Default Are production numbers for each Honda chassis code publicly available?

Not sure if this has been covered, i couldn't find a list.....

Is there a list for chassis codes that show how many for each that Honda produced??

The two cars i am most interested in are EM1 models and ITR ever produced

Any input would be awesome!!!!

No, someone else in the ITR section has a list of ITRs. I think they have a general idea of the number of ITRs produced.

I had a thread where I was collecting VINs from EM1s to try to figure out ho many were made, but eventually it was deleted because one member said I was trying to steal cars. Ridiculous, but they still got rid of the thread because once that fear was posted I guess they decided it looked bad to keep it open.

Hasn't stopped me from collecting VINs though.

An informative thread title is required and helps you get more responses by letting members know what specific information you need:

I honestly would have thought the thread title was descriptive enough. Had I started the thread I wouldn't have thought it needed anything else.

I certainly didn't have a problem with identifying it in the list of new threads. lol

As far as the actually thread subject, I've tried calling Honda before and the representative told me that the numbers are not available.

I am still very curious why we're not allowed to have a thread for collecting VINs for EM1s, but we're allowed to have one for ITRs.

Does it just have to do with that no one has made a big huff about Doespike's thread(s) yet?

While I can continue to collect VINs elsewhere, every little bit helps and this is the largest Honda forum out there. It's not like I can force anyone to give me their VIN. And it's just silly to think I'd go around making keys to break into cars that I don't even know the location of beyond maybe the state or city the owner tells me it's in.

I understand the point. I felt that the original title "Production numbers" was still a little vague and could easily be improved. For example, production numbers of what? My point is not that the original title was awful but that, with a bit more effort, it could be made more understandable to most members. Clear and informative titles make for a better forum experience for all.

Honestly, I've gotten keys cut easily without proof of ownership and a photo ID. That's because my Honda dealership knows me very, very well.

I even helped then recover a 1999 black Si that belonged to them a few years back. It was parked in the same apartment complex I was living in at the time and I thought it was strange that the moonroof was left open for four days even though it was raining. Mentioned it in passing to a friend, who was a tech there, and he freaked. Said, "That sounds like my f***ing car. Can you get me the VIN?" So I got him the VIN that night and he confirmed it was the car when I called him. He and another tech showed up first, then the owner and another person and then the police.

Having a key to a car means little when I'd still have to buy a plane ticket to get to the state the car is probably in anyway. lol This is all the obvious stuff, besides that I would never steal a car or parts off a car. I get mad when I hear people steal bolts from the junkyard even. Wrong is wrong.

This is true. I can see where you're coming from. Plus better titles help with search results.

Default Re: Are production numbers for each Honda chassis code publicly available?

oh wow, i didn`t realize my title had been changed either, 1st for me ok, noted!

So it doesn`t look good in finding out. I`m going to do some digging and see if i can find any more info. BTW, i`m actually very interested in production number world wide, not just a North America thing.

The reason behind this is because i want to know how rare or limited certain models are. In my 1st post i am curious as to production numbers for all Integra Type R models, being that they were produced from 1996-01....and since i have an EM1 model civic produced only 1999-2000......i am very curious to see how close or how far production numbers of those two chassis are!

3822 USDM ITR's produced IIRC but I have seen another site say 5050?
9424 98+ JDM ITR's (3 door)produced
641 AUDM ITR's produced

again IDK if those numbers are correct and of course they are DC2 none of that DC5 gayness.

I'll let you know when I figure it out.

I've been trying to figure out 6G Civic production numbers for several years now.

All I've found is people making wild guesses and Honda employees saying Honda doesn't make them information public.

You're welcome.

I really wish I could find information on this stuff, but it's so spotty at best.

Funny thing about my EM1 VIN list btw. There was a member who gave me his/her VIN awhile ago. They no longer owned the car, but were curious of what happened to it. I tried finding info for them when I was given the VIN, but couldn't find anything. So I wrote the VIN in my list twice (as belonging to the first owner and then the info I had on the second owner).

I found another resource to check some basic info on US cars. Just a way I can check if the car has a record of theft or a record of a total loss.

Luckily I got to report back to the previous owner that the car didn't come back positive for theft or total loss. Not a lot of info, but nice to know the car is probably still out there.

Production did NOT end with a 2001 DC2, its 2002. Just 1 was produced and IIRC Spoon has it.

Really? So does that mean the Honda was producing both DC2 and DC5 models in both 2001 and 2002? That seems strange!! I had a 2002 RSX myself right from Japan

Bump for anybody who might be able to help.....

So far, i have been able to confirm that in the USA, for the years 97,98 and 2000, Acura had imported 2500 Type R's. Don't know about 2001 yet,

I have not found and solid numbers on EM1 models for the 99-00 models years yet

PM me any EM1 VINs you find of cars for sale or links to cars for sale and I'll add them to my list if they're not already on there.

you can find where a car is located by the VIN. my lawyer has a system in which he found where a car was registered to by that info. a license plate was also acceptable. i can see the fear in giving out VINs.

I have zero reason to use any VIN to locate a car.

So far I also haven't found a way that I can use the VIN to locate the car, save for perhaps buying a CarFax report, which could give where the car was titled in the past. That still puts the car in a huge area though.

The VIN is the one thing I can use to differentiate from one car to another. The cars' mods are likely to change, color can change (and really doesn't help much since there's so many cars of each color).

It's hilarious this is a problem with $6,000 Civics when owners of ITRs are much more likely to give out their VINs/serial numbers.

Either way, I'm not forcing ANYONE to give me their VIN. I just can't add a car to the list without the VIN. It just plain has no place to be listed and no way to be tracked.

EDIT:
Here are some samples of cars on the list. I didn't post any of this info. The info in the links is all posted by the owner/seller/dealership.

I can probably find out, but I'm still questioning the reason behind it? Lets say 5,000 EM1 models were produced, who cares?

Well, I see posts and threads like this one every few months, plus many people claim that the EM1 is a rare model, so they might want to know how rare it is.

So judging by the number of people who post about their rarity or post regarding production numbers, I'd say enough people are curious that it matters. Enough people are interested that I would think by now if the information was available it'd be out there.

I care!! I want to know how limited a model it is??? Especially to the Type R, being that it has more years of production.

I am a collector, and will be keeping certain Honda's and Acura's for the long term!!! Just like muscle muscle cars, i want to know that my EM1 is one out of how many???? This is nothing new, but i'd rather try and find out this info now, rather than 10-15 years from now, might be harder. I don't even care about the vin's, at the end of the day, i want to know how many were produced...if you could help, i'd really appreciate it!!
