Just wondering if I could get a Honda integra DC2 from Japan, import it here and it would be street legal. oh and one more thing, If the RSX is a Integra in Japan, Whats a TSX?

No because the DOT and emission wont let it be because japan has different DOT and emission laws. If you know how to get it into the USA with a company that isnt full of bs then do it but as soon as it gets to us shores your screwed and it be ship back or crashed. better to buy one here. And the RSX DC5 is Integra in Japan not sure what TSX is

The "INTEGRA" model in the U.S. is distributed by ACURA which is a division of HONDA. Probably not much difference except for the strickt U.S. emissions controls on all cars imported into the US.

Not sure about the Integra question.But the Acura TSX is sold in america. The same exact car is sold in Europe under the name Honda Accord. So the TSX is just the European Accord.I'm interested in the answer to your 1st question though, because I think the JDM Integra has more HP than the RSX, so it would be really cool to get one and drive it here, also I have always wanted a right hand drive tuner car.Hope the info on the TSX is helpful, goodluck with the other question.

c420wizzle why dont you just do a right hand drive conversion.. its a fun project =]yes you can get and use one in america... if can buy a JDM engine and import into america why not the car? any way want the JDM specs?....http://www.team-integra.net/sections...s.asp?Show=5if your still not sure talk to an import companyjoin team-integra.net and honda-tech.com if you get 1 =]... then we can race if you in Cali.

No because here in the US, we have diffrient emmision laws, while Japan also has diffrient laws. That's why you dont see alot of Nissan Skylines and Honda Integras and AE86 Truenos around. The emmisions are more strict here in the US.But if you want a DC2 Integra, go ahead and get yourself a 94-01 USDM Integra, and give it the JDM front end conversion w/ the type-r spoiler and rims. There you go, a replica of a DC2 Type-R Conversion.Or you can get one imported, but youll have to make it a right hand dirve, make it pass smog and emission laws, and thats pretty much it.The RSX is an Integra DC5 there, the TSX is called a Honda Accord Euro over in Japan.

why it's way too much work then you'll be shifting with your left hand. I would be afraid of mis shifts. Just take a usdm integra type r and convert it with an authentic jdm front end. Good luck finding a good type r, that's unmolested.
