Default EK, EG? Whats it all mean?

Hey what does EG, EK... and those others that I've seen here?

You could try searching, there's a list of models and their description.

But just to point out, it was the JDM 96-00 civics that were the actual EKs.

For instance my '98 hatch is an EJ6, not an EK4/?/9

correct due to their high end JDM counterpart's chassis codes, it's easier to remember one term for a generation rather than five different codes for each.

check your VIN, the 4-6 digits will be EH3

in case you want to know what they really are/mean...

Yeah, I thought EK9 was the Type R. But I've only seen 3 #'s for EKs, but I would assume there would be 4, basic hatch, Type R, Coupe, Sedan
