anyone with a r1 or base with no sunroof and ever got one put in? just wondering if it possible..because life would be so much better with the wind blowing through my hair..haha thanks

 

Sunroof decreases performance and it's heavy. You can get a convertible if you like the wind so much.

 

Ignore slash and his condescending attitude ... oh, and smart guy, how's he going to buy a convertible FD?

Sure you can put one in, but I wouldn't do it. 90% of aftermarket sunroofs leak at some point. And I think the stock sunroofs have a slight curve to match the double-bubble roof.

 

so is there a way i could get a oem sunroof from somewhere? and if so what would a job like this cost.?

 

It'd be cheaper, and certainly easier, to sell your car and buy another FD with a sunroof. There were a few special order R models which came through with sunroofs. They've been talked about on the Forum and there's a picture of one in THE RX-7 Performance Handbook.

 

You can have mine.... I wish it were easy to get rid of or add one to an FD- but its not.

 

I have heard that if a sunroof is installed from anywhere but the production line they have a really good chance of leaking. Plus it is also expensive. That is what I was told when I got the idea to do the same thing. However, performance wise your better off without a sunroof because of the extra weight added with the sunroof motor.

 

The sunroof glass is shaped to the bubble roof. If you look at an FD (especially from the back) you will easily see it.

 

I wanted a sunroof in my FC too. I was thinking about my. My brother was telling me maybe I can put the 2nd Gen Convertible doors and make it a Targa. How about what. What's the good and the bad about that one?

 

I know someone who put an aftermarket sunroof in an R1 CYM... it sucks.

The cut caused the metal to rust over time and the finish on the interior is questionable... and.. you loose the bubble top. bad idea all around.
