Overview of 1997 Honda Civic Type R For Sale by Owner

JDM fans will instantly prick up their ears when they hear the name Honda Civic Type R. This hot variant of Honda’s sporty Civic model really raised the bar in terms of front-wheel driving pleasure for keen drivers. The first Civic Type R was the EK9 which was based on the sixth generation Civic. With its high-revving VTEC engine, five-speed manual transmission and racy looks, it’s a desirable machine to get your hands on. Sadly, getting your hands on one is harder than you’d expect. Happily, we’ve got one for sale here right now. This 1997 Honda Civic Type R lives in Pennsylvania and has covered under 82,000 miles so far. It’s got a K-Tuned EM2 clutch master and slave cylinder kit, a Spoon Sports steering wheel, custom Recaro seat covers and that 8,000rpm engine!

Exterior and Interior

Dressed to impress in white, this 1997 Honda Civic Type R is a two-door hatchback that really punches above its weight. With its lowered stance, rear roof spoiler and white wheels, it isn’t too aggro, but distinctive enough that those who know, know. The car also sports some discrete Type R badging and decals, but nothing too shouty – unless, well, you know. The interior of this 1997 Honda Civic Type R is rather more vocal about its sporty aspirations, with a red theme dominating things at the front. We’re talking about the Recaro bucket seats up front; the rear bench remains in a rather more muted shade of dark gray. The car has got a Spoon Sports steering wheel, as well as a genuine Honda Type R shift boot and shifter nut. It’s also got that iconic gauge cluster with 8,400rpm-redlined tachometer. Oh, and let us address the elephant in the room; this is a right-hand drive car. For an enthusiast, though, that’s no issue. The car comes with air conditioning, power windows and power mirrors so you can easily use it on a regular basis. There’s no radio – in fact there’s a radio blanking plate in the dashboard, but you can fit your own, or use a Bluetooth speaker if you don’t want to remove that plate.

Engine

This 1997 Honda Civic Type R uses a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. And it uses Honda’s trick VTEC technology to deliver 182 horsepower at a screaming 8,200rpm! Torque peaks at 7,500rpm with 118lb-ft. Yes, you’ve got to drive it hard! Power goes to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox.
