The check digit is a way to determine if a vin is invalid or faked. it will always be 0-9 or sometimes X. It's determined by a mathematical formula involving the rest of the VIN
Year 2002
Takanezawa Plant, Tochigi, Japan
Number 6,315 for that model year (i believe they only made about 9000 total in 2002)
The paint color is NOT listed on honda vin's

do you have a source to back up that information? I'm talking about the entire car being built in japan, not just some of the parts.

Rep Power: 320 doesn't it say where the cars made and how much is american and how much is japanese on the sticker? The sticker on my car said that the engine was from japan, the tranny was from america and the car was assembled in ohio. Thought it was federal law to state where cars are assembled and where the parts are from. Maybe its just a california law then.

. last time ive looked at the 04s at the dealership, trannys were from japan, engine from the US and final assembly point in ohio. my civic, 02 sedan, had both tranny and engine from the us, and other random parts from japan, , like the radiator, final assembly point in canada.

I assume that these plants also export the cars they assembly since their vin numbers reflect the country of origin as japan. Also some of the links also reflect that Japan solely produces that model.
