Well, after about 3 months of searching, I finally got an R. It's a 1997, #357. It has 76,xxx miles. It's very clean, the exterior needs a little bit of work, but it's in very good condition for a '97. Interior is flawless. Engine pulls very strong, it needs a timing belt though. There's a little bit of chatter/roughness when trying to get the car rolling, so I'm thinking it needs a new clutch too. Overall, great condition though .

Random thoughts and questions.... Seems both seats are loose by the seat rail, espically the passenger seat, is this normal? The passenger door also sticks, but I've read it's a common problem with 97-98's, is this true?

Anyway, on to the pics... they are from the previous owner, I'm part of the 1% that doesn't have a digi camera .

 

97...

Keep it safe. '97 forever, er, I hope.

keep that beauty safe CW > ____

 

Congrats!

I noticed the gas pedal looks flush with the brake pedal, is it not recessed or is it just the picture?

 

Congrads man! Nice and clean.

By the way, 97 #347 here..

*edit* .. My passenger door sticks from time to time as well.

 

Very nice....keep it safe

 

These threads are like a fresh breeze after reading all the stolen threads the past couple of weeks. Congrats.

 

Thanks guys, she has a good spot in a garage, and an old school alarm, but that will soon be changed. She's a beauty and I hope to keep her for a really long time. Thanks for the input on the door, mine is constant though, sometimes it sticks less than other times though. Also, anyone's passenger and or driver seat seem loose around the seat rail? Oh and for the roughness when going from a stop, a new clutch disc and pressure plate should cure that, correct?
