Which model is my Lude?

[Donald]

I've just found this... more area codes.

Annoyingly no Japan there though

[wurlycorner]

Maybe they're so JDM they didn't have to have a model number?

[Donald]

It probably would be sensible to assume that KJ is the Japan one?

Maybe a Japan model specific part number will include something to hint at the area code?

[Donald]

If this counts as confirmation... KJ is Japan.

...I will put this in a table and upload it as an image. Then perhaps it can be added to the Wiki.

Team effort guys!

[FrontBackSide2Side]

that messes me up even more because KJ isn't mentioned in the manual

im hoping the KU model which shows the same coloured wires in the same terminal positions in the 96 supplement uses the same loom and i can use those tests.

I will admit that the info I found is possibly not 100% accurate as certain countries are missing that I'm sure Hondas are sold in, and after all there are something like 200 countries in the world. Interesting to see countries like Suriname and Liberia appear there but no Denmark etc. The info is a mix of sources, some Prelude some Accord, but regardless they're all Honda and I doubt very much the area code will change between models.

Still, as of today this is the most complete list I've seen. Hopefully this will be a help to someone.

And by fluke I've discovered today how to categorically confirm what model yours is (beyond well educated guess work)...



Parts print from my local Honda dealer based on chassis number. At the top, after the model year

( Oh yeah, and there's confirmation of that "Dayno Blue" colour that my car is apparently painted in, too!!!)
