Stands for search dammit.

EDIT: I realize the search will omit both of those, so it's sport injected and sport injected-racing or something similar to that.

I'm pretty sure there wasnt...the SI model line got started in the late 80s...after the carbs were being phased out.

I think it's Sport Injected. '86 is when the first Civic Si came out and that was fuel injected.

An SI is a trim line just like a DX or anything else. It started in 86 as stated above. Before that there were so SIs.

This is a very good question....that I don't really know the answer to but I would like to see some documentation on it!!

If anyone has a link that defines it for sure that would be great!!

P.S. my brother once told me..."hey man, why did they leave the 'h' and the 't' out of the SI??" He thinks they are pieces of ****.
