So I was on the hunt for another rhd car, since we sold our sir-s a few years back 
I kept a close eye on the Japan auction site for the last few months. We finally bid on this 96 Honda integra xi. Luckily we won the auction and the car was now in transit to Canada. It was on a boat for over a month. I received the car in november 2012, I picked it up at the local port and drove it home.
Pictures of the car from the auction site. It only has 97,000kms!
So this is a rare xi model, not to much information on them. It comes factory with a zc engine, yes a sohc!! lol.. fully loaded except moonroof. It does not have rear disc, it has drum, and the rear is set up itendical to the jdm type r's with the ball socket lower control arms.
So when I got it home, I checked the car over really well. Was in great shape no rust at all, just some minor paint issues mostly faded on the roof which is typical for Japanese cars. It was already lowered on a nice set of r&r suspension, full addzest audio and of course the hideous 17" chrome wheels!!! those were first to go lol.
The plans for this car is to make it a nice daily driver, yes even in the snow unfortunately. First mod I did was paint the inside of the headlights black and removed the wing.
I also put my tc05's on just for fun!. They are not staying, I have a complete 96 spec type r disc conversion with 4x114 rims to install.
Apexi ws2 exhaust, front lip and type r wing next!
