this man speaks the truth...

good luck with the 97 and keep us updated throughout your progress. we in this forum get rather "excited" on these kinda rebuilds

 

also, many people in this forum will be able to help and guide you through this process being there is many that have done this kinda thing before

 

Add another to the list... F theives.

 

thanks guys. i should have some pics up tomorrow. and am looking forward to all your input and help.

 

Sweet find. With the limited number of 97's I would suggest to put it to 100% stock. What are your plans?

Your beginning to sound like a broken record.

 

yeah. i plan on keeping it stock. with some minor mods here and there. i just ordered the JDM HID front end. and will be picking up next week. right now i have a 98 spec itr motor in my gsr. and will swap that into the R.

 

good luck with it!

 

great car to start with good luck doing the same here

 

congrats! '97's are hard to come by...

good find, looks like it probably had a JDM front on it before. If you dont mind me asking how much did you pick it up for?

 

howmuch did u pay for it

 

got the car for 4k. seller also included a jdm recaro seat. jdm front core suopport. entire a/c lines and system. brakes have been upgraded to brembo rotors and gave me 98 engine harness. still have to pick up those parts..

 

Poor 97 R

Best of luck with the project

 

Most everything is still there... body still looks straight...

BRING THAT BEAST BACK TO LIFE!!!

 

Got a buddy in Arkansas selling a HID JDM ITR front end in case your intrested.
Only a few parts are in CW..but most importantly the Rad support is CW and I think the hood.

nice find.

 

Good luck w/everything dude

awesome project, my only hope is that you wont swap too much GSR stuff in

ie MOTOR

 

Good find! Takes me back to 2 years ago when I picked up mine for 8k with blown motor that costed me only 80 bucks to fix. Car had SMSP headers and catback, Toda Spec C's, AEM cam gears and fuel rail, RC 310's, hondata s100, and lots more. I got an absolute steal on it. Put it back together and put down 201 on crappy tune. Good luck and never get rid of it. Hope mine never ends up the way you got that car though.
