ok, when i first bought my hb people told me it was a std. it has the vynil seats, no extra console and there isn't holes where a dx emblem would be on the back. When i got it, it came with a d15b2 and a 5 spd tranny. i *think* the d15b2 is the std engine but i'm not sure. i no longer have this setup in the car but i might sell the tranny if it's an si. tia

 

The STD is supposed to come with a D15B1 and a 4-speed manual transmission.

The D15B2 was the DX engine. The DX came with a 5-speed manual transmission which was geared longer than the Si transmission.

 

ok so i'm leaning more towards my hb being a dx. but i have the vynil seats and ish, with no console. is there any ways to tell what model it is by the vin???

 

sounds like you have a std w/ a dx engine-tranny swap

std = vynil seats and no rear wiper

as far as the tranny being a dx or si/ex, search is your friend....

well i did search and saw that but it didn't help much. mine says pl2 xxxx or something like that i believe. its not at my house right now so i'm not sure. but i'm almost 100% positive it starts with pl2

 

If it's a five speed with a D15B2, it's most likely a DX trans. I have the same car... std interior, DX engine/tranny.

 

here's the vin identification codes:
Example:
JHMED634K

JHM(Japan/Honda/Built in Japan)
ED6(Civic Hatchback 1.5L)
3(2 door hatchback, manual)
4(std)
K(1989)

ahh forget it! look it up.
