I just recently bought a 2000 Type-R, and i was just wondering how i could find out what # it is? I have looked in the owners manuel and on the inside of the door. If some one could help me id appreciate it.
thanx,
Rod

 

No arm rest console??? Must be JDM y0!

 

should be a plastic thing on the arm rest with the number engraved.

yeah man if that not there i sorry to say but there seems to be somthin fishy bout it

 

I saw that on the arm rest, it said 1278. But, i saw something on the net that said only 500 was made in the year 2000, thats why i didnt think that was it.

Naw, that person was seriously wrong .... looks like you're #1278, congratulations!

 

Welcome to HT good to see someone from Kentucky on the boards!!!

 

when I got my 99 there was no engraving in the arm rest, like someone just forgot to grave in the #xxx of 99 .... I was told that the dealer had to get it done and they never did so its a misery number now!

 

it's on there, some are really really hard to see, (the numbers) i need a very close zoom in shot to believe that one

Yes, you can. You have to call corporate Acura and have them contact Honda of Japan. It takes a while, but it was done for me. They even contacted the dealership I bought the car from to notify them of the number.

It took me 3 or 4 calls to Corporate Acura to find a customer service rep who knew what I was talking about. The first 3 just told me it was the last four digits of the VIN.

Keep calling until you get someone willing to help you.

 

my last 4 on my vin are 0062, and my ITR number 0082, wierd

 

I tried for about 6 months with numerous phone calls to Acura, Acura Corporate, Honda of Japan, etc, to find out what car number the parts from B18CXr's came from. Never got a clear answer. I did hear from one person that it's the numbers from the VIN, but a few quick e-mails to R owners dispelled that theory (the first was to Splat who used to own 2000-0009). Anyway- good luck finding out.

Yep. We did some comparisons among the NC we-todds, and while there are some coincidences, the badge number does not line up with either the VIN or the engine code.

(Brandon - house pics will be sent soon )

Yeah i am sorry man but if you dont know how to identify your type r then there is really an issue at hand. Unless you just got really ripped off, your armrest was stolen or you somehow managed to sneak in a jdm type r.

I asked this question before and receieved a reply saying that the actual #'s were never actually released. Is this true or where did you get your #'s from.
