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.

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. We’re told that there’s a custom body kit, the engine has been turbocharged, and a manual transmission awaits keen drivers. If you’re itching to buy this car, it’s up for grabs in Milwaukee.

$22,500

The Honda S2000 has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: high-revving naturally aspirated power, a close-ratio manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, and a lightweight two-seat roadster layout with very little getting between the driver and the car. This 2004 Honda S2000 shows approximately 86,220 miles and is finished in Suzuka Blue Metallic over a Blue leather interior, one of the more distinctive color combinations offered on the AP2-generation car. Its specification stays close to the S2000’s original formula, with the notable addition of an AEM aftermarket cold air intake. With a 2.2L VTEC four-cylinder, 6-speed manual, torque-sensing limited-slip differential, double-wishbone suspension, and staggered 17-inch wheels, this is exactly the kind of analog roadster enthusiasts continue to seek out.

It also benefits from a number of enthusiast-oriented upgrades, including 15-inch Koenig Helium wheels, stainless steel headers, a MagnaFlow Y-pipe and catalytic converter, and an HKS performance exhaust, giving this MR2 a more distinctive look and sound while retaining the basic character that made the third-generation MR2 such an engaging sports car.

The 2002 Lexus SC 430 arrived as Lexus’ interpretation of the luxury grand tourer, combining V8 power with a power-retractable hardtop and a cabin designed for long-distance comfort. Showing 101,218 miles, this example is finished in Black and pairs its 4.3L naturally aspirated V8 with a 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Factory equipment includes run-flat tires, a rear spoiler, navigation with compass, and wheel locks, while an aftermarket Pioneer audio head unit brings a more modern interface to the cabin. With the roof raised it offers the refinement of a traditional coupe, while lowering the hardtop transforms it into an open-air V8 cruiser.
