I was just curious if anyone knows the difference between a Civic thats Honda of America and ones that Honda of Canada?

 

mph vs kmph
DRL
may be smth else, but those are things that came to mind first

 

I know some of the model designations are different. I drive a Canadian EX (97) but the owners manual says that its the same as an American DX. Other then that (and the above stated MPH/KPH) I don't know

 

easiest way to check the validity of that is to check your engine code...

DX for those years will be a D16Y7... EX (american) will be D16Y8

also check your vin number..

1H means made in america

JH means made in japan... not sure what canada's identifier is

 

if it starts with a 2 then it is from canada.

and the EX in Canada is only on Sedans, our Ex coupe is the Si, and our Si is the SiR

the Cx,Dx,Lx are all the same for both US/ Canada

 

and you go incredibly fast in the canadien models...(Sweet memories of Roto driving a canadien Teggy thinking that speedo was in MPH)

 

i can hear* (even) it now...


"holy **** man we're going 180!?!?!?! I wonder what's in this thing?!?!?"

"uhh... that's in kilometers........"


"........ **** you"

 

if it's covered in snow, it's from canada.

if it's covered in mud, it's from america...

 

they already have the crappy molding shaved already! Youll see my ride in the pic missing these before mentioned molding

^ i am confused by that post?... are you saying that the US cars dont have the molding, or the canadian ones? cause if you are saying the Canadian ones dont have molding.. then sorry your wrong... and if you saying just the Us ones don't have molding... then sorry wrong again
