Edwin's Integra, soundly defeated by Dom and Brian, could be yours.
The 1996 Integra GS-R is said to be one of four principle cars used in shooting the 2001 film, and the only one that survives. It wears the, ahem, period-correct red-and-yellow paint scheme and boatload of sponsor decals that inspired thousands of high-schoolers to trick out their imports, and the dashboard was signed by Mr. Rule himself.
Edwin’s Integra was made famous in the first street-racing scene of the series, though it was seriously undermatched against Dom’s RX-7 and Brian’s Eclipse, both heavily fortified with nitrous oxide.
There’s no mention of how the car ended up north of the border in Winnipeg, and aside from its movie provenance and garish aesthetic it’s essentially a lightly-modded GS-R with an intake, an exhaust, a clutch and flywheel, a dropped suspension, and additional chassis bracing. Oh, and those nuclear-red seats and four-point racing harnesses.
