Default After 9 years my 97 R is now turning 6 digits on the clock(56k friendly.....nope just kidding)

I picked up 97R #160 back in June of 2003 with 55k and today(april 22th) i finally hit 100k

97R #160 Before i left home

97R #160 after a short mile


I picked up 97R #160 back in June of 2003 with 55k

(my is the one w/ stock wheels, and the other 97 is #172 wit Gabs for rollers)


some of the good times. Scott i know you remember the last pic

Sooner or later i'll need to change the Timing belt and Water pump.
I have all the parts i need thanks to Len and the good people at Baranco Acura.
for the speedy delivery.

these are some more pics.




me and the R

Now that i've hit 100k, what else do yu think i should replace beside the timing belt, water pump, and other drive belts?

For some reason I always thought you had really low miles on your ITR, I don’t know why I thought that

nioce man, i know how it feels to hit that kind of mileage

keep the R clean

remember its still a honda, if nothing is out of usual you don't really need to replace anything
maybe valve adjustment and fluid flush if its time to do so

This is random, but I visited Chicago last New Years and I saw your car at a gas station. I used it as an example for why I was selling my gs-r to get into a Type R so I appreciate the help haha.

Depends how hard you drive it. I would check all bushes and motor mounts, especially rear and lower motor mounts.

and

rear trailing arm bushes.

has coolant being changed?

she looks good ;-)

Awesome! I can't believe my 97' will be 9 years old in July One more year for the big 1-0.

I should see 100k this year too.

Right now #171 is sitting at 94,800 or so
