Hello guys, I'm new here and am concidering purchasing my first Honda. I am currently looking at a '98 with a manual trans. I want the sportiest engine for this year. Can one of you experts here let me know if the engine listed in the VIN code is the sportiest one:

1HGEJ814XWL083304

Thanks in advance.

P.S. What is the expected HP ? I heard it should be around 127?

 

1998 HONDA CIVIC EX
Body Style: Coupe
Engine Type: 1.6L L4 PFI VTEC 16V

6th Generation ’96-’00 Civic EX USA EJ
Engine Type- D16Y8
Displacement- 1590
Compression ratio- 9.6:1
Horsepower/Torque- 127hp@6600/107lb-ft@5500


Oh yeah, this is the sporty one. I vote for you to get it.

 

Hey thanks Street Sniper! OH yeah baby that's what I wanted to hear! Man I want this one. Only one thing.. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and wont be back to make a offer until Wed [:@]


Dang I hope they still have it, if so its mine! [8D]

Wish me luck fellas and wish you all a safe and fun 4th !

P.S. - I'll be back on line next friday, hopefully with good news of new ownership of my first Honda!

 

Dude, get on the horn and make an initial bid to at least let them know you are interested. Maybe they'll hold it for you.

 

Well I got back in town from vacation this past Tues the 5th. They sold the car on the 4th [:@]. I'll keep looking! But I will hold out for a EX model with the VTEC!

 

Or look for a SiR model......they have 160HP.
