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.

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
