Civic Type R (race edition)

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

I dont know about that, because the air will be rushing up off the top of the windscreen and straight into the scoop. meeh i dunno. Anyway its a race car, who cares about getting wet...

And as I said i believe its an option anyway.

its only got the scoop cuz its a rally car and if u havent noticed all professional rally cars got roof scoopz cuz the windos dont open.

u can drive a convertible in the rain at 70km/h+ with the windows up and not get wet, i dont see why a small scoop should be an issue...and yes i ahve tried it before and no u don't get wet...

FWD rally car??

Convertible with the top down at speed won't get wet. Because the windscreen forms a buffer in the front the "scoop" is essentially facing the rear. With the CTR scoop, the opening is facing the front, so it is scooping air/water in.

You can test by driving in reverse as fast as possible or be on a flat bed trailer with the car facing the back when it is drizzling, and the faster you go, the more wet you will get.

hmm...then how do you explain the GruppeM intake scoop for the DC5?
the scoop is facing forwards ontop of the bonnet...surely rain water will get in, but it works without a problem
