US civic's hasn't caught on yet.

92-93 CDM CX has d15b7, compared to USDM CX having a 70hp motor.


and Yes, 1.6EL is one of the greatest honda (<---sold his 2 weeks ago)

front end pic for all you swappers. this would just bolt right up?
does'nt the 1.6el use the same motor as the 7th gen civic?

I really don't think canadian civics are quicker than USDM. We do have daytime lights, maybe some more minor differences. An exemple of this would be like the CRX's seatbelts. US CRX have em in the doors, and CDN CRX don't. I have never seen a USDM civic so it would be hard for me to tell any differences, but I owned a USDM CRX .

1.6 el is a 4 dr civic in different sheet metal.

I've been seriously considering buying one for my wife. I know she wants a four door.

Might drop a geeser motor in there and put a greddy turbo on it.

AMG

This is kinda off topic and maybe dumb, BUT i have noticed that as i open my hood, there is a metal plate that says Made In Canada!?!? Never thought much of it before, but was mine made in Canda and/or a canadian car or do most/all 92-95 hatches have this?

The 4dr LX (or is it the DX?) in the US is called an SE in Canada....and the speedo is in Kph instead of Mph

kilometers vs. mph

Apex i ITR

metric system is better then standard anyway. Americans need to catch up.

EDIT: Oh, you ment "like" JDM, that would be cool to get swaps from up there!

Canadian 92-95 Cx hatchbacks came with DX motors, we don't have the 70 hp motor.

My Civic coupe was manufactured in Ohio, not in Canada.

FWIW there are a ton of differences between CDN and US model civics. Airbags on certain models, heated mirrors, colours, just a ton of little stuff, that has already been mentioned. The colour thing for instance, on the 99-00 SiR in Canada, you could get it in FBP, EBP, MR, and VSM. Things like that, there are more but I can't think right now.
