Ok i dont see forums that specify EX's is it called something else or do people not use EX's for racing?! i dont get it cuz thats the car i have?

 

Year: 1998
Make: Honda
Model: Civic
Trim: EX

Welcome to the Honda-tech.com Honda Civic/Del Sol (1992 - 2000) forums. Please enjoy your stay and use the search function.

 

This is the funniest thread ever!! lol lol lol!!

 

there's a 92-95 also. Had a 1.6 liter sohc.

 

?? there's a 88-91 also. Oh..and a 01-present.

It's the world's most common car.

 

wtf man

 

The civic came in many flavors (EX,DX,LX,SI,VX,HX)(coupe, hatchback and sedan) EX is just a model in the civic family. Welcome to H-T and the search function is your friend.

 

Wow.. That is all that I can say!

I had to make this my sig

 

You have a civic. The EX is just a trim.

 

it can also be referred to EJ8 of thats what you mean

 

This pretty much sums it up.

 

Another thing, you don't see many people racing EX's because they're heavy. More options = more weight. Most people race hatchbacks and the other base models.

Welcome to HT, in a few years you can come back and laugh at this thread

 

I have an EX, and its built. Its only about ~200LB's heavier, but is definitely worth the difference, to have the features.

 

tru dat

 

Ex for the 92-95 gen is the eh9. I have one myself but it's in shambles, getting to be more of a pain than it's worth

 

^ no its ej1

 

correction 92-95, EG/EH/EJ

 

no ****...

a 93-95 coupe IS an ej1...

 

Uh, you're both right.

USDM 5th Gen EX 4DR Sedan = EH9
USDM 5th Gen EX 2DR Coupe = EJ1

 

yea, i thought we were all talkin about coupes though, thats why i mentioned it...

 

There is no forum specifially for the EX or any other trim level.

EG, EK, etc are NOT trim levels. They are chassis codes. They are not the same as thing as the name "EX".

CHASSIS CODES

EG, EK, etc are all supposed to be a part of the chassis code, which can be found in the VIN of your car. Yours is an EJ8. If you look at your VIN this is the fourth, fifth and sixth digits.

EG is used to refer to a '92-'95 Civic. In actuality EGs are only certain body and engine combinations, and not all 5th generation ('92-'95) Civics.

EK is used to refer to a '96-'00 Civic. In actuality EGs are only certain body and engine combinations, and not all 6th generation ('96-'00) Civics. There weren't ever real EK chassis cars sold in the US (only EJ, EM and EN for this generation).

You can find more information about chassis codes on this site. There is a thread listing them in Tech/Misc.

TRIM LEVELS

EX is a trim level. Other trim levels include CX, DX, GX, LX, Si, SE, VP, DX-V and VX.

An EX (in the US) for '96-'00 is a coupe or sedan with a 1.6L SOHC VTEC engine (D16Y8).

There is a thread that goes over the differences of trim levels in this section too.

So your EX is also called an "EK" by some people but it's actually an EJ8.

Hope that helps explain things.

 

I agree with that, that's why I roll around in an Si hatch. I love my sunroof

 

LOL this is pretty funny i love that it turned into a chassis code discussion.

welcome to H-T! you are deffinelty going to look back at this and laugh though

 

I figured he mixed up EX as being a chassis code like EG or EK. I've seen it happen before.

 

yea the sunroof is awesome
