Em2??
Just curious, our cars are reffered to as EM2's right? I got an 04, and was shoppin around at truehonda.com. We are EM2's right? right?
(what does em2 stand for?)

yeah ... why are we em2's ... I never really understood that either. 99-00 Si is the EM1 ... which is totally different ... while the 96-00 non Si are the EK ... which are very similar to the EM1

Wanna REALLY scratch your head? The 1.7EL is based on the 2001+ Civic sedan platform, and has the same code (ES) but the 1.6EL, based on and sharing a majority of its parts with the 96-00 Civic platform (EK, EJ...confusing enough), gets chassis code MB.

Rep Power: 369 RSX is heavier stock for stock than the EM/ES if I recall. Thus a DC5-R weighing as much as the ES would be in keeping with Honda's TypeR tradition of stripping off weight and upping the horsepower.

Rep Power: 305 Why couldn't we all live in a world where everyone got a DC5 chassis in their civic coupe. There was someone on the forum that said they used lighter materials and double welded the joints on the DC5.

Rep Power: 331 em2 is chassis code in your VIN number. its the 3rd, 4th and 5th letter on every 01-05 coupe VIN.
Nindoo - Unfortunately, honda uses the same grade steel for their honda and acura lines. and double welds? highly unlikely.
