abbreviations. EG, Bxx, EKx etc i'm reading the posts and am confused as to what this all means.

I'm bout to pick up a 97 Civic HB for a daily and getting rid of my 92 VW 2.0l 16V GTi might do a few mods to the Civic but nothing too crazy(famous last words) but anyway, please educate me on these things.

Thanks!

EG is the JDM tag for a 5th gen hatchback
EK " " " " " " 6th " "
Bxx....you're probably referring to engine codes...b16/b18/b20...(b-series 1.6L, 1.8L, 2.0L, respectively)...but keep reading, you'll catch on.

EG is also what people call 92-95 hatches in the states, when they really aren't truely EG's.

The "S" and "VTEC" trim del sols in the states are true EG's though, and so are some 92-95 4 doors.
codes like EG2, EK9, EH2, EM1 can all be found in your vin # i.e.
1HG"EM1"151YL004614
1HG"EG8"547RL033571

not quite as simple as that but thats the general idea. for example the EK4 is a 6th generation SiR and the EK9 is the CTR. but ususally when people refer to cars they say EG or DC or whatever. there is a lot of variations for specific models. also some of those are the japanese chassis codes, the amercan versions varry slightly. oh and u forgot one - DA which is the older integra . good info though

foofighter

dam! dont confuse me even more let's just keep it stupid simple for me...

Apex i ITR

That's why I listed most of the common acronyms thrown around here. He can do a search on stuff he has never seen bfore to get the meaning.

I have love for the EJ I just never listed it because I didn't want to confuse the guy. And I know itsn ot that simple but I am not gonna sit here and list every single acronym we throw around. Some times i swear it should have its own language.
