Re: 97 ITR

Hello MINTY It is certainly maddening. What you should do it to call the reception desk of the city office (city hall) in which you live and outline what has happened to you. As you say unless the video cameras caught her in the act, it is unlikely there is any hard evidence against her. So you have...

Re: ITRs versus Sportbikes

Hello Len I was comparing their character, Len, not the raw statistics. The VF1000F is a sportbike built by Honda in the mid 80s. When I wrote my post I had just driven the VF and it reminded me of the way my 97R felt. Both are purpose-built and don't come into their power until higher revs and when...

ITRs versus Sportbikes

Hello One and All Over the last month or so I have finally been able to get the old VF out of the garage and drive it. My particular motorcycle is a modified version of the 1985 VF1000F (a picture of it is posted in the ITR registry). Call me an old fuddy, but having a bike that is top heavy is kind...

HOW MANY LEFT??

Hello Learned Community I have a multi-layered question which I have asked myself a few times, and I am not sure how to answer it. How many ITRs are left? Since there are so many iterations of this questions, its hard to come up with a reasonable answer. One could ask: 1) How many ITRS in total (dri...

Nice article from Sports Cars Forum

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen Over the lunch hour I came across the following article. Other than the 0-60 times seeming longer then they should, I throughly enjoyed the read. http://sportscarforums.com/showthread.php?p=950597 The gist of the story is that they pit a 1998 Acura Integra Type R against a...

Hello Gentlemen I would have to agree with Dave_B. If you have decided you want a specific year and specific color with a specific history (unmolested and such) you have put yourself into a position that requires more money than wisdom would dictate. When I went hunting for mine, cost almost became ...

Hello Just a little over 59300 kilometers (37K miles). Right after purchasing the car, I brought it to a toyota specialist who also love Hondas.

And yes, it is one of the 160 (or so) Canadian (CDN) 1997 Rs. And from my research, over twenty of the advertisements I...

Hello Thanks to Doespike a number of pictures have been posted of my 97ITR, badge number 385. As some may recall, awhile ago I wrote into this forum asking for advice under the posting - HOW MUCH. In that post I said I was looking for a 1997 ITR with low mileage and untouched and wanted to know how ...

Re: HOW MUCH!!!

Hello Doespike That is a very indepth answer. Thank you. When the 97s first came out there was an Canadian artical stating that Acura was planning to bring out 190 examples. Months later, another Canadian magazine which was testing a 1997 Contour SVT against a 1997 Type R said that only 160 were com...

Hello 98 ITR747 Thanks for the link. That is an amazing car and well worth the price. Presently, the only reasons I am not contacting the seller are: 1) While importing an American Car into Canada is not too difficult, the other costs would add about 4000 - 5000 dollars. Nevertheless, based on my re...
