Difference between Base and SH 5th Gen? - Honda Prelude Forum

What's the difference in the VIN between base model and SH model 5th gen preludes?

I know for the 4th gen there's BB1 and BB2 and maybe something else.

We're all BB6's but I can't tell you what letters are changed after that.

there's also bb5(xi, si), bb7(Si-4ws) bb8(SiR-4ws, VTi-4ws) and bb9(2.0L)

wouldn't all SH 5th gens have the same 8 digits for the vin, then?

i.e JHMBB615, and base models would be JHMBB614/JHMBB624 based on the transmission?
