I have a automatic 1994 Accord EX. I just bought a 1996 2 door Accord Manual Shift EX, But on the trunk saids its a SiR. What does SiR mean and is this a good thing or a bad thing? Thanks for you help from a first time user of the forums.

 

special edition type r if i remember correctly.. most likely its a decal they put on to make people scared

 

Like he said, most likely a decal/JDM emblem. In Japan it's the 200 hp (H22A) powered accord. Shitty fact is they're made here in the grand ol' USA but are only available in Japan

 

sport injection race.....i think.

 

They might only be available in Japan but we sure can build'em here in the U.S.

 

SiR was a H22 (DOHC VTEC prelude motor) equppied accord from japan........basically, some ricer decided to be cool, and put "SiR" badges on the rear of the car.....why??.....so he could try to impress his friends....

this is unless of course you have an h22 already under your hood

This man speaks the truth

 

and how do i know if I have a H22 under the hood? the car is as fast as hell but who knows

 

Check the engine code. Probably an F22, but who knows might be an H22.

 

pop the hood, if the engine looks like this:
then its an h22

if the engine looks like this:

than you have a regular old accord
