***the motor was never blown, i rebuilt the car the way i wanted it and took all necessary precautions.

properly tuned this car should make well over 200 hp, im assuming around 205-215 which makes it a low 13, high 12 second car.
if you are really interested, you can email me at
V1sarr@aol.com
im looking to get around 20,000 but im open to all reasonable offers, in a few days im going to put it up on ebay, i just thought since i been on this site so long, you guys should get first dibs.

im located in NYC.
btw the car does have a salvaged title.
the car was stolen and recoverd. the motor was being ready to be put in a civic but was stopped by police just in the nick of time. the theif was apprehended and served time.
i have full paperwork for the car as well as police report with all photo's and receipts.

here is a pic... not the best but you get the idea

205-215 whp with propper slicks... without a doubt

 

Id love to see that

<----whose 270 whp car w/ shitty stock civic street tires only ran 13.7 @106 mph

 

20,000 for a salvage title??

Nice car though..

 

there are many 200-210 whp tegs which hit 12's..

 

Some guy on this board hit 12.8 or something with 210+whp

I remember seeing a video......

 

you guys have no respect for a person, he will get what he wants for the car, if your not intrested dont post shitty *** remarks in his thread.

Gotta little sleeper r there man, looks stock lol

 

ABSOLUTELY AGREED!!!

the guy has a very nice 97 with alot of nice work done to it as well... that is too bad for the salvage title and hope he gets a good deal, I sympathsize his woes.

For those who doubt the power, and remember this guy is just speculating, also remember that the Toda B's make between mid 180's to mid 190's with stock compression, this guy has 12.1-1 Pistons and the toda B's have shown to break the 200 WHP mark when combined with tuning and higher compression.

Mid to low 13's with his setup are very possible on slicks, the right track conditions and the right driver, so high 12's might be optimistic but, who knows, anything could happen with the right combination. The R is not really a Drag car anyways, I say someone here n the NE buy that thing and make it into a Track *****, bust her cherry in the twisties.

It is a very nice car indeed and a sleeper 97 at that, Good Job! Sorry you have to give it up but, at least it was recovered and you were able to rebuild it. So many of these in the Tri-state just go away and NEVER get found. Hell, we thought there were NO 97's left in NY.

Funny how everyone jumps down this guys throat and noone has seen a dynograph or a time slip or nothin... The guy needs help and decided to advertise here since he thought one of his brethren might be interested.


Good luck,


A.

 

For a little support. I ran a 13.20 in the 1/4 with 206 whp. With a better driver and better prepped car, it would have made it to the 12s...

busta616 recently ran 12.9 at MIR. previously dynoed at 208whp. nothing was changed/added for the run.

 

200+WHP is all you need to run 12.90's in a DC2 (slicks, weight reduction, the right clutch and the right driver )

If a 175 whp ITR can run 13.8 (like I've witnessed personally) then a 215 whp car will bust a 12.90 with relative ease. I think lots of folks underestimate the ITR's straight line ability. I have friends here in NYC that have wickedly fast ITR's that look just like Flex's car (stock). There's a 500+whp Turbo '98 CW in the Bronx that will absolutely obliterate 99% of the cars on the road. Vettes, Vipers & Porsches included.

 

this car was never raced... i didnt even break in the motor... the car has no insurance and no registration, the new owner of the car would be breaking in the car for me... the car isnt tuned, and it was never dragged. the car sat in my backyard for a while till i reached my goal of all the parts i wanted in it.
i believe H-PIMP so my car. i also said 20,000 i already got an offer for 17k. salvaged title doesnt mean anything to me.. if i see a car i really like and it runs smooth with no problems, there is a possibility i would buy it. i have yet to see another 97 itr in nyc. why must you guys knock my post

 

It doesnt mean anything to you but it means a lot to future buyers as well as insurance companies. They dont readily insure salvaged title'd cars. I dont think they are knocking your post, just stating facts. Good luck with your sell

 

bump for a nice car

 

ttt

 

Number of miles on chassis?

 

32,000

 

 

thanks man!
i really appreciate everyone's kind opinions regarding my car

 

All motor ITR in the 12-13's, thats hot!

Free bump!

 

Wow, nice car.

 

Nice car

 

you cant compare what my friend ran in his car to what kind of POTENTIAL this car has. 1/4 is all about the DRIVER...theres no doubt in my mind that if this car was to dyno ~215whp, with the right driver it could go into the 12's..

anyways..nice car, looks clean
