I would like to thank Amelia (aka Amy, aka NOFX, aka tqless) from www.clubcivic.com for allowing me to post this sticky to her Chassis Code list. It is one of, if not thee most extensive and precise list on the internet, so hopefully we can avoid all these "what is my car (eg, ek, ej, etc..)" questions.
One of the posts about CRX 87-88 is incorrect because they dont specify which kind and even if they did itd still be wrong because the CRX 1987 SI only has 108hp and the DX has 92hp and the HF 62hp.

i think a simpler way would be just to look at your vin number, i forgot where it was in the number, somewhere around the third digit or so, but you should be able to easily locate it once you see the E or whatever it is
my 1996 civic hatch dx clearly has ej6 listed in the vin number
Bought a new '05 civic coupe almost 2 years agonow, just when the '06 models were coming out. I don't know much about cars, but the dealer told me it was an SE - special edition, and thathaving thatdesignation only means it's last year's model. However, I'm trying to figure out if my car is a DX, LX, etc. and I have no idea how to go about that... or maybe I can't? Or don't need to?
Sorry to those of you who are Honda/car enthusiasts, I know this must be a painfully stupidquestion for you. As it turns out, I'm at this site because I'm interested in learning more about my vehicle and doing some work on it, so hopefully I'll have fewer such questions in the future...
I tried looking at my VIN, and it doesn't seem to tell me what I'm looking for, or I don't know how to look for it.

Perhaps I should add that I'm Canadian, and bought my Civic in Canada, in case that makes a difference to the designation.
go to the ecu tuning and management section and go to the free helm's manual thread. download the manual and it should tell you a lot of facts, canadian and american, at least it does for my car. it even tells you where the vin is and what each digit stands for
Thanks pearl. I didn't actually see my model there, but I have since found out (by looking at CIA kits online) that I have a DX/LX. Still not sure which, since all the addons for one seem to fit both, but if I recall correctly th DX was the VERY basic version, and the LX had a/c and keyless entry/remote lock/unlock, which I have. All that to say I have an LX, and you prolly don't care anyway lol. Thanks again for the reply
