1995 EK3 .... yeah, That's RIGHT!

I just saw one of those climate controls for the first time the other day, not sure where, ebay maybe

 

[Silver-Shooter]

so does that mean that what we are seeing is equal to a usdm 96-98 and in which case will the climate controls swap?

im not sure about the climate control... never seen that one before. it looks a lot more like the 99-00 climate control though so i doubt it.

Well, my little EK3 is younger than that


The car you posted has

001812

Whereas mine has

015809

Mine was manufactured in 10/95 if I remember correctly ... that would put this particular Ek3 around 8/10 I'd say.

So this site just exports the car... you still have to licence everything im guessing?

Im guessing like shifitng adjustment like they had on the early model ford probes... adjusts the style of shifting... hell i dont know?

No, it's the first run of the 1996's. It was produced in October of 1995. So it's a 1995 1/2 .... kinda like the jettas, how there were MKIII's and MKIV's in 99.

That still makes it a full fledged 1996, that's how car companies release their new vehicles.

 

[Spencey]

in japan the cars are always launched before they come here. the first model year for the newest civics was 00 not 01 like it is here.

They don't directly use the date of manufacture as the year of the car. It's just part of the first production runs of the 1996 year model Civics. Car companies have been doing this for years everywhere.

The knob by the shifter has something to do with the car's CVT.

this thread has me all confused. so japan's 6g's started in 1995?

they are always one year ahead of us, pretty much.

 

[anfrey]

here is what's confusing most ppl... the way car model years are determined.

IN THE UNITED STATES, model years are weird. they are done by production run and spesc. a car MADE and RELEASED in 1995 wil be a 1996 model.

IN JAPAN and MOST OTHER COUNTRIES, it is by fiscal tax year. it depends on when you purchase a vehicle. when i got the xsara back in chile, it was in sept 2002 right after the fiscal year ended... so my car was titled as a 2003 model.

 

[chartinael]

yep, that's how it is ... my car was produced in 95 and first registered on 26th Jan 96 ... it is a 96 model but it still would have been a 96 model even if it had been bought in october 95 ...

[anfrey]

if i would've registered the xsara a month before i did, it would've been a 2002 model rather than a 2003

 

[DvS Civic]

that is weird
