Checking car type

[rawr]

Would i be able to check what the exact car is by checking the vin number of the engine as i want to check if this car is legit or not...
if so where would i check it


also would the vin number of a base model dc5 be the same as as a dc5r like the first couple letters?

[SiReal]

usually, to see what model it is, you look at the first two letters and the number following that..

so it might be JHMDEK1....

hence the car is an EK1 - SOHC non vtec. that kinda thing.

edit: thanks rawr ;)

starts with JHMD...

JHMDC5***********

17digits for the VIN number

base dc5 = JHMDC533********* whatver more * there are
DC5R = JHMDC539********* blah blah blah same as above

unfortunately didnt get to look at those 2 numbers that were important BAHH! haha

VIN number should be location at the back of your engine bay.... get that number n match it up wif ur rego sticker n service book(not sure if it tells u or not)
