I was just wondering how many clean titled '97s are currently still out there. I know we can't account for all of them, but I thought it would be cool to see at least how many owners there are on H-T. A short mod list and mileage for each would be cool too. Thanks for any participation.

 

Clean title. '97-0110 @ 97,000 miles

Only missing VIN on front bumper (new OE Honda bumper).

Rebuilt VIN matching sotck B18C5 longblock in shrink wrap on engine stand.

Currently running an 85mm sleeved B18C (power/tq in sig). Lots of other goodies, misc. transmission bits, suspension, etc etc. I kept all the stock hardware with the idea that eventually it will return to OE configuration.

I've had two offers in the last six months on the car. I am on the fence about whether to keep her or not...

 

1997 type R number 126 still has clean tittle. As far as mods it's no where close to being stock.

 

Giddy-up! I've seen alot for sale lately. Good to see them still alive and kickin'!

 

since i like to post and its in my sig, my 97R is branded. kinda like it like that, dont feel bad about modifying it. i still wont cut on it though...

 

my friend has his 97 R that is still clean title with matching vins on block tranny and most body except for rear bumpe

 

97' #128

all matching vin #'s
no accidents, original paint
98% stock
jdm fd/act cromo lw flywheel, koni yellows
144xxx miles original engine(no rebuild), does not burn any oil...

have stock parts in a box in garage....

and a couple pics

 

Looks so good d00d

 

#446 here with just over 77,000 miles (125,000 kms) in BC, Canada, mainly stock.

 

#300 reached 170k km recently in Ont, Canada, K powered

 

#357 is done right!

 

anyone know who has 97-0666? does it exist?

 

bumpers have vin numbers?

where?

 

He's probably just letting it known that the front bumper has been replaced, so that is the only place where their wouldn't be a matching VIN. I don't think bumpers have VIN stickers or anything on them..

 

Yes they do. Its under the black metal bar that sits on top of the buper cover that has 9 phillps screws holding it in place.

 

F/R Bumpers, fenders, hood, door panels, dash and main chassis have VIN stamps. Basically any panel that can be stripped off the car during theft have VIN tags.

 

# 0097 is still alive and well with 58,xxx miles on her.

 

#60 is alive and not close to stock but is low mileage. Wish it was stock like my 98. It will be for sale soon due to moving and only being able to keep one.

 

Liking the low mileage I see on these '97's!

 

Agreed. I want to keep the comments minimal, but I just had to say that I like how this thread has turned out .

 

My thoughts exactly!


...I want one...

 

As most are likely aware...here's this one....about to change owners, if not already...:
