Overview of 1997 Honda Civic Type R For Sale by Owner

Now here’s a true JDM legend for sale in Pennsylvania right now. Of course, we know the Honda Civic Type R, but it wasn’t until the FK8 or fifth iteration of Honda’s halo Civic that we officially got it in the United States. By that time, it came packing turbocharged power, but gone were the old, naturally aspirated, high-revving engines. Thankfully, JDM Civic Type Rs have made it here, such as this 82,000-mile 1997 Honda Civic Type R from the EK generation. This was the first generation of Type R, and debuted for the 1997 model year, in Japan. This car comes with a host of Hardrace enhancement parts too, making it a real street warrior. And of course, there’s that screaming 1.6-liter VTEC engine that can show you over 8,000rpm on the tachometer if you dare.

Exterior and Interior

This 1997 Honda Civic Type R wears a clean white suit and comes in two-door hatchback form. It’s a compact-sized thing, yet manages to pack in four adults with ease. This car features genuine Honda sun visors with plastic rivets, door sashes, an MLK Mak lifter kit, TRS LED headlamp bulbs and Toyo Extensa HPII tires on its white wheels. The interior of this 1997 Honda Civic Type R comes with custom Recaro seat covers, a Spoon Sports steering wheel, a J’s Racing short shifter, a radio block-off plate, and genuine Honda Type-R gear shift boot and shift nut. You’ve also got genuine Honda pedal pads and even dash light bulbs for that extra bit of authenticity to please purists. The gauge cluster stares back at you with the tachometer redlined at 8,500rpm, while the right-hand side driving position and speedo in metric units reminds you that this is a JDM machine.

Engine

Now for the really juicy stuff. Up front is the fearsome B16 1.6-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine that is reportedly factory rated for 182hp at 8,200rpm. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and drives the front wheels. But wait, there’s much more. This car benefits from Spoon Sports 4-2-1 headers, exhaust B-pipe and street specification muffler. Then, there’s a long list of components from Hardrace, including front control arms, sway bar end links, roll center adjusters and camber kit. The rear suspension also benefits from a Hardrace toe kit, camber kit, trailing arm bushing, lower control arms, and more. There’s Tein Flex-Z coilovers, and so much more that you really need to see this car to check it all out.

Now here’s a classic JDM cult hero that’s pretty hard to find these days. This pint-sized 1993 Honda del Sol Si can give you a real thrill, thanks to its heavily upgraded turbocharged powerplant. The del Sol was introduced in 1992 and sold until 1998, as a small sport compact. It’s just 158 inches long and 67 inches wide, after all. This particular car has been significantly customized, making it a definite one-off for those who not only want a del Sol, but prefer one with added bark and bite.
