Sorry, there is no way to find out your number if the plaque from the armrest is missing.

 

ok thanks... kinda dissapointing but oh well. i know i do have a type r.. can someone take a pic of the badge on the arm rest ?

 

dont know mine either.

Kinda ironic really, my badge is the only thing left that actually says "Type-R".

 

you can, therefore, make up your own number... of course, others make knock on you for that...

lol

 

i have the iTR badge thing on the arm rest but i dont remember seeing numbers on it. ill probaly check again when i get home since the car is parked from the snow.

 

we should start a unknown # type r club haha

 

someone once told me that if you look at the VIN number and the last 7 digits should tell you what number you car is kinda like: jhvdc2000735, like in this case you would have number 735. maybe im just wrong but hey maybe someone can shed some light on this.

WRONG

I suggest looking for stolen ITRs on this board and "resurrect" one of their numbers. Then when they see it they will have a cow because they will think you stole their car. Big fun for all of us watching from the outside :-)

 

This thread is so sad.

Joo guys are...Orphans...I'm gettin tears in my eyes....

Scott, whose armrest is long gone, but that torn dirty scrap of paper that I wrote my R's number on is around here somewhere...

 

once i found out the plaque has been missing it really took away my pride for the car... but i still love my car

The first few will read JH4DC231XXXXXX That will be an ITR.

Heres a thought.
Find the guy whos last 4 of his VIN are one less than yours, and the guy whos one more than yours. Get their badge numbers.
If you have a 97 or 98 your badge number is very likely to have fallen between the 2 around you. For some reason the 00 and 01 badges are alot more mixed up, although the same technique *might* yield reasonable results.

 

mine says JHDC2314VS800254

 

I edited my post above. Correct, it should read JH4DC231, not the 321 previously posted.

I just pretend that my R was the lonely one growing up, being picked on and debadged. But now he picks on most of guys that teased him when he was small. Because now, he's an all motor beast.
