1997 Acura Integra LS with J32A2 Type-S Swap

 

Up for sale is a one of a kind Acura Integra. This clean 1997 Integra is equipped with a V6, 3.2 Liter TL Type-S motor! 260hp and 232lb-ft of torque are unmatched in the world of 4-cyclinder vehicles. This Integra sounds mean, and has the power to back it up! As you can see the hood has been custom fabricated, allowing for this rare swap to sit exposed to the near-by on-looker. The J-swap is an uncommon swap to see, let alone own. This is your chance to save the hassle of building one, and own it today! This car is truly exciting to drive, and guaranteed to turns heads where ever you go!  

History:

I purchased this car several years ago from a friend who was leaving for the Army. He originally completed the J32A2 swap, with intensions for track use only. Over the past 3 years I have put this car back together for weekend enjoyment, not just track use. There are still several loose ends that need completed, as I have not fully completed this build. Here is your chance to complete several loose ends and take pride in completing the build, and not just purchasing it. This Integra starts and runs as if the it were brand new! The motor has low miles and is very reliable, starts every time, doesn't burn oil, no smoke or idle issues, and pulls harder than any Honda I’ve driven.

The full car harness was originally converted to a 2002 Acura TL automatic. The motor was later upgraded to a 2002 TL Type-S motor. The issue is this vehicle has an automatic ECU on a 2003 V6 Accord 6-speed transmission. The ECU thinks the vehicle is in neutral and will not engage the VTEC or reserve lock-out. I cannot change the ECU without having it chipped to bypass the factory ignition immobilizer. These issues can be correctly easily with the AEM ECU, or CL Type-S ECU and 6-speed engine harness. The car runs and drives great, only lacking VTEC at the moment. I do not have time or desire to complete this vehicle, and would like to pass it to someone with the excitement for unique Hondas. I am currently in school full time, and work full time on top of building two other cars; my loss is your gain. This car is truly in great condition, and about 95% complete. You will also be hard pressed to find a green Integra that doesn't have tan interior as well. If you’re into unique builds, than this is the car for you!

Honda expands Takata airbag recall to 5.4M units in the US

Tue, Dec 9 2014

While Honda already announced plans to take its front driver's side Takata airbag inflator recall nationwide, the automaker has now officially reported on the number of affected vehicles and the specific models in need of repair. The expanded campaign covers an estimated 5.4 million units across the US, including those already being fixed under the previous regional actions. That number is an expansion of the five million units initially reported by NHTSA. The affected models under the nationwide recall are the 2001-2007 Accord with a four-cylinder engine, 2001-2002 Accord V6, 2001-2005 Civic, 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2007 Pilot, 2006 Ridegline, 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2002-2003 TL and 2002 CL. For customers who expressed concern about their vehicle's safety, Honda had already been replacing the inflators nationwide. It's possible for the inflators in these vehicles to rupture when inflating the airbag, spraying metal fragments at occupants. This problem has been blamed for at least five deaths worldwide and at least 139 reported injuries. In its statement, Honda said that it worked with Takata to test the recalled inflators in the original high-humidity recall regions, and there were no abnormal deployments in these evaluations. Honda will begin notifying owners by "over time," according to its statement. Priority will be put on the geographic areas with the highest risk of ruptures. Those in the original recall region were contacted in September. Earlier in December, Honda partnered with Autoliv to supply the automaker with replacement inflators for this campaign. Autoliv predicted it would take six months for deliveries to start. Takata also increased its production of substitute components. Scroll down to read the company's announcement of this nationwide expansion. Statement by American Honda Regarding National Safety Improvement Campaign: Driver's Front Airbag Inflator Supplied by Takata Dec 8, 2014 - TORRANCE, Calif. Honda will voluntarily expand a regional Safety Improvement Campaign initiated in June 2014 (NHTSA No. 14V-351) into a national Safety Improvement Campaign affecting certain 2001 through 2011 Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to replace the driver frontal airbag inflator, free of charge. Honda is expanding this Safety Improvement Campaign to address concerns raised by its customers whose vehicles were not included in the regional campaign.

2014 Acura MDX priced from $42,290*

Fri, 31 May 2013

The fully redesigned 2014 MDX goes on sale in July, and Acura has now confirmed that its largest crossover will be priced at $42,290 (*plus $895 for destination). Unlike previous MDX models, Acura will offer the 2014 model with both front- and all-wheel drive (the automaker's fantastic Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive, at that), and this base price is for the standard, two-wheel-drive MDX model. At the base level, this new pricing represents a $990 decrease over the outgoing, AWD-only 2013 model.
Four trim levels will be offered across the range, all of which use Acura's direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine good for 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include things like push-button start, Acura's fancy new Jewel Eye LED headlights, the next-generation AcuraLink system, an eight-inch multi-function display screen, blind spot monitoring and a premium sound system.
Moving up from there, the Technology package ($46,565) gains 19-inch wheels (18s are standard), forward collision warning, lane departure warning, a color TFT display, rain-sensing wipers and more. The Entertainment Package (bundled into one $48,565 model) adds rear seat entertainment to all of that. At the top end, the MDX Advance model gets unique wheels, remote engine start, 12-speaker ELS premium audio, adaptive cruise control and more. Adding Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive to any of these models results in a $2,000 price jump.

Watch an Acura NSX prototype lap the track at Mid-Ohio

Sun, 04 Aug 2013

As promised, Acura trotted its NSX prototype out to the mass of waiting fans ahead of today's Honda Indy 200 IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio. The hybrid supercar took to the track for a fast lap, and Acura was kind enough to attach a score of cameras to the car in order to share the event with the rest of the world.
The blue-wrapped NSX looks pretty darn good on a race track, if we do say so ourselves, and its V6 engine, coupled with its three electric motors and lithium-ion battery pack, sounds awfully sweet at full song. The automaker is promising to release its new NSX in 2015, which is still quite a ways away, so we don't expect this exhibition lap to be the last time we see a prototype in action ahead of a production debut.
Want to see the video? Of course you do. Scroll down to see the NSX take to the track like a fish takes to water.
