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:
