Anyone know where I can find one of the very rare awd integra's. I here there are 1000 in the US. I was told they were made in 1995. thanks.

 

They were never sent to the U.S. However they were over in japan.

 

I was told there are 1000 in the us from a guy at honda. He said there was even a write on a find of one in a junk yard in Honda tuning.

 

not in the states man

 

Someone played you, the only thing close is the braile auot car, which used CRV parts. And now it is RWD i believe

Just because he works for Honda doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about.

I agree, some people at dealerships don't know jack about their own cars.

 

Only in japan and I believe fewer than 1000 were made, I haven't heard of any being imported from Japan either. They are much rarer than type-r's. From my understanding it was made for the cold/mountanous areas of Japan for a limited time.

 

Did any of you see the article that Honda Tuning Magazine did on making one? They used a CRV setup. I don't think they are finished with it yet.

 

That above pic is the Braile AutoSport car, and it is the same one in Honda Tuning or whatever, and yea its done, and it is strictly rear wheel drive now.

 

i read in another forum that the car was grossly underpowered, failed test marketing, never survived a model year and thus not exported

this is true. it had a sohc engine in it. looked like a lawn mower engine in the teg engine bay

 

if they made "1000 in jap." and the U.S is so big on RWD sports cars.. and they made the s2k RWD.. why didnt they keep the teg RWD if its been done be4, by the factory?

wouldnt this sell big?

 

No, because as much as people want to think the Integra is a sports car, its an entry-level econo-lux coupe. Made for FWD, agility, fuel economy and practicality. Just a "sporty coupe" not a sports car.

S2000's, NSX's, 350z's, Supras, etc...RWD Sports cars. A 140hp Integra isnt something they would want to market as a rwd sports car.

 

Precisely why the miata doesn't get any respect.

yea them **** come turbo now...

 

"right you are ken".....i remember reading a thread here about that awd tegg

 

remember the civic wagon? awd. well the integra awd is the same drivetrain in japan. so if you can imagine how the civic awd wagon was not a sucess here it would have been the same thing for integra. thats why we never saw one.

 

look up integra Xi (thats the model)

 

miatas come turbo from the factory now?!
