Bah, moonroof means less headroom for wearing a helmet. I like not having one so I can sit comfortable and not have to hunch my head down when I have my helmet on.

Does having sunroof really reduce and make the chassis considerbly weak?

Are you able to notice it with daily driving?

I doubt you can feel much from daily driving.

I always wondered if it would be possible to get a sunroof removed.
I'm sure it would costly but the added headroom in my GS-R would
be so nice.

a type R with a sun/moonroof isn't a type R. even if it is one.

a type R with a sun/moonroof isn't a type R. even if it is one.
then by that logic, any type R with aftermarket wheels/exhaust/engine work isn't a real type r too?

one of the major characteristics of the R is that it doesn't have the sunroof. it's like having an R with cruise control and all the sound deadening tar for comfort..

putting a sun roof in a type r almost defeats the purpose of having a type r.

they didn't reduce the weight on our cars for nothing...

do you know how hot it gets there??

I see nothing wrong with a sunroof...

if this is the case, does adding sideskirts defeat the purpose of having a Type-R ?

A sunroof/moonroof is a comfort thing and the Type R is void of most comfort things. The R was made with one purpose, to go around a track as quick as possible. This is why most of us bought and love our car. A sunroof will not make you go faster just like cruise control.

I agree... a Type R should never have a sun/moonroof added. That is a comfort item. Suspension, wheels, exhaust etc are all performance. The R is more performance oriented, so it should stay that way. No body kits, no 18" wheels, no moonroof, etc. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but keep in mind the reason Honda had behind the R. With so few here in the states, why ruin them?

ok i see your points but.. lets take a step back here.. what IS a type R really? is it a race car? no. it's still a street car. althought it CAN be built up to be a fully prepped race car, in the end, it's still a street car. I see nothing wrong with adding comfort items to street cars.

EVEN if you pretend to be joe weekend racer, you still need comfort items. why did Honda stick in carpeting? or a sound system? or even climate control? cuz it's a street car.
