I live in Naperville, so it's possible we've blown past each other once or twice. Seems like there are several PY ITRs in the Naperville vicinity too.

I bought the R brand new from Ed Napleton Acura in Elmhurst back in September of 1997.

Yes we do. I got a lot of buddies wit type R's so yes we got to chill one day. I'm hoping early spring we can call an ITR only meeting. I hope we can get 10+ type-Rs to come out.
I don't see many PY Type-R's around Naperville or Wheaton. Most of the time I see white and black. At the last Honda-tech meet @hooters we had 7 Type-Rs show up (2 CW (both 97) and all the rest were black (all 2000 I think). Cool to see an original owner just got my R like 6 months ago and I’ve been running it hard. But R1zen yea we got to chill.

Number #50 is in great condition and still stock. I bought this last week from Wilmington, NC with 24,500 miles and it might have a stone chip or door ding (haven't found one yet though). I'm really psyched. This is my second R and I plan on keeping it 'till I'm old and grey.

Larkin whose bored at work and was curious

For 97 the general consensus is 480, 318 to th US, and 162 to Canada.

I wish I could be added to the list, I don't know what number I am, but whatever it is, it's deffinately alive.

It's a shame how fast these numbers are changing as of late.

97 Type R 85

#85 purchased in Georgia and housed in NoVa (Northern Virginia) found yesterday stripped to the frame. RIP.

Sorry to sidetrack a little, but in trying to get a fair insurance settlement for my 97 Type R #85 I would appreciate anyone who sold or purchased a 97 in the past year to e-mail me info about price and mileage: haden at cstone.net.
Thanks.

hope that helps wit insurance

integRated109

i should know n a few days what insurance says my car is worth, had about 52K on the odo. to be honest, id be happy with 16000 for the car as long as it doesnt cost me too much to buy the salvage back from the man. ill message you when i find out.

Im about to pick up a theft recovery 97 r next week thank god i havent put all my r parts i bought for my grs(ie five lug and inteirior) on it yet.I will have a 97 R brought back from the ded by next month,yay(sorry im really exsited!)

Lip

find out the number and after its registered post here

hondahans

Lip, how about a seperate column for those of us that have no numbers, but have an R to contribute to the overall count? It might help us get closer to the actual, physical number of 97's out there.

Lip

actually i think we found more then i expected on this site alone. Not bad at all but you can see lots are gone. I'm sure there must be a way to trace vin number to original owner and or dealer and find out that way. Thats the way i would have done it
