Where were our 3g's made?

[Silver86LX]

The other day I was just thinking to myself "where was my car made?". I know that almost all new Honda's are made in North America, but what about the older ones? This may be a stupid question but does anyone know the answer?

[carotman]

My 3g was made at the Sayama plant.... it's not a crappy US car

Seriously, I have an 89 DX and an 89 SE-i as a parts car... the SE-i was US made and the welds aren't the same... they are chunky and ugly on the SE-i.

[MrBen]

Mine is an 86 Sedan DX made in Japan.

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Mine was built in Japan

To tell where yours was made, if your VIN begins with JHM then it was made in Japan, and if it's 1HG then it was made in Ohio. Or if you have a coupe or any SE-i, then it was made in Ohio.

[blazin3gen]

didnt i hear something about if your gas gauge and temp gauge are inward it was made in the US, and if it was outward it was made in japan?

[1989 DX R]

Mine was made probably around the same time/place as Carot's.

You can look on that little plate in your doorjamb to see the exact month it was made. Mine was made in June 1989

[Silver86LX]

So my car was made in Japan then. My VIN number starts with JHM.

[netfreak]

Japan for mine as well.

[carotman]

Mine was august 88 (as an 89 model)

[od2681]

My vin starts with JHM so its made in Japan...yay...anyways i just noticed that my gauges were made by Denso...

[AccordEpicenter]

i hear all the coupes were made in japan, as well as the hb's and that the gauges dont indicate country of origin

[iamvandemon]

i have one from both countries. the controles on the collum (turn lights etc) are different as well as the cluster

Actually all coupes were made in Ohio. The whole coupe idea was that of Honda of America Manufacturing. Some of them were even exported back to Japan from the US, and Honda was the first ever Japanase auto maker to do this. For the needles, origin had nothing to do with it. All 86 had outward pointing needles, and all 87-89 had inward pointing needles.

mine's from right down the road in Marysville, OH

AND I'M DAMN PROUD OF IT...(in response to all the whiny ignorant ricers)
