This has been confusing me for quite some time and I can't seem to find anything in the forum about it. What do the EK, EJ, EM.... what do those all stand for and mean?

 

they're just a code name for the chassis or model of your car. they are terms commonly used in our society to refer to civics and many other cars. for example, most people refer to all 92 to 95 civics as eg and all 96 to 00 civics as ek. even though the model technically isn't eg or ek, people still call them that. another example, i have a 96 civic hatch, with the real chassis code as ej6, but people still refer to it as an ek9 because it is the sixth generation civic hatchback. i think there is a sticky on chassis code names on here that will tell you what your car is.
but as i have mentioned in several threads already, the easiest way to find your car is to look at your vin number.

read my explanation on the vin number in this thread

I figured it was something like that but was just making sure. Thanks for the info and the links

 

https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_321383/tm.htm You can also look at your vin number and it is part of it.

 

plain and simple:

ek: 6th gen hatch
ej: 5th or 6th gen coupe
em: 6th gen si

(generally speaking)

 

[sm=dontgetit.gif]Ek is only hatch?

 

the only tru EK is the Type R if i recall corectly.

 

EF is also truely a jdm 4th gen hatch.

 

several variates of the ek4 and ek9 as well

 

to make it simple, just look at the vin
