positions 4, 5, 6 of the vin number indicate the designation of the chassis. depending on the year the chassis designations meant the trim level and configurations. for example in the 6th gen the EJ means coupe and sedan... dunno what the hatches are, but they are NOT EK. EK is only a Asian thing and possibly Europe too.

here are some:

EG2/3 = JDM and USDM Del Sol

EG4/6 = JDM VTi hatch/ JDM SiRII hatch

EG8/9 = JDM VTi Ferio/USDM DX/LX 9=/JDM SiR Ferio


EH3 = ALL USDM 92-95 hatch

EH9 = ALL USDM 92-95 EX sedan

EJ1 = ALL USDM 92-95 coupes

jdmfan.com has a complete listing, but their site has moved to another URL and it's not up yet
