When Honda people call cars by their chassis codes they generally use the Japanese-market chassis codes for whatever reason.

No US-market '88-'91 Civics actually had an EF chassis code.

 

o ok thank you for clearing that up for me, but i also have one more question. i see people saying they have an ef8 or an ef9 whats with the number?

 

Short answer: Don't pay any attention to those idiots.

Long answer: They probably went to the trouble to look up the chassis code in Japan for whatever motor swap they have.

The number could indicate an engine, trim package, or bodystyle. You've got a number after ED, too.

 

o ok so they just put the number after the chassis letters

 

Yep.

 

ite cool thanks dave
