Question
i have a japanese built 93 civic     i have the opportunity to pick up a U S built 95 civic for parts     do you think a majority of the parts are interchangable ?

Answer
    The mechanical parts might interchange, but I doubt if any of the body parts would.  Honda made no special effort to standardize parts between their American plants and their Japanese plants.  Normally the same car was not built at both locations, even though they might use the same name.  There are also European built Hondas but they are never sold in North America.
