why does everyone label their cars as EFs? when in fact most arn't? seems kinda ricey to me? can someone clarify this?

 

the board should be named CRX / ED CIVIC

but i'm stupid

 

or back to the good ol' 4th gen?

 

ED USDM
EF JDM

same car slight modification
does it matter THAT much?

delsols are EJ?

 

i second that...
or 4th gen i guesss

 

it should be called

"Honda's Whitetrash Car"...

 

blah, getting all butthurt over a chassis code...call your civic wagon what you want to call it

 

i'll second that one.

exactly what i mean...my wagon is EE4 or something....now if i put an EF sticker on it, it would be the same as putting a type r sticker on it, both are false statements. you make fun of rice and promote it at the same time, almost as corupt as the government.

how about rusted quarter panels board.

 

thank you sir

 

I call it wagovan!....lol

 

keep making fun of the wagon i like it.

 

yes we all know the wagon rocks and is the best car ever, but i am biased. Its good grounds for a sleeper...and no one has it, because no one wants it, so not too much trouble with people asking, "do you race your wagon"

 

maybe the term EF has been selected here since the car its a Jappanese made car in wich in real deal its trully a EF chassis code.... US didnt make the car or designed it or fabricated.... wich means its not a USDM concept ,, its a JDM concept.. wich means that US cant have the same chassis code bc it cant have the same thing japan does... its like having a Ford on japan and they changed it to Forud... doesnt matter what people call it.... its a EF car... bc it was designed to be a EF car.... just leave it alone.... maybe theres already a chassis code over here with EF... if they stick with one chassis code then they need more number in the VIN....

 

im not making fun, i used to have a (86 or 87 cant really remember)wagovan, it was accualy my first car, it was never going to die either, by the time i had to get rid of it (******* deer!) it had around 600,000km's on it.

 

the two chassis are differnt due to the problem that we drive on the other side of the road and car compaired to most other countries. so its 2 diff. chassis styles...JDM concept, yet made for US soil. i think thats fair...but i think everyone should reconsider what they (people sporting the EF badges) make fun of next time.

 

Who the hell cares? Its just a chassis code.

 

sweden 88-91 civics are LHD and on germany they drive opposite roads.... and still same chassis.. same cars.... i dont tink its bc of waht side of road u drive....

 

well im one happy owner of an EF and im sticking with it

 

Well I live over in the UK & I have a real imported JDM SiR so I'm happy with it in a way but it does get confusing when ppl say abt a motor swap from a sohc to a b16a in a EF8! Also Euro vtecs were EE8's not EF8's.

whats the big deal....EVERYONE knows that when you mention the term EF, it relates to a 4G civic.....stop being such a cry baby!!!
does it offend you in some odd way? i hope not...

 

Actually if you look up information on how to read the VIN# you would find out that the "ED" or "EF" only defines the engine to that specific car.

4th Thru 6th POSITION
CAR LINE I ENGINE USDM
BA4 = Prelude, 2.0/2.1L
BA8 = Prelude, 2.2L
BB1 = Prelude VTEC, 2.2L
BB2 = Prelude, 2.3L
CB7 = Accord, 2.2L
CB9 = AccordWagon, 2.2L
ED3 = Civic4 Door, 1.5L
ED4 = Civic 4 Door, 1.6L
ED6 = Civic 3 Door, 1.5L
ED7 = Civic3 Door, 1.6L
ED8 = CRX, 1.5L
ED9 = CRX, 1.6L
EE2 = Civic Wagon, 1.5L
EE4 = Civic Wagon, 1.6L
EGI = Civic del Sol, 1.5L
EGG = Civic 4 Door, 1.5L
EH2 = Civic 3 Door, 1~5L
EH3 = Civic 3 Door, 1.6L
EH6 = Civic del So, 1.6L
EH9 = Civic 4 Door, 1.6L
EJI = Civic2 Door, 1.6L
EJ2 = Civic2 Door, 1.5L

Since I have a ZC mine is techniquely a EF7. If you have a B16 then your engine code is EF8.

 

what if u have a Z6??

 

Z6 never came in these cars.... So maybe you can call it an.... Erm.... EF6 lol

 

I called it 4th Gen hatch..
