When people refer to something being OEM. It means its genuine honda parts (If referring to a honda). When you walk into a spare parts store of a honda dealership.. most the parts there are OEM.

Other terms you may here are JDM / USDM / AUDM / UKDM etc
They are similar to OEM.. The DM stands for Domestic Market, whilst the beginning is the country of its origin..
i.e. JDM OEM Headlights would mean that the headlights are genuine honda parts and that they come from Japan.

There are way too many chassis codes that it takes a while to remember them all, you will pick up alot of them once you read over alot of honda info.. Dont stress too much.

You own an EK1 (as mentioned before, all oz delivered EK's are this apart from the EK4 and coupes), so that is easy to remember.
EK9 = JDM only, cant get here in Oz.. It is also known as a CTR (Civic Type-R). Awsome car with many extras including a B16B engine.
EK4 = next best thing as CTR is not available here (well it is very rare anyways).
EM1 = Same as EK4 pretty much but in a coupe
EJ8 = Similar to your car but in a coupe.

There are many, many chassis codes...
EG, EK, DC, EF, ED, EM, EJ, AP, BB, DA, EP and many more, within those codes come different numbers to represent different models aswell...
i.e. DC2 = 94-00 integra, DC5 = 01+ integra

So dont feel embarrassed to ask what these names/codes are.. i doubt there are many people, if any! that would know all the honda chassis codes.
