Default Newbie Questions....

So I know nothing about Hondas, I'm a V-Dubber through and through, I joined this forum to learn more about Honda...Most of the Honda people in my area are concerned about how they can make thier car light up like a Christmas tree...anyway what is EG? EK? And the different letter designations?...thanks in advance, I hope I'll enjoy my time here

They usually designate the generations of Civics

ef - 88-91 - 4th gen
eg - 92-95 - 5th gen
ek - 96-00 - 6th gen

I believe that those are the JDm chassis codes. I don't want to post the USDM codes because I will probably put them in the wrong order. Welcome to H-T.

Those letters are for the Japanese chassis, but it's easier to just say any 92-95 Civic is an EG.

To get technical, just look at the VIN plate and it will tell you...

92-95 hatches are EH_, Si is EH3, DX, VX, and CX are EH2....it gets too complicated to say, Check out my EJ8, or my EM1, or my EH3, EF8, DC2, etc etc.....it sounds technical and makes us feel smart.

Kinda like saying MK1 or 2, etc....E36, E30, E46, blah blah
