Civic models

willyp407 · 05-12-2008, 04:26 PM

Hey everyone I'm new to this forum and new to civics. I don't have a civic i have a Chevy Colorado. But i am looking to trade/sell to get a civic si. I am not very familiar with the models and i just need someone to verify a couple things for me. I have seen post about FA5,ASM and others but I'm not quite sure what they are. I am looking in the direction of 8th gen civic si over my colorado for better mpg,comfort,etc, so tell me if im heading in the right direction. Thanks

Well, you've made it to this forum, so that's definitely a start in the right direction

The majority of all the acronyms can be found here:

If you're looking for better mpg as the highest factor, then an r18 (EX, LX, even DX if you want) trim would suit you better.

The suspension's more in the comfy side on the non-si models.

for acronyms:

anytime it includes a number ie FA5, FG2... it's a chassis designation

FA5 Si Sedan
FG2 Si Coupe
FA1 EX/LX/DX Sedan
FG1 EX/LX/DX Coupe
FN* Euro Hatchback
FN2 EDM Type R Hatch
FD1 JDM Sedan
FD2 JDM Type R Sedan

ASM, FBP, GGM, RR etc, are color designations

ASM = Alabaster Silver Metallic
ABM = Atomic Blue Metallic (EX/LX/DX Only)
RR = Rallye Red
FBP = Fiji Blue Pearl (Si Only)
HRP = Habanero Red Pearl (Si Only)
GGM = Galaxy Gray Metallic
NHBP (NBP) = Nighthawk Black Pearl
RBP = Royal Blue Pearl
TW = Taffeta White
BBM = Borrego Beige Metallic
TRP = Tango Red Pearl (Ex/LX/DX Only)
MP = Magnetic Pearl (Hybrid Only)
OSBM = Opal Silver Blue Metallic (Hybrid Only)

Engines

R18 = 1.8L SOHC i-VTEC in the EX/LX/DX
K20 = 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC in the Si
