Finding the build date?

[Hirst]

Any idea how I can get the build date on my Accord? Maybe from the VIN?

Need to find out so I can order the correct exhaust as I'm 1981 - a crossover year for the exhausts!

do you have a sticker in your drivers door ether on the door or in the door way with the vin# on it?

Seatbelt build date is in the lower part of the belt, stamped in a white cloth, you can see an aproximate date of build.

I think if its from the first six months of the year stamped it is from that year but if its from 7-12 then its the next year right?

Well, the seatbelts are made earlier and sent to the assembly plant to be fitted to the car, i think that the difference between the seatbelt date, and the build date, should be of only a few months.

My 2nd gen has the build date stamped on the drivers door VIN tag.
