Can someone explain to me the model jargon i.e (ef ee ect.)
How do you know what you have? I've worked on Hondas for years but never heard of this till I went on some message boards.
Dumb Question??

Not all of them are EF5..

The JDM Shuttle comes as EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 and EF5.

Check here for an expanded meaning.

Also, a little chart i made up (only covers JDM models). Here is a quick rundown of what i know about JDM chassis codes...

EF1: Base model Civic (Hatch, Shuttle & Sedan). Comes with a 1.3L carbie'd D13B. Always FWD.
EF2: Most common model of Civic (Hatch, Shuttle and Sedan). Usually came with a 1.5L dual carbie'd D15B4. Always FWD.
EF3: Middle of the road (Hatch, Shuttle & Sedan). Came with either SOHC ZC or DOHC ZC. Always FWD. Optional A.L.B and L.S.D
EF4: Most common models with RT4WD (Shuttle & Sedan). Came with D15B4 dual carbie'd 1.5L. Always RT4WD.
EF5: Flagship RT4WD model (Shuttle & Sedan). Came with SOHC ZC. Always RT4WD. Optional A.L.B and L.S.D
EF6: Base model CRX. Came with D15B4 1.5L dual carbie. Always FWD.
EF7: Most common model of CRX. Came with DOHC ZC. Always FWD. Optional A.L.B and L.S.D
