Re: '97 or '98 R (Unlimited)

Why? Does it have any advantages, performance wise, over the 97?

Re: '97 or '98 R (paste)

There are very minor differences between the two years.

1997 had No rear window wiper/squirter, different front bumper and rear bumper

1998 had the "sleeker" front bumper and more aggressive looking rear bumper,

For me, it doesn't really matter since they are both CW and we all know CW ownz!

97..... they're more rare than the 98's....

Down here in Springfield, we have

1 Turbo 97 CW
1 Turbo 98 CW
1 All motor 00 PY (mine)
1 Riced out 01 PY

I've got to say, besides mine, I like the 97 the best.......

Just looks a little better.

Word. I would take the '97 Integra and put the 98+ front & rear bumpers on and store the originals...

Re: '97 or '98 R (paste)

97's are better then 98s. The first 200 97's were all dyno'd and built a little more better since they were the first year made.

They also didn't come with a/c which saves even more weight

Re: '97 or '98 R (Jason Franza)

Was the motor ever hand made?
I remember the salesman telling me it was.

Re: '97 or '98 R (Type Rx)

Yeah i would like to find a stock one with decent mileage (a 97) and keep it mostly stock except for maybe a J's racing intake or something of that sort. I will try to find exactly how many were made...

Re: '97 or '98 R (paste)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the '97 ITR OBD-I? And OBD-II started with the '98 models? So you can make a little more power with the OBD-I since the OBD-II is stricter on what you can do to your engine....
