Default Type R/RA Roof Vent, limited only?

Did the roof vent only come on the Type R/RA limited's?

Thanks

Thanks, i was just working out what shell i would like in the future to build.

Seems the Type R and P1 shells are the same, apart from the models with a roof vent and the WRX/STI shells and the Type RA shells are the same apart from the ones with the vents, which i guess means the UK Turbo is all the same also.

Thanks

Thanks

I have been up to about 130mph on track with it open, just don't open it above 50mph as the catch will snap! Can't close it above 80mph ish either

It does put a fair bit of air into the car, you have to be careful of wasps/bee's getting dragged into your car though, wouldnt be a pleasant experience with one of those flying around and you driving at higher speeds

MY97 V3 STI V-limited came with a roof vent. It is not an RA. Should be in 53C blue - ie medium gloss, not the later, lighter met sonic blue. Limited run of 555 being produced.

2003 V-Limited (JDM) has roof vent as standard too!

What a down draft! Does make fair amount of noise at 80+ when closed though. I might need a new rubber!
