Honda says they only imported 1500 every year the Type R was made. Who has those extra Type R's?

 

Bored at work...?

 

I am. a/s/l/pics?

 

At home.

 

So how high over??

 

There's a couple at 1525ish, and then that one cracker has the black one 1825 for sale

 

Did they every cross over in the 2000s

 

I dont think they got into the 1600's did they?

I remember when I decided to buy mine, I called the local Acura dealer, and the rep said they stoped making them, and there would be no more shipments. So then I called the Acura dealer in DC which is the biggest dealer in NorthAmerica I believe, and the guy there said the same thing, but he said he had a list of special orders and since I talked to him a few months prior, he could sneak me on. When I went to pick it up a few months later, around 15 people were also on the list. I was 1492. So I doubt it goes past 1550 or so for the 2000 year.

TTT - I'm interested in this topic.

I below 1500.

 

Did Canada and the US share the same set of numbers?

 

2000 FBP 1526

 

yes

 

I have yet to see anyone with a duplicate number in that year. So I'm guessing Honda numbers the cars as they come off of the assembly line regardless of where it is going.

for example the assembly line might be like this:

Euro R #123, Canadian R #124, USDM R #125, JDM R #126...etc.

 

I am #1564 py in socali so does that mean my car was made with extra parts? They were like " Hey, we have some left over parts. Let just put another one together!"

oh yeah i got a 2000

The Euro ITR numbers goes to 5000 because it's for all the years produced...

 

I do... See my sig.

 

ditto

Check there.

 

That is high!
Did you get your new? If so, what month?

 

 

I doubt it, that would be very inefficient, considering they all have a different motor, some have different exterior features as well as different wheels.

 

woohoo! i have finally found my brother! '00 FBP #1525 here.

 

i got my itr in july 2000. it was hard to come by at the time because it was so late in the year to find one. but im happy

and yes i got it new

This whole numbering thing is impossible to figure out. My griend and I each bought our R's at the dealership on the same day, both from the same shipment. The last shipment that Scotsdale Acura got for the 2001 year. You figure our numbers would be consecutive, but he got #mid-1200's and I ended up with #761. Maybe it made a difference that I'm NBP and he's PY?
