Sport injected.

It denotes the S model of the early 80's civics.....the Si added fuel injection.....hence the I.

This sounds like it could be right, or it sounds like it could be a very good bs answer. (jk....i know it's right)

I saw one answer that I thought was funny in my google search: Si stands for "Special Ingredients"

Si = "yes" in Spanish
Si = Steal It
Si = Sequential Injection

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by wikipedia &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The Honda Civic Si (or SiR in Canada) is a sport compact / hot hatch version of the compact car Honda Civic built by the Japanese automaker Honda. The Si designation, which stands for "Sport Injected", was formerly used in both Japan and North America signifying the most powerful Civic available in market. For the Japanese and European markets, however, the Civic Type R has been adopted as the high-performance variant of the Civic, from 1997 (starting with the EK9 hatch) in Japan and from 2001 (starting with the EP3 hatch) in Europe. In Canada the model known as the Si is equivalent to the EX model in the US market.

Yes Sport injected

Sports Injection. That is what the original meaning was when it came out on the 85 Prelude Si and 85 CRX Si. All the other Preludes and CRXs were carbureted, so Si denoted injection.

I believe there was a Civic S model--82 & 83--which had some sporty features (blacked out trim, better seats, possibly stiffer suspension?) but no fuel injection.
