I heard that the Si's in Canada and Japan, are known as the SiR, not just Si like here in the US.

Is this true? Where else are they the SiR? How come there not SiR's here? Do all the SiR's have the JDM engine?

 

i know thats true for canada. the civic sir's came with the b16

 

are you sure canadian sir came with a stock b16a?...i though canada got the same models they were just named different...and it is true that the crx si is called crx sir up north but i'm pretty sure it uses the same d16a6...no reason why honda would give canada a lhd crx b16a and not give its larger north american market the same thing

 

Only the new 99^ SI(usdm) are renamed SIR in canada.They are the same cars but diff badge.All older si's are the same US and Canada, just SI.

 

In Canada the Civic Si (as it is known in the US) is called the Civic Si-R, but it's the same exact car, not anything better. Civic EXs (as they are known in the US) are called Civic Si in Canada.

However cars like the 4th Gen JDM Si-R were much better than anything the US ever got, but that is just Japan and possibly Europe and around Australia.
