I just got a 89' honda Civic Hatchback. Dunno what kind. It has a d15b2 SOHC engine in it. Could someone help me?i thought maybe a dx? i saw another one that looked excatly the same.

 

how many gears do you have, 5 speed or 4 speed?

 

if you have 4 speed, its definatley a "standard". if you have a 5 speed its either a dx or a std

there are more ways to tell them apart, maybe a hatch guru could chime in here?

 

its a 5 speed manual..Sorry forgot to mention that.

my std came with a pass. mirror, but then again its a 90 and the std should have the D15b1 and a four speed.

 

my 89 dx has no passenger side mirror, a d15b2, 5-speed manual, and not-body-colored bumpers. wtf?

well i dont know what the **** is goin on..
Here ..
4spd dpfi 1.5 70hp = STD
5spd/auto dpfi 1.5 90hp = DX
5spd mpfi 1.6 105-108 hp = SI

 

i have a 89 civic HB with a d15b2 no pass mirror 5 speed non-body colored bumpers and is a DX so thats my best answer. i think that it is a DX. what color is it.

 

i bought a 91 civic the other day and i dont know what it is. Its got a 4speed but a 5speed ***, i donno if the *** is stock though. i have no idea what model i got.
its go both passanger and driver mirrors and bumbers are black and dont match the rest of the car. I donno?

You just said it yourself, You have a 4 speed. The ONLY 4th gen civic that came with a 4 speed manual is the STD (standard). Yes, some STD's came with pass. mirrors, some didn't. Don't know why, but i'm sure it has to do with money. It is really easy to change shift ****. All you do is twist off, then twist on, no big deal.

 

Another easy way to tell a dx from an std is if you have that plastic black piece on your hatch.
so he has a b2 with a 4 speed?

 

i bought my 91 DX with 5speed, d15b2, no pass mirror, and both bumpers WERE painted, but the front end was resprayed, so they might of went and did the bumpers.

 

I got my 90EF with no front bumper, no back bumper, no interior, and no motor - - I wonder what mine could have been. I say call honda and give them your VIN maybe they can help and tell you what it is. My buddy that works at honda mentioned once to me they keep all that on record.

You can basically guild yourself by what Mrspeaker said here.

Good Day,
RH.

 

Mine has the programable fuel injected carb..

 

check your VIN #
also it maybe a DX or standard... one of those two....

 

Do i just goto a honda dealership with my VIN # and they will tell me what it is?

I was thinking it was a DX from other one's ive seen around.

Good idea, though it sounds like a dx to me.

 

dx, unless it has 4 injectors (no dpfi)
