    I have recently inported a Prelude from HK, but it was origonally registered
    in Japan. I'm having trouble with insurance as they need to know the exact
    model and engine size. Who could tell me from the chassis number?

    Your insurance company should be able to tell which model/engine
    size/trim level from the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The VIN
    is stamped on the engine, on the dash by the windshield (windscreen),
    and many other places in your car. The VIN number is broken down in
    the Honda service manual, perhaps your local Honda dealer can help you
    decode it. The service manuals are usually region specific so they
    may not be able to tell you about Japanese models. As a last resort,
    you may have to call/write Honda Japan directly to find out.

    About the engine size, you should be able to read the engine code
    engraved on the engine block. It is usually in plane view. The 5th
    Gen VTEC engines reads H22A4 for the 2.2l VTEC.

    Its a bit more complicated than that the local dealer has no records of
    imports, also the insurance company can only find engine sizes 2156cc and
    2157cc for imported preludes and as my Registration Document states that it
    is a 2150cc then they wont insure me. All is not lost though as after
    reading your post, searched on my engine code F22b, seems that it most
    definitely is a 2156cc model, the Registration document being a misprint.

    .. . . . .Thanks.
