Dude, are you [freak]ing serious? For someone who has 2000+ posts.. I'm dissapointed, tsk tsk tsk. Just say the letter "S" and then the letter "I", got it pal?

Is that Denis Leary? Horrible actor.

Yeah, I'm serious... sorta!

I was just up at the gas station.

Some dude had a new 2008 Si, so we popped hoods and compared motors - his 2008 Si and my 1998 Si.

He pronounced "Si" some weird way I've never heard, so i thought maybe I've been saying it wrong all these years...

Um... Maybe I should explain that!

I run a slammed 1998 HX with a 1999 Si swap.

LoL!

This is getting confusing already...

No, it's not confusing.

It's pronounced "S" "I". How did he pronounce it?

And you drive a 1998 HX with a B16A2, not a 1998 Si. Never was, never will be.

Did you leave yourself logged in somewhere and someone else post under your account?

Ok, I can understand that. He just gave you a little insecurity in how to pronounce it. Well dude probably didn't know jack about Hondas and made up his own phrase, how did he pronounce it anyway?? One time I heard someone call an Si a "Ci", you know.. like in spanish lmao and I was like wtf. This thread is probably gonna get moved into general discussion.

I *think* he said "sigh", "chee", "che" or something...

Figured I'd rather look stupid over here than at the gas station!

I've always called it a "ess-eye" - although I occasionally slip and call it a "see".

That comes from living two hours from Mexico, I guess...

Truthfully...

I never did like the 1999-2000 Civic Si - If I did, I'd own one!

I just like the motor and tranny, soooo...

Close enough for the girls I go with!

This is the first time i've been into 92-00 civic forum in about a month. The reason because it's full of idiots. I'll be leaving now.

Er... Yeah!

That's the whole idea!

Killed an '08 Infiniti G35 today. I was just hitting 4th when the guy punked out...

Bwahahaha!

Wonder if he went home and told his boyfriend a '98 CiViC HX kicked his *** today?

You go with stupid girls. Then again, they probably don't really care beyond that perhaps they think that an "Si" is better than what it really is. Just like they don't appreciate a Mercedes for the engineering or the power. They appreciate it because they're being driven around in a Mercedes. As long as they feel special.

We're honestly not all this bad. Just a lot of us. Not me. God, please not me.

You forgot to mention the factory 6-Disc changer in the trunk!

Wanna Si it?
