Honda Chassis Codes - JDM

Can anyone tell me what the chassis code is for a 2000 jdm 4dr civic and if the front bumper is the exact same as a 2000 usdm 4dr civic.

thanks
Darren

no clue about the chassis code, but i believe most jdm civics come with front lips, while some usdm civics dont

If this is what you are talking about...

Then Honda lists it as the E-EK4.

My guess is that the noses are interchangable, but I'm only guessing.

Setanta thats a 1996-1998 civic, the 1999-2000 is facelifted

EK4 is a civic hatchback with a b16a (SiR i think) i could be wrong??

so in another world i don't know???

Ummm... I took it off Honda's site, along with the chassis designation. Somehow I don't think that Honda got the chassis code wrong :flipa:

Different models for the 4 door actually - Si and Si II are listed as EK4s.

Vi, Mi, ML = E-EK3
EL = E-EK2
Si II and Si = E-EK4
RTi = E-EK5

All are listed as 1995 onwards. Facelifts don't usually change the chassis codes as I recollect :)

Data from here:

the strange thing is that the B16a hatchback has the same code Ek4??? so i don't know whats going on, the EG model is different when a B16a hatchback is a EG6 and a B16a Sedan is a EG9

The only thing I can think is that the Si and Si II both carry a B16 (too lazy to check :) ). Maybe they have a similar front end to the coupe as in mounting points compared to the other motors? Not that I really care - EF9 rules :smoker2:

hahahaha you mean EG6 or EK1 :D

No - I mean the real SiR :finger:

sorry 00'Civic SR for messing up your thread

EG6 Rocks!!!!! :D :D :D

I think he got all the answer he was ever going to get :)

EG6 rocks... from the displacement of air around an EF9 as the EF9 blows past it :silly2:

I thought the 1999 - 2000 model, had a different rear, but the front was the same?

The rear having the flat back end, similar to the accord, with similar tail lights.

Thanks everyone ;) I had completely forgotten about this thread (well it was 14 days before I got a reply :D)

Too tell you the truth I'm kinda confused about chassis codes. My car is a 2000 4dr Civic manufactured in Japan. It's chassis code is EJ9. A hatchback from '98 has the same code.

I got the information I needed anyway.

thanks again

Evil and Setanta having a battle of civics huh?

You should race my sister in her B16a, and see who wins ;)

Depends what mods she's had done to the engine :D

hey 00'Civic SR do you have any pictures of your car??

Spunkymonkey, what model SiR does your Sister have?? EF, EG, EK???

We didn't get SiRs here - I think it's a VTiR w B16A. Q?

did you know that VTi-R has less HP than SiR ................. have a SiR :D :D

Our VTiRs had 160bhp, same as the USDM Si Coupe (also called a VTiR here).

That's the same as the original EF9 SiR... they had to bump the bhp up to 170 in the EG SiR for all the lardarses that bought them :finger:

So's mine (as you know :) ). I'd be interested to see what sort of difference there is... other than mine being more of a fuel guzzler :)

Yours is probably a bit lighter, so I'd say they'd be evenly matched.

i have a LSD :flipa:

I hate you :D

Dammit - I should have picked up the Quaife LSD when I had the opportunity.

i want another LSD, need one for my EK, they are so expenise, i got price for just the LSD unit $2000 :eek: :eek:

Yeah, the Quaife was going for Au$1000... I just couldn't justify it. I really want to find a SiR box with one in it though. Not so easy unfortunately - I've only seen a EF8 front cut with the LSD box.

Yep thats it. a 96 model VTIR with B16a.

a LSD box is so hard to find, and if you find one they go for tonnes

Here's a pic. The car goes into the shop on March 25th for some work. I'll post updated pics after it's finished.

Normally I don't like 4 door cars, but damn that looks nice :)

evil_elmo: only time I've seen a LSD box, they wouldn't split it from the EF8 front-cut :(

very nice 00'Civic SR, i love the red/clears, what is getting done to it at the shop??

Getting the tsunami T2000 bodykit put on and the rear door handles are being shaved. Still thinking about getting the rear boot shaved as well. Have to think about it a bit more.

Thanks for the compliment :)
