What is my 99 civic sedan considered to be???

[Spyro]

I have a 1999 Civic EX and I've always considered my car to be an EK9.
My issue is that i just saw that my car is an EM1?????????? And it's definitely not an EJ or EK4

What would my car be

 

[lowlife9]

take a look at your VIN number see anything interesting ???

 

[LowNotSlow]

It's an EJ8.

hurrdurr

 

[Ej8Kid]

Lol! It definitely is a EJ

 

[Raabe]

It's an EJ8.

hurrdurr

this

EK9 ^^^^

Spyro ^^


i see a CLEAR difference here, if i may say so.














I kid I kid. ej8 champ, check your vin

 

[Spyro]

But the way I see things, the EJ's are like 96 to 98 with dat weired looking side markers, EM1's and EK's have the 99-2000 front end which is what I have.

 

[R3dline]

a 99-00 civic non si is a ej8 also, so thats a false statment

 

[Spyro]

so could i still consider it an ek?

 

[Lopez619]

NO EJ8 homie.

 

[253eg]

How about you call it a Civic?

 

[R3dline]

ok, here we go,

your car is not a ek

your car is a ej8

 

[wannabe]

when looking at all those WAY COOL HERRA JDM parts stores online, you would need to buy parts for an EK chassis. that is the single solitary time you are allowed to come anywhere close to thinking that your car is an EK. after you pay out the ass for overpriced stock equipment and close the browser window. you are bound by CC.com law to return to calling your car what it is; an EJ8.

EK9

ej8

see the differnce?

 

[Hecz]

so could i still consider it an ek?

You can consider your car to be whatever your heart desires.

check your vin

yup, just like this man said,

Your chassis code can be found in the vin(vehicle identification number, which is found in several places on the car, but most commonly found wedge between the windshield and dashboard ) .

EK2 - D13B / FF HB
EK3 - D13B / FF HB
EK4 - B16A / FF HB
EK5 - ZC or D16A / 4WD 4Door
EK8 - ZC or D16A / FF 4Door
EK9 - B16B / FF HB

EK9

ej8

see the differnce?

Okay, but my front looks like this

I just checked my VIN and it has EJ8 on it, but surprises the hell out of me since it looks like a damn EK

 

[Spyro]

My VIN says EJ8.... okay, so what the hell is the 2000 civic hatch type-r then? So isn't it an EJ8 too?

Go read. Take special note of what country the car is sold in.

Biggest difference is that all EK chassis cars are RIGHT HAND DRIVE.

 

[Spyro]

i'm more concerned about the body rather than the actual specs, but thinking of putting a k20 Type-R in it

Hmmmmmm, just so you know there are no EKs in the U.S. We just use the name as slang.
