Thanks man. had it forever and a day too. Front tag is gone now so i think it looks a bit better and the wheels need repainted

apparently you dont get the big picture.

Technically, an EJ isnt an EK. So yeah, you guys are right.

But what I think that mr.koupe is getting at is that the idea and design behind the American Civic chassis is directly based off of the Japanese spec EK's. So although they are not the same, they share some of the same genes, so to speak. So in my eyes, that is the big idea.

I think too many people get up tight about this, and yeah, theyre right, but I dont really think its something worth arguing about.lol

A B C D E F G H I J K L M...

ED
EE
EF
EG
EH
EJ
EK
EM
EP
ES

Notice the trend? J is before K so the EJ isn't exactly based on the EK.

EJ & EK is the chassis designations for all models of the 96-00 Civics in Japan. EG (Del Sol), EJ (Civic), & EM (Civic SI) are the chassis designations for ALL Canadian and US 96-00 Civics. So the big picture is for over 10 years people have thought EJ's were coupes/sedans and EK's were hatchbacks but for over 10 years nearly every Honda tuner has been wrong. There has never ever ever ever been an EK sold [new] in the United States and there are no federally legal EK's here, only those brought over and bonded on a temporary visa.


*EDIT*
What's funny is the EK in Japan is not just the hatchback, there are 6 models of 4 door Civics in Japan that are EK's too. So where did America get the idea that the hatches are EK's?! lol!

Because the EK4/EK9 is undoubtedly the most well known "performance" civic, that happens to be a hatch. Its understandable that people refer to cars that look nearly identical to a true EK9 or EK4 as simply an "EK", even though technically it isnt.

That goes for the four doors too. Ive seen people refer to them as "EK sedans", when yet again, technically its wrong if the person is talking about a US spec Civic... but still, the two different models share many of the same essential designs and ideas. Thats all Im getting at.

I like your civic.



Do you see what I did there? Your Integra has 4 wheels....and so does my Civic. Same thing.

I see what you mean, but I think youre looking at it in too broad of a sense. You might as well have said, "I like your go-cart". I mean, a go-cart has four wheels too.


VS.


They are obviously way different. But,


VS.


One of them is a true EK9 and the other is a mere EJ6. Its easy to tell that they have a little in common. No, they are not the same, but you cant argue against the fact that they have the same blood. Thats all Im saying.

Do you call G35's Skylines? Do you call GTO's a Monaro or Lumina SS? Do you call a 4-runner a Hilux Surf? They're all the "same" right? The point is a EJ6 is not a EK4/9 so why do people insist on calling a car something it's not?

I can't help the ignorance of the majority of Honda fans about their own vehicles lol! I try to prevent it but as usual stupidity prevails.
