Type R Club of America

Also does this book add more info about these cars than what someone would already know from pissing around on Honda forums for 15 years?

And yeah, it's a cool book.

I had no idea this book was self-published, that is really impressive.

I concur, the book is awesome. I own a copy myself. For any Type R fan, it could be worth the coin.

Value is relative, but the high-quality photos, interviews (with designers, etc.), and diagrams are fun. I'm looking at my copy now and it is putting a smile on my face.

I wouldn't see it myself as purely for the knowledge/information value. But rather it's so cool because it's a Type R book.

I am waiting on mine. Lionel emailed me and let me know he would be shipping mine this week as he was out of town . Then asked me what type R model was my favorite. I responded with dc2 or ek9 . He then told me he was sending something nice for an ek9. . That was really nice of him and it was unsolicited. No clue what it is but I am looking forward to it. I thanked him for writing the book.

I got mine from King. Excellent quality and cool that someone would have the initiative to do this on their own. Cool that they are numbered as well. A must-have for any ITR enthusiast.

He wasn't able to denote that the red 2001 seats were a Canadian market item only as he stated that it was a North American option. There were a few other little tidbits of info that were not 100% accurate but since he was speaking from the European side of things it is totally understandable.

With shipping it/mine seems like it would be just a little more than from King.
... ordered after just reading the first few posts, before I saw that the book was available from King Motorsports as well.

Hopefully I can make it to Thunderhill. Ed

I got my book with the coolest secondary cover for it . Pretty excited.

Whoa, I hadn't noticed the EK9 CTR cover before.

He emailed me and asked what my favorite type R was besides a fk8. My response was either dc2 or ek9. He then told me he would have something nice with ek9 as a gift. I am guessing maybe he has other versions with different cars. I am not quite sure why I got one but I love it. I didn't know they were numbered until I read it on here. Did he sign all of them too ?

I got the best cover IMO and yes he also signed and numbered mine #1742. I love this book, it's the only Type R book afaik.
