Ok, i got some weird info!
According to my vin# and that site my 98 civic cx 3 dr 5 speed--- is really a Canadian built 99 civic cx 3 dr 5 speed. And you know what, that would explain alot...lol

Hey thanks!! That's pretty cool. My sol is the 3170th made ( don't know if that's total for the year, or all together.)

Hey cool! Mines actually from Ohio...that explains the 1/4 panel rust.

According to that, mine is from Japan, paint and all. Pretty cool.

Haha, it says that mine is a 98 even though its a 97... at least it's not from Canada! Gotta love our neighbors to the north though... sometimes they know what they are talking aboot... sometimes. Cool site by the way.

Canadian built is better than USA built!!
JK, but there shouldnt be a difference, If anything, Canada's,I would imagine, factory is newer and better! And our models have extras that the US doesnt get.

Oh yah, 'aboot' is what I put on my feet! Jeez, you think you'd know that much EH!!

Back on topic, I wonder if the engine code has a similar system?? Because my b16 would be the 47th one made in 99.
