So, i know that pre-92 civics are EF's, 92-95 are EG, and 96 - 00 are EK and so on and so forth. What I want to know is what This EJ8, EM1, etc is all about. I know its the second 3 letters in your vin, but would someone please explain to me the importance of this?

 

Hopefully someone will come along with all the models of each generation but fyi
99-00 em1=si
96-00coupe =ej

No real importance, other than the chassis codes refer to the different years and models. (88-91 Civic, 92-95 US market hatch, coupes, etc)

 

the ef/eg/ek terms are simply for ease of reference, and to make us american kids feel more jdm. we really have ED for 4th gen, EH/EJ for 5th gen, EJ/EM1 for 6th gen

ej8 is 96-00 EX coupes and sedans
em1 is 99-00 SI coupe

 

EJ1 is a 92-95 civic coupe

 

its soooooooo jdm to know your chassis code... if you dont... you simply dont fit in here..

and here you go, i compiled all of these on hondaswap from a little research on auto-trader...
