What kind of civic do I have???

I have a 2000 EX, I keep seeing EK EG etc... But my first 5 of the VIN are 1HGEJ.
Is mine an EJ? And why don't I see anything on it?

You have an EJ8 ('96-00 North American 2dr and 4dr, D16Y8 engine). However, '96-00 Civics are almost always incorrectly referred to as "EKs". This is silly and confusing because there was never a Civic sold in North America with the "EK" chassis code - only in other continents.

That was fast... That's what I though, but why don't many people talk about it? Is this a good civic to do swaps in? I know this is the wrong forum, so I'm going to go elswhere after this...

Thus is the right forum. And everyone talks about it.
