Okay chaps..

I'll post just a few pics but i will be writing a full on installation tutorial for those that fancy doing this.

Heres the shocker

Heres the finished article, after 5 hours or so

Oh i started fitting the harness bar too but ive gotta wait till my harness arrive before i can finish the rest

Id easily be able to do another vent in approx 4 hours. I dont have any full car shots yet as the light is bad but i'll get some soon

My Mrs has just said why does he have a mini sunroof in his car? :lol:

The harness bar looks excellent........just need a full cage now

Ha ha.. Gotta love quotes off the ladies... mines just as bad "why do you need a vent?? You have air con" :roll: :roll:

I looked into the whole cage thing but the more i looked the more i didnt want to go down that route. I want it to be a track ready road car rather than a road worthy track car if that makes sence

Ha ha

You are a braver man than I !!!

I once saw a sunroof being fitted and it scared the hell out of me.

Can i show my ignorance though and ask what is the point of these???

The STi Spec C type RA didnt come with aircon as standard so this was fitted to help combat that problem.

Its real definitive use is so that it provede pressure to the cabin and thus keeping the cabin pressurised it provides air circulation for the drivers and helps keep dust/sand out on rally stages.

It will be nice for track where you are not allowed any windows open. I have aircon but i much prefer the circulation of fresh air in the car. Id much rather crack the window down than use the aircon 99% of the time.

Above all that though.. it looks damm cool and not many people have one
