Hey guys, i did a search before i created this topic and got nothing.

I searched a couple sites/forums and got some feedback on usdm vin's and how to identify them.

vin #: EF81100214

I kinda tried to sum it up, obviously EF8 is the code for a jdm crx.
1 is for 2 dr coupe (manual)

Pretty sure this is my firewall code (don't know though)

H3JOR
h- honda
j - made in japan

So this is what i've got so far, any idea on how to de-code the rest of the numbers?

another question:

How do i figure out what my serial number is? to explain further.. what product # my crx is out of all of the jdm crxs..

Thanks in advance!
