97's arent that bad, but have the draw back of being kind of year only car.
The computer and blower are year specific, but its easy to swap to a newer style blower if you wanted, its just vacuum lines that change.
And like I said with the computer, if you wanted to tune it or get another pcm, its has to be for a 97. And 97's where the first year of the new body style and have some quirks that kinda got phased out in the newer years.
yeah i knew the computer tuning was different just didnt know about the blower. but hell if its still a dependable car and runs as good as the 98-03's i wouldnt care
