ITS CALLED A CHASSIS code.
if your wondering where its located on your car, take a look at your VIN(vehicle identification number) number.

Vehicle Descriptor Section. These 5 characters occupy positions 4 through 8 of the VIN and may be used by the manufacturer to identify attributes of the vehicle. Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.

 

no... seeing how thats the jdm sir, check yur vin xhgEH2xxxxx, u u got the CX so it will be EH2, Eh3 is the Si

 

And for the person that asked,92-95 coupes are either EJ1 or EJ2...... remember kids,we are in the states. NOT Japan. So be carefull rambling off those JDM nutswinger codes..............

 

whats wrong with saying the codes?
they do apply to all cars (from 1980+) no matter where they are from.

 

There isn't anything wrong with using the code generically IMO, such as EF/EG/EK. It's the spread of misinformation that isn't right. Look a few posts up to see what I'm talking about.

 

look at your vin number dummy

 

the vin wont show wich it is it will if its from japan ie.. my accords vin starts with J and has CD someware in the vin number(95 accord 4door in japan are CD5) my hatch is a 92 vin starts with a 2 and there is no EG in the vin number the closest thing to it is the first 4 are 2HGE..

 

its the 4,5,6th digits you look at..

disregard 2HG.. and then it would be something like EJ1 EJ2 EJ6 EJ8 EH2 EH3..

if your car is from the US.. its not going to say "EG" because it IS NOT an eg, same goes for ek. all us hatches are EJ6's

 

 

HERE YOU GO>> LETS YOU KNOW all OF THE characters


How to read a VIN
1st character- Identifies the country in which the vehicle was manufactured.
For example: U.S.A.(1or 4), Canada(2), Mexico(3), Japan(J), Korea(K), England(S), Germany(W), Italy(Z)
2nd character- Identifies the manufacturer. For example; Audi(A),
BMW(B), Buick(4), Cadillac(6), Chevrolet(1), Chrysler(C), Dodge(B),
Ford(F), GM Canada(7), General Motors(G), Honda(H), Jaquar(A), Lincoln(L), Mercedes Benz(D), Mercury(M), Nissan(N), Oldsmobile(3), Pontiac(2or5), Plymouth(P), Saturn(8), Toyota(T), VW(V), Volvo(V).
3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division.
4th to 8th characters- VDS - Vehicle Descriptor Section. These 5 characters occupy positions 4 through 8 of the VIN and may be used by the manufacturer to identify attributes of the vehicle. Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.
9th Character - The check digit "character or digit 9" in the sequence of a vehicle identification number (VIN) built beginning with model year 1981 (when the 17 character digit format was established) can best be described as identifying the VIN accuracy.
A check digit shall be part of each vin (since 1981) and shall appear in position
nine (9) of the VIN on the vehicle and on any transfer documents containing
the vin prepared by the manufacturer to be given to the first owner for purposes
other than resale. Thus, the vins of any two vehicles manufactured within a 30
year period shall not be identical. The check digit means a single number or letter
"x" used to verify the accuracy of the transcription of the vehicle identification
number.
After all other characters in the VIN have been determined by the manufacturer
the check digit is calculated by carrying out a mathematical computation
specified. This is based on vin position, sample vin, assigned value code,
weight factor and multiply assigned value times weight factors. The values are added and the total is divided by 11. The remainder is the check digit number.
The correct numeric remainder - zero through nine (0-9) will appear.
However, if the remainder is 10 the letter "X" is used to designate the check
digit value/number.

10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1988(J), 1989(K), 1990(L), 1991(M), 1992(N), 1993(P), 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T),
1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y)------2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3)
11th character- Identifies the assembly plant for the vehicle.
12th to 17th characters- VIS - Vehicle Identifier Section. The last 8 characters of the VIN are used for the identification a of specific vehicle. The last four characters shall always be numeric. Identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled off the manufacturers assembly line.

 

LOL......You said it....You guys and your EG6987435678.115. Jesus.........

 

lol apparently the whole 92-95 are EG`s hahaha

 

lol @ nonsence in this thread

 

No,here in the UNITED STATES they are either EH(hatch) or EJ(coupe).................Which is what I have been trying to say alllll along.In JAPAN it's an EG.

 

It's most definately in the VIN number. I saw somebody say something about it not being in there, I believe it's the 4th and 5th and 6th characters. For instance, I have a USDM 92 Sedan, so I have an EG8.

 

it is in the vin number. like my eg coupe says ej1. thats correct. i do have an ej1... dont make things harder then they are please. its just a honda
