I'm filipino and have a crazy filipino grandmother that goes through everything in the house...she cleans the house constantly and she constantly loses my belongings... this day is different. I wake up with a red package next to my bed? It's from ACURA. This package was sent to my house back in 1998. I've never once seen this package ever...Inside was a letter,survey,official real time ITR poster and keychain. It was such a great reminder of what I once owned before it was stolen. 1997 ITR 172 i miss u!!! Anyways I just wanted to remind you all of how cool you really are for owning an Integra Type R. Any one else out there recieve something similar?

I bought my 2001 ITR new in March 2001 and did not receive anything like that.

AFAIK it only came with 97's.

Based on the date in the letter posted above, it sounds like it also came with 98's...

His is a 97.... so i don't quite understand your argument.

 

2000 owner here, and I did not receive a package with ITR schwag. I could see this as something special for the '97 owners, though.. the "early adopters", as it were.

lol, Jeff (or his secretary) spelled Comptech wrong.

 

I didn't get squat with my 1998. Just a car!

ditto

 

I didn't get anything with my 01. Not even the fancy key the '97 guys got.

They spelled "Comptech" wrong on that letter, too.

They didn't get the [good intentions, ultimately not so useful) immobilizer, though.

Hmm... did the JDM get the immobilizer in 2000? If so, what does their key look like? I don't recall that topic before.

 

the letter was for a survey. Acura knew in 98 that they had created an awesome car and didn't have to do surveys again because 97 was the first year for ITRs.

Dah!

 

With my 97 I got a certificate of authenticity, which amounted to a 8 1/2 x 11 card with a picture of the car on the top and some wording and a signature with my Type R number. They sent me the wrong number though, so since I work beside Honda Canada I stopped by and asked for a correction.

The woman I was dealing with brought out an Excel printout with a list of all the Canadian Type Rs, their numbers and the names and addresses of the owners. I wanted that sheet so bad... it would have helped settle at least one arguement!

 

thats so cool.

 

Very cool!

 

This is a great post! Thanks for posting the letter.

Now fill out that survey, better late than never.

 

Blurr your address from the letter.... unless you've moved since.

You should fill in the survey and send it off

 

What up Josh! Its dope that you were able to find something like that.
I should try to get up with you one of these days. I regret not going to that Chicago honda-tech meet.
I doubt you'll be back in a R, but it was great having met you as the 1st other ITR owner.

But damn i wish i could have gotten one of those in my mailbox, but i'm the 3rd owner.

 

Ahhhh Josh. Frame that in your room. I'll still never forget that day. It will be missed. Donut worry, you still have many more cars to come and a sick car in your garage to hit up skyway with.

 

damn thats pretty cool how you got that stuff still laying around, i never got any of those items either.

Frame that **** Josh!

 

although i am not an original owner who didn't recieve such a letter, i do however have the poster and keychain. The keychains are a rare find, very rare find. To my knowledge the only way you could recieve the keychain was to fill out the survey.
