Whats the actual car name?
This is a really stupid question, here it goes.
My VIN on my CIVIC 2000 SEDAN says EJ9, but in the 4door threads they say that its an Ek?
So what name is my 00 Sedan really?? EJ9, EK4, EK9???

Re: Whats the actual car name?
JDM is EK USDM is EJ. We just call it by EK and EG because in the USA they are all EJ's and its gay to say EJ2-9. So its simply EK (96-00) and EG (92-95), EF (88-91), EM1 (99-00 Si).

Re: Whats the actual car name?
An EJ6 sedan would be a DX, DX-V (aka SE or VP) or LX.
An EJ8 sedan would be an EX.
Just call it by the year, trim and body. Don't try to confuse yourself or others anymore if you don't have to.
Example: "I have a 1998 EX coupe."
EJ9s were not sold in the US. They came with a 1.4L engine.
People call all '96-'00 Civics EKs sometimes, even though it's technically wrong.

EK is a general term (though technically wrong) meant to denote a 1996-2000 Honda Civic. Some might use it to refer in particular to 1996-2000 Civic hatches.
No true EKs were ever meant for sale in the United States.
Here is a brief run down of what they mean though. I'll include a commonly known trim and it's origin if there is one.
EJ6 - Coupe / Hatch / Sedan - 1.6L SOHC non-VTEC (USDM 96-00 CX/DX/LX/VP)
EJ7 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC-E 2 door (USDM 96-00 HX)
EJ8 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC 2/4 door (USDM 96-00 EX)
EJ9 - 1.4L SOHC non-VTEC 3/4 door
EK1 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC-E 3/4 door
EK2 - 1.3L SOHC non-VTEC? 3/3 door
EK3 - 1.5L SOHC VTEC 3/4 door
EK4 - 1.6L DOHC VTEC 3/4 door (JDM/EDM VTi/SiR)
EK5 - 1.6L SOHC ?? 4 door 4WD
EK6 - ??L SOHC ?? 3 door
EK7 - ??L SOHC ?? 3 door
EK8 - 1.6L SOHC ?? 4 door 4WD
EK9 - 1.6L DOHC VTEC 3 door (JDM 97-00 Civic Type R)
EM1 - 1.6L DOHC VTEC 2 door (USDM 99-00 Si)
EN1 - 1.6L SOHC VTEC CNG 4 door (USDM 98-00 GX)
Oh, and also:
JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
USDM = United States Domestic Market
EDM = European Domestic Market
And so on.
"X Domestic Market" means that car (or part) was originally built to be sold in "X" country (or continent). It has nothing to do with where the part was built or assembled.
For example, US '94-'01 Integras were built in Japan. They are still USDM though because they were meant for sale here. The same goes for US '96-'00 hatches. All USDM '96-'00 hatchbacks were built in Canada. They are still USDM though.
