:doh: i feel better now. :chuckles:

 

only 92-95 SI hatchbacks came with a sunroof,..no USDM 6th gen hatchbacks came with sunroofs,..thats why i installed my own

 

I have an Si with sunroof, and I'd rather not have it. It adds 100lbs of weight, right where you don't want it, at the top of your center of gravity....

my bros 90 si has a sunroof

 

since we are in the 92+ civic forum,..i was only speaking of 92+ civics,..sorry i didnt clarify

 

:eh: :thinking: you are exaggerating... aren't you? It is heavier, that along with all the power goodies is why a lot of weight conscious folks don't like EX's etc. but a sunroof does not way 100 lbs unless your's is some 3" thick bullet proof shit.

I'm waiting for some one to make a CF or Polymer piece like the Flexalite rear windows for the sunroof. I've heard they exist but haven't seen or taken the time to find them.

 

Well, 100 lbs. was what I was quoted, there is glass, motors, rails, etc. I've never personally had one out of the car, so I'm not going to say I'm positive. What do you think is a more reasonable weight?

Here ya go for sunroof, it's only for the CRX, and they say it saves 26lbs, 100lbs and 26lbs are quite different, heheeh.

I can't say for sure but it looks like all of the sunroof components were removed for the CF job then the CF filler piece was just screwed in with the latches. I can say with almost certainty that the glass does not weigh 26lbs by itself and the motor to operate it weighs only a few lbs at best so I would guesstimate that the complete sunroof assembly weighs at most 30 lbs.

Think of it like this, your average wheel with tire weighs anywhere between 30 - 40 lbs (average wheel not a light weight wheel).

Anyhow that CF job is nice but I'm a daily driver and like to put my sun roof back once in a while. I'd like to find one that is functional. I don't care if it's CF and I can't see through it when it's closed, so long as I can still open the damn thing.

Sorry for the OT rant

 

Sunroofs suck. BTW, my vx has a sunroof (an aftermarket one h: :sad: )

 

so what auto-x class does that put you in? rice-modified, or street-pimpin? :db:
