I am just trying to figure out what an 1999 Civic Si is? EK or EG?

Thanks from a Civic noob!

 

Neither. It's an EM1.

 

EK man!

 

Padawans got it, the eg and ek's are the hatches for their own generations

Technically, Padawan is correct.

 

Neither. It's an EM1.

Many people call ALL '96-'00 Civics EKs or all '96-'00 hatches EKs. In reality, there was never an EK chassis coupe and there was never a USDM EK chassis.

Here are the USDM '96-'00 Civic chassis:

'96-'00 DX coupe
EJ6
D16Y7 - 1.6L SOHC non-VTEC

'96-'00 EX coupe
EJ8
D16Y8 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC

'96-'00 HX coupe
EJ7
D16Y5 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC-E

'99-'00 Si coupe
EM1
B16A2 - 1.6L DOHC VTEC

'96-'00 CX hatch
EJ6
D16Y7 - 1.6L SOHC non-VTEC

'96-'00 DX hatch
EJ6
D16Y7 - 1.6L SOHC non-VTEC

'96-'00 DX sedan
EJ6
D16Y7 - 1.6L SOHC non-VTEC

'96-'00 EX sedan
EJ8
D16Y8 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC

'98-'00 GX sedan
EN1
D16B5 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC CNG

'96-'00 LX sedan
EJ6
D16Y7 - 1.6L SOHC non-VTEC

Actually, true EKs can be either hatches or sedans. None were sold in the US though. They're all overseas car (Europe, Asia, South America, etc.)

There are EGs in the US though. No hatches, but sedans and a few del Sol trims.

 

Thanks for the quick responses and welcomes!
I have not seen the EM1 listed when looking for parts. Will the EG/EK parts work with EM1 cars?

 

I swear you work for Honda NOFX. Just Kidding.

 

and Amy covered about 5x as much as I did while I was typing that...

It's going to depend on the part. Remember that many people use the term "EK" to mean any 6th gen and "EG" to mean any 5th gen. While this is technically wrong, many peopel, including companies selling parts, will continue to use these terms.

It'd be much easier if they just listed the year range and motor and body style if applicable.

SOME CTR parts will fit his USDM Si. Some of the items that won't fit would include exterior body parts such as the rear lip. And of course, the CTR ran from 1997 to 2000. The Si only ran from 1999 to 2000. So the front ends CAN be different too.

'96-'98 coupes and sedans have the same exact rear bumper and lip. '99-'00 coupes and sedans have the same exact rear bumper and lip. They are interchangeable between the two ends of the generation, but the lips only fit (without modification) the correct year range bumper.

Check the link in my thread for a list of the differences between different trims.
