Kinda bummed that my car wasn't made in Japan. Always believed that vehicles made in Japan are held up to higher standards but oh wells.

thats pretty neat, but why does yours say you have 104 horsepower and mine says 113 horsepower, we both drive ej8s with the same engine

my hp is wrong

I'm supporting the American work force w/ all 3 of my vehicles!....lol

thats pretty cool, i didnt know the vin told that much

Mine says 118 too...and the difference is the year of the car his says 104 because it is a 96

I thought the d16y8 was 127 hp?

Cool find

I though it was 127 too! guess they adjust for wear and tear and loss of compression over the years.
