IM not a race expert but i do believe i read somewhere they didnt put a sunroof on it because i sunroof allows for to much flex in the vehicle. People forget this was built to set a record and sold as a record track car same as what set the record. People all wanting it all having the SUV treatment and be a living room on wheels need to go buy another car. Lane watching , heated seats, sun roofs driver assists.... thats all great but not what this car is about.

Decreased torsional rigidity, and an increase in weight and CG due to extra reinforcements needed are the main reasons. And in our Civic's case, lower cost is also a convenient secondary side benefit from Honda's perspective.

Sunroof looks horrible on the R :thumbsdown:
And the little “Mugen” badge on the side of the stock spoiler, really...
Won’t even comment on the huge Type R stickers front/back...
I’m personally glad whoever owned it traded it in.

I have so many questions... but no answer will satisfy...what was the owner thinking lol. Just no.

Correct, going back though at the thread, it's a Sport Hatch body with a full swap from Type R, was purchased that way. So not technically aftermarket.
didn't mean it in any type of negative way, had my caps lock on (work purposes) and quick response (customer walking my way) and shot it fast. that was the thread I thought of as soon as I saw the picture.

Looks like somebody brought it because it's no longer on the site.

Didn't they confirm this isn't a type r, it's a hatch that they've swapped Type R parts to?

Edit: oh hey wait that's your thread! lol
That is correct lol

Yes, that is my thread ? Finaly got it working with the help of a member here a few days ago.
Just thought i'd post it here to see what people thought lol
To some it is not a Type R, but to me.. it's even better than one, but all still personal opinion.
