    Civic Type R (race edition)

    This is the stuff* I want, full race preped CTR hehe





    This development programme has produced an exciting range of advanced racing parts for competition level racing, making the Type R a highly competitive contender in the world of amateur racing.

    The racing Civic Type R on display has been developed under the current GrA specifications and features:

    · A lightweight Chrome Molibdenum alloyed steel roll cage, offering maximum protection for driver and co-driver with additional torsional stiffness to the bodyshell.
    · A custom designed 6-speed sequential gearbox, created specifically for the new Civic Type R and the rigors of rallying on tarmac or gravel. The gearbox is operated by the driver through an ergonomic lever, which is hidden below the dashboard and positioned next to the steering wheel. The drivetrain is completed by reinforced driveshafts and a state-of-the-art limited slip differential (plate type with adjustable preload).
    · The engine has been further upgraded by means of re-profiled camshafts and other internals for competition use, all of which have been successfully tested in the challenging Nürburgring 24 hours race
    · A programmable, custom-developed Engine Control Unit (ECU) which also includes a competition data logger.
    · Lightweight carbon-fibre interiors (door panels, dashboard trims, floor panels) that combine the need for weight saving with the 'flavour' of hi-tech motorsport.

    The current production plans would allow the Civic Type R to obtain its FIA homologation in GrA & GrN on 01 April 2007. Orders for racing kits and parts can be placed at JAS Motorsport (www.jasmotorsport.com) from October 2006, with first deliveries forecasted for February 2007.

    In addition to this engineering relationship, JAS Motorsport continues to provide an extensive range of services to the Honda racing customer, including a free of charge telephone advice facility and full racing support on race tracks and rally events.

    yeah, why no recaros.... Think that would be the wise move while using recaros as your seat of choice in production cars...

    Not many serious race cars use recaros... Recaros cater more to the oem market for sports cars and street-sports. Sparco caters to proper racing (WRC, SCCA, BTCC)

    Is there a hole in the roof that lets the air in through the roofscoop? What if it is raining? You get a free shower?

    have you ever been in a car with the sunroof open travelling at above 80kms/h when its raining??
    You dont get wet, and thats with full sunroof open... (ok but i havent tryed it when its absolutely bucketing down)..
    Basically the air/wind coming up off your windscreen pushes the rain straight over the top of the sunroof.
    Just have to be quick to close the sunroof when you slow down...

    That's because the opening of the sunroof is flat. With the scoop, the opening faces the front. So it will scoop rain in. It'll scoop even more the faster you drive. LOL
