My last Civic, the one without RPM gauge got stolen about 2 months ago, so I just bought another one, but I don't know if this has V-tech.

Where do I find the D16y8 stamp.? Does anyone have a picture of where it would be.?

Its a 1997

Look on the left side of this picture, your stamp will be in the same spot

I'm positive it doesn't have v-tech. But it's possible that it has vtec lol what do you plan on doing to it?

Ex models come with vtec from the factory, if he doesnt then someone swapped it out with a non vtec

Nope. And the HX has VTEC-E which is more for economy than performance.

Lx is a Dx with power windows+locks.

Lol funny you would know that I haven't heard of that before.

I had a kid in a parking lot ask me if I had vtec because he thought he heard it...car was idling... :/
