It'll cost you a packet to do and cost you even more when you sell. If you want a sunroof get a VTi-R.

Type R's don't have sunroofs for 2 reasons:
1. The added weight....type r's try to save as much weight as possible
2. Sunroof makes the cars body less stiff, so the type r in trying to keep a more rigid body, opts to not have the sunroof.
I love sunroofs so for that reason and the fact that only a few relatively cheap mods with a good driver can match a type R, is a good enough reason for me to save a lot of money and get a Vti-r with a sunroof :)
This topic is 2 years old.
Almost 3.
yes topic is old.. but who cares.. get over it buddy
yeh i know why they type r is the way it is.. but i just wanted to know if it had much effect..
the thing is you dont get all the things in a vtir from the type r..
but adding a sunroof costs only 1k.
and making the body a bit rigidy wont matter as it will be for street anyway..
in that case it won't make any effect at all. just will make your teg look nicer :)
You'll pay 1k for a sunroof to be added then sell your car for LESS than if it didn't have one. Waste of money, don't destroy one of the few remaining DC2R's.
But it'll never be a Type R. No matter how much effort and detail you put into it, it'll forever be a VTIR, imho.Quote:

anyways tot he reviver... the cheapest alternative are those aftermarket ones that sort open on one end only... not good for anything but for smokers who want to let smoke out... it was done on my old gt starlet by the previous owner.. receipt stated it around $1500 from memory. twas a very good clean job but they will have to cut your roof.
.. if not a type-r get a cheap gsi and convert engine... would probably work out cheaper... my mrs got a pretty good deal on a gsi for $5k but no rego.
yea i don't understand the idea of people being sour over others bringing up old topics. So what if it's three years old. Does ur dc2/dc2r just disappear after 3 years? do no new members join in those three years?
guys i thought this was a forum for people to discuss their honda's and most ppl who need the help like myself are students/young drivers who can only afford a 2nd hand honda to start off their dreams. and hey, so what if they didn't happen to be 18 or woteva 3 years ago? does that not entitle them to be included in the discussion? i'm sorry if this is a long rant and completely unrelated but this is a good topic and i've read through it myself previously and i find it insulting to find that if i had added my input before that i would've received a 'flaming'.
thats my 2c.
Haha. i reckon aye.
People are like... "why not use the search button, and post there?"
Then when they do, they're like "why bring up old topic?"
Haha. Where does one post then?
they're not that rare mate. imo if u wanna put a sunroof on it go ahead, just dont expect to get back any money you spend on it coz purists will see it as a waste ;)Quote:

they are my thoughts... but i like building my own toys...
if you get a VTiR make sure it is 98+ with twin airbags and facelift front and rear ends.
they are just as nice as the Type R inside, but cheaper insurance-wise too
hmmm, not sure where in my post i say it is a Type R mate?Quote:

yes, most parts will (parts that won't fit include the intake manifold), this is because the Type R is simply a modified VTiR.Quote:

(NB - some of the modifiations listed in the websites above were also part of the 98+ VTiR's "facelift" such as the aero refinements)
Assumtion for sure, I personally wanted sound deadening and elected not to desecrate a Type R by adding my own. That was the only thing to sway my decision. It's also a common assumption that all Type R owners can drive.:pQuote:

If you get a vtir the upgrade of these parts is more significant. as opposed to buying a type r, and trying to find better internals, not a cheap mod.
other deciding factors, do you drive for the performance or the luxury, first thing i noticed about the R is its noisy, because it has no sound deadening. not the nicest car to do traveling in.
i just found a great writeup on the differences hope its not a repost

WOW guys awesome thread iv just finished reading all post , im after a vtir as i want a car stable n wif a bit of grunt , my only thing id do to it as it would be my 1st car in 8 months when i buy it, id lower it, thinking of getting either black or yellow colour not sure yet , some rims would do nice.
Im not to fusy but as from reading this thread seems like vtir is my go, id use the car to drive mostly around on the weekend n to work which is 2 mins away. also love 2 put a system in it.
Im not a rev head at all. As i have a full license and im veery safe on the road, so iv been looking at prices on the honda vtir and iv seen them around for 9grand but i havent searched fully yet.
thx agian
Yellow VTi-R's don't exist.

get the type R, but don't get a black one cuz I'm after one. With a VTiR, you'll feel silly at the lights next to the real thing.
It's like being on the podium at the Olympics. The Type R is winning gold, whereas the Vti-R is the silver medal. You almost got there, but not quite, and you'll always look at that silver medal on your shelf, and remember that you were second best. Then there's there's the GSi, which is the bronze. Hey, you managed to sneak onto the podium, and you're just happy you ended up with anything.Quote:
